SALVAGINO WORN SOCKS

Sin-Replying to a letter from "An Interested Knitter" which ap- peared in Monday's paper, I would like to say that the matter of sal- vaging worn socks has been gone into both here and in the other provinces of Canada. The chairmen of the Red Cross work committees have contacted ilze officers com- manding the different sections of the armed forces and asked them to turn any worn hand-knitted socks in to the Red Cross for re- footing or to be used in making afghans or blankets. Most of the socks made by the Red Cross are shipped overseas for the troops and undoubtedly the worn socks are made use of as nothing ls wasted in England.
