Department and dry goods stores in cities and towns across the, cour- try, cooperating with the i,l65 branches of this American relief or- ganiZation, will supplement the work Of Bundles for Britain's 400 sewing rooms by creating new facilities whereby more women may partici- pate in this humanitarian effort.
 In hundreds of stores already en- rolled in the Sew for Victory cam paign, space has been set aside for sewing rooms, machines and other equipment made available for vol- unteer workers, and cuctomers have been invited to join classes in the store workrooms, In many of these stores, competent sales clerks assist in the selection of inexpensive ma terials and patterns for simple, prac- tical garments for women and chil~ dren, for which there is Q particu- larly urgent need throughout the British Isles.
 Sewing groups are being organized among women's clubs, in local schools and churches. Inexpensive fabrics and findings will be used to make garments especially suited for civilian wear in bombed-out areas, air raid shelters, camps, rehabilita- ton centers, hospitals and rest homes. An illustrated chart of suit able types of garments has been supplied to stores throughout the United States by the Dritz-Traum Co, Inc, makers of Talon slide fasteners, cooperating with Bundles for Britain in sponsoring the Sew for Victory campaign.
