BRITAIN NEEDS HELP
Next Friday the Red Cross Society is appealing in Whakatane for money for food for Britain and for the Red Cross general purposes fund. Few will refuse to contribute.
Right throughout the lurid history of mankind’s struggle for a decent standard of subsistence there have been the unselfish few who have been ready to sacrifice time, food and, in later times, cash, to help the less fortunate to survive. That is practical Christianity. That is what the Red Cross stands for. The banner of the Red Cross has become an international symbol of succour to the victims of man’s inhumanity to man, to the victims of Nature’s caprices. Be it war, revolution, famine; be the cause human folly or Nature’s whim, there the Red Cross stands to help the sufferer, to ease the victim’s pain. Just now Britain is in a tight spot financially. She is also eathep-sharfc try has abundance of the things our kinsmen need. The Red Cross organisation stands ready to get it to the places where it is needed most. All the average citizen is asked to do is to patronise the street stall next week, or make an outright cash donation. >
