" . severed . The' Kinettes thought that such a project was worth while' and began to follow it up. The first step was to secure adequate ac- commodation for the clothing room. Here the Kinettes ran into problems because they didn't have any money to pay • for a room, All suggestions of plapes were immediately • checked out .by the Club with the conversations endi abruptly when the subjec money arose. • In February 1975 the lub followed up a suggestio to use the. old St. Josep 's convent on North Street which was now vacant. This building had a room with no heat, ,poor wiring and no ,washroom facilities but it was 'the right size, 'situated fairly centrally and best of all it was free. In April 1975 the clothing room opened for business in the old convent room with all advertising done through the Children's Aid and by word of • mouth. The Kinsmen had built shelving for the main room out of materials sup-. plied by the Children's Aid. The clothing room was open. of Meanwhile letters had been sent out from the Club to all organizations and churches outlining briefly the purpose of the clothing room and also .that donations of clothes, toys, shoes, books and se.on, would be greatly appreciated. Various churches, after receiving the letter from the Kinette Club, published it in* their Sunday calendars. The response for both donations and clients was over- whelming. On two occasions the clothing room was opened up at odd hours by Kinettes for victims whose homes had been burned, with boxes, or &ling- and vvarm clothing being made up for these,.:, people..On another titbdsion nursery school teacher called the Club to see if they had any small ski-doo suits as one child was coming to school in a light weight jacket in the middle of winter. When special requests are made for certain items that the clothing room does not •have, a note is made and when the items are found, the client is called.

During the harsh winter of 1976-77 • the clothing room stayed open despite heating problems because of the increasing. number of people who had come to rely on the room for their basic needs. - The Kinettes felt that the gratitude shown by these people was compensation enough for heating problems and other hardships endured. Clothing room co-ordinator Karen Fry says, "It is amazing the number of people who use this room in this land of plenty." She says the ones who really need the clothing are not greedy and they are always appreciative. "We have people come in with brand new babies with, only the clothes on its back," she says. Most people who -use , the room are 'clients of the Children's Aid Society but it is also open to the needy public free of charge. The room needs baby clothes and articles and toys with the corning of Christ- mas: The Kinettes would even appreciate donations of booKs and .magazines. Frieda Thompson„clothing room co- ordinator tells the story of one woman who asked if she could have a few magazines. Even though she couldn't read, she told Mrs. Thompson, she liked to look at the pictures. In February 1977 with several club members suf- fering from colds, flu and complete frustration, the Knights of Columbus cme to the rescue with a room in the other half of the old convent. This room was heated, had good wiring, washrooms and easy accessibility to the public. The old clothing room was closed for two weeks while the new room was prepared. It opened in March 1977 and the Kinettes are thankful to the Knights of Columbus for their generosity.. Without this room they would have no place to go and might be forced to terminate a vital community service. The Kinettes, with good reason, are very proud of their clothing room. Former clothing room co-ordinator Marlene MacDougall says, "I" think the clothing room has taught each Kinette a little humanity, compassion and contentment with what we have, as so many others have so much less."
