more than a vocation reSOrt-it is

present time, only about 60 girls
can register for a week.

been doubled this year in order to
enable the federation to meet the
clothing needs in its steadily ex-
panding fields of child service.
W. Howard Pillsbury, chairman
of the National Advisory Commit
tee of School uperintendents
made public cabled message sent
from Paris a short time ago by
DR.. Howard E. Kershner, the fed
eration's vice chairman for over
seas. This message read: Have
completed a five thousand mile tour
of Western Europe and seen many
thousands of undernourished. un-
dersized. ragged and nearly bare
footed school children. Every eff
fort must be made to restore their
health and continue their educa-
ton
Clothing collected by the feder-
alton is distributed abroad for the
relief of child war victims in
France. Holland. Belgium, Fin
land. and among refugee children
in Sweden. In America, clothing is
distributed in needy rural areas of
eight southern and southwestern
states, in which the federation op-
crates its sponsored school pro-
gram. Many of the children in the
American areas served come from
families with cash incomes of less
than $400 a year. If it were not
for the Bundle Day collections,
MANY of these children would not
be able to attend school during
inclement weather because of lack
of proper clothing.
THE public school Bundle Day."
DR.. Pillsbury wrote, provides a
practical and effective means of
clothing collection and, at the same
time, teaches youth in our schools
to share with the less fortunate.
A sense of brotherhood will be fos-
tered and a foundation laid for in
ternational goodwill by partici-
patton in the 1947 National Chill
dren's Clothing Crusade"
School Superintendent Skater
ian said that wearable clothing of
all types, in both baby's, children's s
and adult sizes; blankets, sheets,
and other bedding, and pairs of
outgrOwn shoes are needed.
He asked that clothing contri-
buted should be clean and tears or
weak spots mended if possible. The
federation does not ship clothing
requiring repairs to Europe. Most
families there have no spare
pieces of cloth for patches, and no
needles or thread to attach pat
ches or sew up rips. The children
must wear the clothes just as they
get them.
Prompt shipment of needed
clothing is emphasized by the fed
Grafton. The people of the war
ravaged areas of the world have
! but two sources to look for when
help is needed. Communist Rus
sia is most eager TO have countries
turn to her for assistance. The
| demOcracieS of the world must do
their part. 1t is the privilege and
responsibility of Americans to see
that the fruits of democracy are
shared with our less fortunate
neighbOrS.
