- Scope and Content
- Black and white photograph used in St. Thomas Times-Journal article published December 3, 1965 with caption: "They Work for Others - This picture of busy women sewing diligently for disaster victims around the world was taken yesterday in the Red Cross Headquarters, St. Thomas Branch, Wellington Street. Garments for infants and children, clothing for adults, bedding and many other necessary items are made by these volunteer workers. The Women's Institutes in Elgin County have answered a request for volunteer aid by sending members from many of its branches, and hope has been expressed by L.J. Anderson, president of the local branch, that this will become more active and expanded as the new year begins. Shown, left to right, are Mrs. Clyde Bond, Mrs. John McGugan, who is a long-time local volunteer, Mrs. Ernest Shelley, Mrs. Clarence Raine and Mrs. Floyd Kipp. With the exception of Mrs. McGugan, all are members of the South Yarmouth Women's Institute."
