 Plans for the Clothing Collec- tion in Watertown and Oakville have been completed and the time has now come for action. The ready response to the call for workers has been most encouraging. A rep- reSentative organization of every family in the community. This must be delayed. During the next few days our clothes closets must be cleaned out. All useful cloth ing, shoes and bedding that can be spared must be assembled and pre- pared to send to the appointed de- pots during the week of April 16 to 21St.
 We would not hoard food while others are starving, nor will we hoard clothes while others perish from exposure. He are haunted by the sufferings of nrultitudes of people in devastated countries. We have longed to do something about it. Here is our chance. The suc- cess of our Armies in Germany seems to use 8 miracle of might. Now we are about to have share in a miracle of mercy. Vast SUD- plies of clothing now cluttering the closets of America will be quickly Whisked overseas to relieve, com fort and save millions of men, wo- men and children. This gigantic act of charity will reveal the heart of America and contribute to that reservoir of good will, so vital to the future peace of the world.
 Every home in Watertown anc Oakville will want to have a gener- ous part in this miracle of mercy"
