An appeal has been made to the local
Red Cross units for clothing for the
Belgian refugees that We should all heed.
Even here we must do our part and the
combined efforts of the nation will save
many lives and much suffering. These
people have been robbed of everything
and left TO the exposure Of the coming
winter. Articles Of clothing, partly
worn, can be made useful for the chill
dren of Belgium, but it is subject to ex-
pense 10 transportation 30 We must give
value enough to make 1t worth while.

local Red Cross rooms by the Esd Of this

that the hand of ruthless enemy has
not DESTROYED our fair land, We must not
forget the people that are crying out to
US for assistance In their hour Of distress
and suffering.
