WORK OF RED CROSS
AID TO WAR PRISONERS SUPPLY OP FOOD PARCELS O.C. WHANGAREI, this day. Insufficient men were members of the Red Cross, contended the chairman of the New Zealand Red Cross Society, Mr. C. G. White, in addressing members of the Whangarei centre last night. Men seemed to look upon the Red Cross as a women's organisation entirely, but although women carried out most of the work connected with the movement, men also should have wide representation. People did not appreciate to the fullest the fact that the International Red Cross had practically saved the lives of all prisoners of war confined in Axis prison camps, through making available sufficient food supplies and through boosting their morale by allowing the transit of letters. For this reason he thought every next-of-kin should become a member of the Red Mr.' White left to-day for Kaitxia, Kaikohe and Dargaville.
