VICTORY CLOTHING COLLECTION DRIVE
 ENDS SUCCESSFULLY

The Victory Clothing Collection was concluded in Juneau Saturday, Jan. 19, when $500 garments and PTS pairs of shoes were shipped to Seattle. where they will be reship- ped to New York headquarters, and thence to UNRRA for distribution in the wartorn countries, including China and the Philippines.
 The clothing contributed was all clean and mended and of high quality, and the response better than was anticipated because of so many previous drives.
 Since the collection was carried on entirely without funds to pay for any services, it meant that many persons were called upon to donate their services, and everyone re- sponded wholeheartedly.
 The committee, headed by Mrs. Harold Smith as chairman, wishes to thank all who gave so generously not only of clothing, but also of their services.
