RED CROSS PROCESSION

The funds for the Red Cross candidate were considerably augmented by 'numerous street, demonstrations of a lively older. A procession started the headquarters at Nathan's Buildings, but before long- became so > merged in various other processions that it was*almost impossible ,to tell one from the other. All the workers were loaded with flowers, for it *vas a Flower Day. Gifts were provided in plenty, • one of the most notable .donations being over 1000 patriotic buttoii-holes 3< draped with red, white, and blue ribbon, from Miss Cooper. These were all sold within an hour, and many more were to hand. AD the flowers sold readily, and the only difficulty was to keep up the supply. The Red Cross badges also sold well, and before noon more than one collection-box full of money — the coins ranged from pennies to half-crowns — was returned. The committee ha« at least a dozen, motor-cars running all day, and the "Queen" candidate, Mrs. Algar Williams, is among the workers.
