The wide circle of friends in the
National Capital of Mr.. Escott

Washington. Mr.. Reid was Second
Secretary of the Canadian Lega-
ton for some time, serving until the
summer of 1941, and has been ap-

Foreign Office in Ottawa and was
here last week for short stay. He
will be back shortly and as soon as
he finds living quarters for his FAM

dren will join him, although he may
make a trip back to Ottawa to get
them.
Mr.. Reid will be attached to the
Embassy as First Secretary though
he Is not appointed to that post to
succeed Mr.. Hector Allard, who has
been transferred to Mexico City. Mr..
Allard has been here since shortly
after the establishment of the Lega-

cation during the regime of the late
Mr.. Loring Christie as Minister.

those days was Mr.. Ronald Mac

route to his post and after serious

what can we do for the war
effort and what can we do for the
men in the armed forces?" were
the two questions asked of the
American Red Cross by school boys
and girls all over the country.
And the American Red Cross an
swered: You can buy more War
Bonds and Stamps, which is the
duty of every loyal American"
Hast year school children in the
District of Columbia alone raised
over $4,000 for the Red Cross
War FUND.-
You can take one or more of the
various training courses open to
Junior Red Cross members (Which
means any girl or boy in the ele-
mentary grades right through high
SCHOOL, and equip yourself for emer-
gencies that may arise on the home
front or enable you to take over the
work of older men and women in
the armed services"
Today there are school boys and
girls in the District who have sue
cessfully completed the first-aid and
advanced first-aid courses, girls and
boys trained in nutrition and food
values, girls who have completed
the home nursing course, husky
boys who have qualified for the
stretcher-bearing corps, girls trained
in canteen work and girls who have
their own production units in their
respective schools. This war has
taught us, and in a comparatively
short time, that unframed labor is
of no use. That if we are to serve,
it must be in a service in which we
are qualified and trained. Think,
then, what these children who have
learned to be useful can do to fill
the increasingly depleted ranks of
their elders on the home front And
think what this independence will
do for their own future Welfarel
The Junior Red Cross of the Dis
trict of Columbia has its own coun-
Gil. Recently this council voted to
equip a recreation room in one of
the nearby camps for servicemen.
Some of the schools are collecting
furniture, reconditioning it when
necessary, other schools have con-
tribued money, one girls school has
given some beautiful handmade rugs
made by the girls themselves, an
other has volunteered to make cur
tains. For sometime now the Man

turning out the most professional
looking furniture you've ever seen
all made by the boys-to be used in
various camps in and around Wash

Recently call came from camps
In the Eastern area for games. New

hoped there will be a Staff Assistants
Course for the school age youth and
also the Red Cross hopes to have a
dietician's aide group for the young
sters, as has been so successfully
done in nearby Baltimore. Already
the Junior Red Cross of Washington
has put on two magnificent broad
casts under the direction of DR..

Who is at the head of all this
who supervises these girls and boys
and sees that this Junior Red Cross
accompllshes what it does?" we
asked. And the prompt reply was

started to attract those older than
the children's concerts attract and

the pocketbooks OF these young
people.

tai Memorial Hall and the directors.
Mrs. Thomas Burke and Mr.. and
Mrs. Marcel Ancher, are planning
their campaign for the SALE OF

Continental Memorial Hall. 1t was
a thoughtful and generous gesture
of the guild in sending to musicians
in Russia strings for their instru-
ments, as many Of the players have
had to forego the pleasure and
solace which playing ones favorite
instrument can give. The presenta-
ton was made at the Soviet EN-
bassy last week and the guild has
other plans for aiding fellow
musicians,
