Stewart is one of a small,
but growing, number of men *
who ‘have recently. become
involved in Red Cross’ new —

A.I.D. program. . The

program’s name stands for
Assistance, International 7

and Domestic and, in terms
of volunteer numbers, is one

of Red Cross’ largest.

programs in Canaila.. ane

Until ‘recently, the
volunteers participating in.
this program had. been made_

up exclusively . of: women.
But a shift has. started and
Stewart i is evidence oft it.

What drew his. ‘attention

“was . the. tremendous
volunteer --opportunities "
~~ suddenly. open. to men in the -

. activities. largely _ centred -
. around knitting,. sewing and.
crocheting, ' ‘now. everything
from wood carving: through
to pottery: ‘and leatherwork is...
open to the. volunteer. : In °
other words, the entire oS
“spectrum. —

-“There’s been a total “de-

- emphasis on producing basic. .

clothing for shipment ' to

_ disaster. victims.. We're now .
making things only. .for the.
purpose . of. resale. That —
means - ‘bazaar items. And
we, meaning the men,
certainly don’t have to take a

back seat to anyone. when it
comes to gearing up for a

oo bazaar."
