Entire Proceeds From Event on
 March Going to Red Cross.

The Sunshine society, which is one of the most active women's societies in the city, have exhibited a com mendable spirit in making the deci- sion that instead of dividing the profits of the annual whist and dance equally with the Red Cross, the entire profits of the affair is to be given for the work that the organization is doing. Tn the past years the Sunshine so- ciety conducted the affair for it's own profit, but it was felt by the mem- bers that this year some of the money should be given to the Red Cross. It was finally decided that the Rcd Cross should receive all the money over and above the expenses of running the affair.
 The event is to be held on Friday evening, March s, at the EIks club from to 10:30 o'clock. Mrs, George Loomi& has been appointed general chairman in charge of the affair and the following have been appointed assistants: Printing, Mrs. Otis o.
