Reports. received at National Headquarters oi the campaign in- dicate that in every community men, women and children are en- thusiastically co-olperating, through Service Clubs, We iare, Church. La- bor, Youth and other organizations. to ensure that their quote will be attained during the three weeks oi the campaign, irom October 1 to October 20. Main depots have been establimed at central points where the goods will be baled and it is hoped that by early Novem- ber they will be on the way to the UNRRA distribution points in Europe, and be in the hands oi the recipients before Christmas.

0n the success oi the campaign will depend the lives of hundreds oi thousands ca’ people, particular- ly women and children. Without clothing they cannot battle against the disease which followed in the wake oi the devastation wrought in their countries by the invaders.

His Excellency the Govemor- General, the Earl of Athlone lS patron oi the national effort. As vice patrons are, the Lieutena v.- Governors o!’ all the provinces a d the leading dignitaries of the churches of all denominations. On the Honorary Committee are exe- cutives in industry and commerce, and prominent men and women in the professions. 'I'lie National Ad- visory Committee la composed oi representatives of every kind o! Weliare, Service and Community organization across the Dominion, all oi’ whom have united under the banner oi the National Clothing Collection in order to gather this minimum oi’ ten million pounds oi used clothing as quickl as possible.

More than 125,000,080 people in the liberated countries of Europe are in dire need. More than 30.- 000000 oi these are children. is not possible to manuiacture new clothing in time-even were the materials and iunds available. But the recipients will be satisfied to make do with the sensible, sturdy clothes that the imJoi-ity oi Can- adians wear. and which have been set aside for various reasons.

The Canadian people are asked to contribute only such serviceable clothing as can be spared irom their wardrobes without replace- ment. Men's. women's and child- ren's suits. odd coats, trousers. sweaters. (vercoats, jackets oi’ all sizes, women's dresses, skirts, blou- ses and aprons. scarves, shawls. blankets. stockings socks, and any other article oi cothlng that can be used.

Such clothing need not be in perfect repair, it should be clean and sanitary. All types of WBSU- able garments should be washed beiore being given to the collec- tion, but they need not be ironed.

Footwear is urgently needed in most oi the countries. but must be firmly fastened in’ pairs. Dur- ing the drive in the United States at the beginning o! this year, many pieces oi iootwear were sent in loose. and despite every effort to match them up. nearly 100.000 remained unmatched and there- iore could not be sent. Boots aNl shoes must be iirmly tied together in pairs, otherwise they are oi little value.

City Chairmen

“Early returns, reported from the Clothing nepot Receiving Centre, City Building, indicate a widespread interest by the citizens of Charlottetown in the National Clothing drive now on,” stated Mr. Gerald E. Proctor, Chairman of the local committee.

“The splendid project to obtain serviceable used clothing for the destitute people of war torn Europe is receiving ccommendation from all quarters and we are happy to report that in this, as in every worthy cause, our people are responding wholeheartedly.”

Mr. Proctor stressed the necessity for citizens taking their donations personally to the Depot ll at all possible. The transport available is limited and the demand iorcollections is great.

Where collections are missed donors are re- quested to call 53 and ak for “Clothing Collection.” An effort will be made to conclude the canvas “clean- up" week commencing next Monday.
