CLOTHING CAMPAIGN FOR
LIBERATED COUNTRIES

Every kind of garment. for all ages
and both sexes, is urgently needed.
In addition. piece goods, light, warm
canton flannel and other kinds of
cloth from which to make garments
for new born babies, ticking, sheet
ing, and blankets, wooden goods of
any kind and shoes of every size
are asked for. Scrap leather is need
ed for repairing footwear.
Since the clothes will be subjected
to the hardest kind of wear, only gar
ments of strong and durable materials
should be sent. 1t is useless to offer
to any afflicted population garments
Of 1imsy material Make the gifts
practical.
Garments need not be in perfect
condition. Many thousand destitute
women in the occupied regions are
eager to earn small livelihood by
repairing gift clothing and making
new garments adapted to needs with
which they are familiar.
Woolen goods of any kind whatso-
ever are acceptable; soft hats and
caps for all ages, and sweaters OF
any klnQ ana size.
Mems shirts and pajamas. so worn
or shrunken as no longer to be ser
viceable are particularly welcome,
since the material can be utilized for
making children's garments.
Sending garments that cannot be
used increases the cost of handling,
as such articles have to be picked out
at the central location point, and
causes useless expenditures of money
on articles which cannot be sent
abroad
The Red Cross is paying the freight
and chapter workers should be certain
that every cent paid the railroads is
helping to forward some useful ar
ticles to the stricken countries of Eu-
rope.
Do not send ball dresses, fimss
dresses, high hats, straw hats. trim
ming for hats. feathers, umbrellas
n nattresses, clocks, glassware, toys
cellars. neckties, shoe trees, canes
parasols, pillows, crockery or rugs
The people of the liberated countries
need clothing even more than food
Committees have been appointed
and they viii either call on you OF
phone you during the coming week
Please make your donation as large
as possible. The need is appalling.

There will be a weekend rate
from Friday night to Tuesday
morning, and Sunday rate for
that day alone.
Under the proposed schedule,
Tampa, st. Petersburg, Port st.
Joe, Fernandina, Jacksonville,
Atlantic Beach, come in for pat
ronage of excursionists from ter
ritory adjacent, and hotel propri-
etors and other business men are
gratified with the arrangements
which will no doubt enliven the
summer business.
Secretary Whitney of the Flor
ida State Hotel Association is not
satisfied however, as he declares
that the Florida East Coast Rail-
way should have low rates to st.
Augustine, Daytona, West Palm
Beach and Miami. He has writ
ten a strong letter to Gen. Pas
senger Agent j. ID, Rainier of the
Florida East Coast Railway, ask
ing that an effort be made to give
the East Coast cities recognition.
