Cass County Asked to Supply
Ton of Clothing for Refugees

Henry P. Dawson, director OF the
american Red Cross, has set aside
lhe week OF September 90 to 80 as
the period in which clothing for the
ten million refugees of Belgium and
france should be collected and pre-
pared for shipment. The Northern
divisions share in this collection
has been set at $50 tons, and of that
amount the Cass county chapter has
been asked to supply one ton or 1900
pounds Of good, clean, serviceable
clothing. Last year the response to
this call was very generous and it
is hoped that 1t will be equally so
this year.
We, who are well clothed, can
hardly appreciate in what dire need
these people are for necessities.
Stocks of clothing and raw materials
are long since exhausted and there
is no means for importing any ex-
cept what the commission OF relief
in Belgium has been permitted to
make, and these have never been
sufficient. The world is now short Of
clothing and raw material and the
commission can now no longer pur-
chase what is needed. Every house
hold in this land can find some spare
clothing, worn or outgrown, which
will be an immense help to these
destitute people.
Every kind Of garment for all
ages and both sexes is urgently
needed. In addition piece goods,
light warm canton flannel, and 9TH
er materials from which to make
garments for new born babies, tick
ing, sheeting, blankets and woolen
goods OF any kind, and shoes OF
every kind are asked for. Scrap
leather is needed for repairing foot
wear. Since the clothing will be
subjected to the hardest kind OF
wear only garments Of durable ma
terial should be sent. Garments need
not be in perfect condition. A hun
dred thousand women in these oc-
cupied regions are anxious to earn
a, small livelihood by repairing gift
clothing, and making new garments
adapted to the needs with which
they are familiar. The garments
particularly needed are mems wear:
shirts. three-piece suits, light col
