Province, to government agents~or other officials in unorganized districts, and to the.heads of public and2patriotie associations, ‘Wherever there are branches of the Canadian Red Cross Society, they are being asked to make the collection, and all those ‘whom this letter reaches are requested to assist. “The Canadian Red Cross Society having established three] district centers covering the province, I am advised that the committees in places north of the 53rd parallel should report progress to- or ask further information from the Hon, Secretary, Canadian Red Cross Society, Prince Rupert; south of that parallel, if on the mainland, from the Hon, Secretary of the Society at Vancouver; and if on, Vancouver Island ot other islands, from the Hon. Secretary at Victoria. “Similarly, as, soon as possible after October 18th, remittatices should be made to the same Red Cross officers,” - APPRAL OF THE JOINT WAR COMMITTEE ‘It becomes necessary for the Order of St, John and the British Red Crosa Society to appeal once more to the generosity of their friends and supporters at home and overseas for funds to carry on-the work of mercy for the sick and wounded of His Majesty’s forces, ‘ The Joint Committe has decided again to make such appeal on’ October eighteenth; and we earnestly beg your. assistance in making it “known to the peaple of the Dominion, "Our Red Cross work di@ now costing eight thousand — pounds [app. $40, 000] a day, gna increases rather than diminishes, Our help ig given-in every: theater of the War and to. _ troops from every part of the Empire, and will. have to: — be continued ‘for some time, even when victory has been achieved. - .
