THE RED CROSS

ANNUAL CONCERT

AWARDS MADE

"The Red Cross is a truly international organisation, and in these j days when we all think and act, inter- f nationally it is a reminder of the t fact that we cannot exist apart from * one another," said Dr. A. Gillies, at . the annual concert and prize-giving of the Wellington Centre of the Red Cross Society, which was held in the Town Hall last night. Within six months of the Armistice, he said, the organisation had been formed, five nations taking part, and now more than fifty nations had Red Cross Societies in their midst, and it was hoped to make the society world-wide in the fullest sense of the word. It was a,; true Holy Alliance, paying no regard to nation, class, or creed. Dr. Gillies J mentioned the activities of the body in I various parts of the world and outlined f the work of the Wellington Centre for c the blind and others suffering from c physical defect. The Red Cross, he c said, was always ready to help the t community, and was always prepared c for any emergency that might arise. It s was at once practical and realistic, and J provided the complete answer to the f question "Who is thy neighbour?" j The prizes were presented by her i Excellency Lady Galway, who was re- I ceived by Dr. Gillies, the president, i A guard of honour formed by Hhe £ Voluntary Aid Detachment awaited £ her Excellency, and Miss Nancy Gallo- < way presented her with a bouquet. During the first part of the evening s a concert was presented by members '-, of the society. Loretto Cunninghame , played a violin solo artistically, ana j a waltz, by junior pupils of the Wellington East Girls' College was warmly applauded. J. Galloway played a ( Percy Grainger "Country Gardens" number very effectively, and the Wei- . lington East Girls' College gave another dance number. The best item of the evening was lan Galloway's performance as Scrooge, from Dickens's "Christmas Carol," and he shows distinct promise. Awards were made .as follows;— JUNIOR SECTION. Home Nursing.
