Have You Amy Good Clothes You

The local Red Cross chairman has
appointed Mrs. T. NJ. Moore chair
man of the local c. r. B. drive which
begins in Ocala Monday, March Is,
and lasts until March 18th.
The Red Cross cares for the help
less and destitute French and Bel
gians behind the allies lines, and the
commission for relief cares for the
suffering people of Belgium and
northern France under the occupation
of the enemy. Even the well TO do are
short of necessities, and the poor are
in dire need, and so the commission
for relief begs of you to give your
spare clothing The commission for
relief has the ships, and along with
the grain and food stuffs there is
room for all this clothing. The Unit
ed States expects the minimum to be
5000 tons of clothing and one-third of
the shipment will go to northern
France and two-thirds to the Bel
gians. Only strong and durable ar
ticles are needed. so don't bother to
send your rags. They need not, how
ever, be in perfect condition, for there
are thousands of women there who
are only too glad to work all day
long for the smallest amount, and
also there are thousands of those
little better off financially who are
glad to help their poorer sisters and
at the same time to take their minds
off their own troubles.
Read the following list of garments
needed and don't send others. Don't
send mems stiff hats. Don't send
women's stiff hats. Don't send wom-
ems fancy slippers and evening
dresses. Don't send rubber goods in
any form, such as suspenders, gar
tiers, etc. Don't send any messages,
as no written material can go with
commission goods into these territor-
les.
Especially be generous in the line
of warm flannel articles, for upon
your generosity hang the lives Of
many helpless babes who are now
being swaddled in rags.
This drive begins Monday. Begin
that day and send clothes to Mrs. T.
NJ. Moore on Fort King avenue. If
you have no way of sending articles,
notify any boy scout and he will call
for them.
