The funds realized helped them to romplete their contribution to the Red Cross and placed a gen erous amount to the disposal of the local chapter. The patriotism of the ladles of On tario has again been demonstrated when It Is known that the number 'of those registering for national ser vice has far exceeded all expectation of those having, the matter In charge.
