Red Cross
Will Provide
Xmas Cheer

* Servicemen In
Hospitals to Get
Special Treats

Santa Claus will go feminine
this year and change his beard
for a trim Red Cross uniform,
and so will his helpers, his chor-
isters and his messengers — at
least for the Canadian service-
man in hospital both here and
overseas. ,

No hospitalized serviceman will
be overlooked if the Red Cross
can help it, from one end of
the country to the other, i)
Britain and on the continent, ac-
cording to Dr. Fred W. Routley,
National Commissioner for Cana-
dian Red Cross Society.

British Columbia’s part in this
will be gift-crammed Christmas
stockings for nearly 2,200 men,
1,400 of whom are confined to
seven military hospitals in the
Vancouver district.

Included in this latter number
are several hundred overseas vet-
erans who will spend their first
Christmas home in hospital. From
B.C. Division warehouse will yo
stocks of Christmas gifts to be
distributed by Red Cross groups
to hospitalized service men ‘1
Victoria, Nanaimo, Chilliwack,
Vernon, Comox and Port Hardy.

Overseas, Canadian servicemen
in hospital and barracks will re-
ceive a special Christmas treat in
the form of extra messing, pro-
vided from approximately $31,400
allotted from National Red Cross,
and extra woollen comforts will
be given to hospital cases.

Three thousand hand-knitted
socks, packed with a variety of
comforts, have already been sent
to military hospitals on the con-
tinent and 7,000 will be sent to
hospitals in Britain.

In London, plans are underway
for special parties for troops at
Canadian Red Cross Clubs, so
that this Christmas of peace, even
though celebrated away from
home, wil be memorable.

In Canada, each local brancn,
as well as each provincial divis-
ion, is making big plans for the
great day and many will include
British servicemen in Dominion
hospitals, too. Those in sanitar-
iums and military and Depart-
ment of Veterans Affairs Hospi-
tals will be remembered Christ-
mas morning.

Special gift parcels, sometimes
in the form of a useful pair of
socks, stuffed to the top with
candy, fruit, toilet articles, games
and books wil greet each service-
man that day.

This Christmas, people throughout the land will join with thankful
hearts in the gaiety of the holiday season. At last the war has ended
and the world is entering upon a new era of peace. All of us have a
passionate desire to see the peace continue forever . . . to have an
opportunity to promote social progress, to improve the standards of
life and live together as good neighbors in freedom and security.
This lasting peace can come. It can come when men resolve to
practice tolerance and spread the spirit of cordial fellowship, which
seems to take temporary possession at Christmas, more evenly, the
year round. Then will the star of the Peace of Christmas shine with
a steady and undimmed light all over the world.
