For six years we have bent
■our efforts towards destruction,
has been a grim and bitter job,
but the defeat of the enemies of
civilization has been ample reward.
Now we are being given an oppor
tunity to work toward reconstruc
tion. The National Clothing Col
lection offers to each of us the
chance to give direct aid to the
scores of millions left destitute by
war. Destruction on a mass scale
is sensational and awe-inspiring;
donating old clothes is prosaic in
comparison. Yet it symbolizes the
quiet determined effort of men ol
goodwill everywhere to bring peace
and healing where there has been
only pain and suffering.
There is no question as to the
success of the National Clothing
Collection. Every Canadian will
respond to the urgent demaud, for
in that response will be measured
the extent of our common human
ity. The war has taught a lesson
which should ;hav.fe burned itself
into ’•the ''lnindA^dT^a'lF 'df'- U§’r That
we can no longer escape from the
responsibilities imposed upon us by
a shrinking globe. In Europe and
