Eaton's sent a "tremendous amount" of drugs.

Note Miss Forrest was put on the Medical Supply Committee and worked very hard on it.

Note Ten or twelve soldiers worked at T.C. (&Technical College) doing the heavy work such as moving packing boxes etc.

Note Many of the very good workers in the Red Cross worked in the hospitals. This left the Red Cross at a little disadvantage, as a great many entirely inexperienced workers had to be used, and they had to be taught how to make dressings etc. "Some awful work turned out, but it served the purpose."

Note On the 6th of December, saw Miss Edith Bault driving her car filled with wounded.

Note Saw Mrs. F.B. McCurdy also driving wounded to hospitals.
