The (liar-lottetown Hotel on Mon- day. February nth. will be nor.- oured by the presence of Mr. 1.. A. Winter. 0.35, of Toronto. honor- ary treasurer of the Canadian Red cross. who will be the guest speaker. ' Mr. Lewis A. Winter has given full-time voluntary service to the Red cross since December. 1939. when he was appointed by the National Executive Committee as Oomptroller of the Society's funds and also became a member of the central Council of the Canadian 'v Red moss society. In May of 1946 i' . he was elected as honorary treasur- er. As under the by-laws of the Society no officer may serve more than three years in the same cap- acity. the Nominating Committee during succeeding years has altern- , . ately appointed him as honorary . comptroller and honorary treasurer ' so that the society need not be dewived of his invaluable services. In 1918 His Majesty was grac- .. iously pleased to recognize Mr. A Winter's outstanding contribution to his country during the war by appointing him an Offcer of the Order of the British Empire. Throughout his career Mr. win- ' .; ter has devoted himself to the ser- : vice of others. He has guarded , the funds of the Red Cross with ti untiring care through the trying years of war and perhaps evenmcre difficult post-war period of reor- , pnlzation and retrenchment. He is admired throughout the ranks of the society from coast to coast for - the painstaking attention to every '' detail revealed in his meticulous financial reports. " In May of last year Mr. Winter was made an Honorary Counsel- hr of the Canadian Red Cross So- oletyf This is the highest honour Iiat can be conferred on nryone by the Canadian Red Cross society and no one was ever more worthy of receiving it than Mr. Winter In whose personality and life of ser- vice is typified the true spirit of ' Red Cross. vlfr. Winter ruyiesented the Can- n Red cross society at the sev- teenth International conference of Sodlcroas societies which met in Sweden in i943 and to -which he will undoubtedly refer in his ad- dress at the annual meeting of the P.

"He has business at Tan Pu." said sheila Havelock. with perhaps the faintest irony in her vovioe. "I've wasted for too much of a busy man's time as it is."
"He has arramed all that with his firm," said Mr. Gialmers pati- ently. "by wire."
"Oh!" said shells. in little blank- ly. "Anyway. he needn't nave bothered. I'm most grateful to you -both. But I'm quite capable of looking after myself."
"I can't take the responsibility." said the Vice-Consul obetinaiely.
"Then you'll have to take the re- sponsibility of looking after me here," retarted Sheila. "I'm not travelling any further with Mr. Dale-that's definitel"
Mr. Chalmers returned to his of- fice. with the satisfaction of know- ing at last what was meant by getting a flea in his ear.
He was not pleased when Leslie Dale's only reaction to the story was to laugh.
"WIhat's behind all this?" he de- manded irrltably. "Have you been making yourself a nuisance to the girl? Why's she got her knife into you?"
"Ask her!" said Leslie malicious- Iy.
PERIL BY NIC-l.l'l' l
That night came the first of the Japanese air- raids. Sheila, who was staying with the Gonau1's sister. who kept house for him-a nliddled-aged leathery- skinned woman. who reminded her of Janet James without. Janet's heart of gold-had just gone to her bedroom. when she was aware of a singular crescendo of sound in the air. shells was already partly un- dressed. but wrapped in a borrowed kimono she peered out of her win- dow. To her amazement the streets were a, seething mass of people. jostllns. Pushing. carrying the weirdest collection of goods and cattle. They moved with heads. lowered, and shoulders curiously hunched, as though expecting to be whipped. A few distracted police were en- gaged in trying to get lights extin- guished. to prevent a complete jam in the streets to establish some scrt of order. Their efforts were quite futile and in any other circum- stances would have appeared mere- ly comic. The sound oi approaching engines swelled. and swelled in the dark- ness overhead. "Mrs. I-iavelock." said a voice be- hind her. "you must put your light nut. and you must nct look out of the window. I am just going down to the cellar. I promised my bro- ther-" Sheila burned round. Her hostess. quite grey in the face. and looking grotesquely like a thin teddy-bear in a woollen dres- sing-gcwn was twittering in the doorway. The Consults sister sighed with relief. and bolted down the stairs irresistibly reminding shells of the White Rabbit. sheila paused for a moment to collect her cigarette case and some matches; then she started to follow. But cm the staircase she stopped.
