THEY CAN STILL WEAR
WHAT YOU. CAN SPARE
That's Ontario's New Slogan For The
National Clothing Collection
The National Clothing Collection is
sponsored by the* Canadian Allied Re-
lief Fund at the request of the Dom-
inion Government which is acting on
the plea of International Relief Ag-
encies.
Unless Canadians and other of the
world's more fortunate populations
answer this appeal, 130 million hum-
ans, including' 25 million children,
face death from exposure and sickness
next winter in Europe and Asia.
The second National Clothing Col-
lection has been moved ahead from
October to June so that the apparel
and bedding will arrive overseas and
be distributed 'before next winter. Art-
icles. collected will be distributed to
the needy in very country where Can-
adian soldiers fought which include
Belgium, France, Luxembourg, China,
Czechslovakia, Greeoe, the Nether-
lands, Norway, Poland and Yugoslav-
ia. The National Clothing Collection
is scheduled from June 17th to 29th.,
inclusive, Householders and firms are
asked to securely bundle—but not sort
their contributions,
All kinds of used, serviceable appar-
el and bedding are required, These in-
clude suits, overcoats, uniforms, work
clothes for men and boys, infants' and
children's clothes, of all types, coats,
dresses, aprons, smocks for girls and
women, shoes in pairs, (tied securely
with string or laces), caps, felt hats,
knitted headwear, gloves, woollen
socks, underclothing, piece goods,
blankets, sheets and linens, draperies
and remnants.
All washable garments and goods
should be washed but they need not be
ironed, Other garments need not be
dry cleaned. Clothes without buttons
are acceptable as supplies are now
moving into lands where the clothing
will be worn. Items which cannot be
baled-such as straw hats, feather beds,
pillows and mattresses-should NOT be
given.
Navy, Army and Air Force uniforms
may be given if all buttons are re-
moved.
Donors are asked to remove all mat-
ches front the pockets of trousers and
other apparel before the articles are
bundled up, Strict observance of this
request will eliminate the possibility
of serious damage in sorting and ship-
ping.
Letters of good cheer may be attach-
ed to contributions if the donors wish
to send a message With their gifts. It
is the belief of the Canadian Allied
Relief Fund that this presents an op-
portunity for Canadians to Write to
their Allies as an expression of good-
will and a desire to further peace in
the World on a basis of International
friendship among individuals,
In the event that householders are
leaving town for holidays or business
firms find that their bundles are be-
coining too large to keep on the prem-
ises, they may deliver their donations
to ;he nearest depot, or if this is in-
convenient, a telephone call to any
Lion for pick-up.
The Wingham Lions Club have set
up their committee under the leader-
ship of W. R. Hamilton to take charge
of the National Clothing Collection
Campaign in Wingham and district,
June 17th„ to 29th,
The evenings of June 24th., and the
27th„ are set aside for the collection
in town, and all citizens are asked to
put their donations on the boulevard
for the collection, or telephone any
Lion for pick-up.
Rural residents are invited to bring
their contributions to Wingham and
leave at any of the three depots, Hy-
dro Shop, Carmichael's Grocery, or J.
Reavie's Servic' Station,
