An appeal has been made to the people
of this country to send 5000 tons OF
clothing to the destitute Belgians and
French behind the lines in the occupied
districts. Today, Thursday, closes the
first local attempt to secure garments for
these homeless people. 1t is to relieve
great suffering that we are asked to con-
tribute blankets, old ticking, shoes, stock
ings, used garments for men, women and
children, or cloth from which they can
be made. Only strong material can
stand the hard usage that it will receive.
Garments need not be in perfect repair,
as women are given employment making
them ready for service. Every home in
town can and should spare something.
If too late for this weeks shipment find
something for next. Leave your bundles
at Clement & Adams and they will be
cared for by the local Red Cross.
