Plaster has fallen and the interior and furnishings of thousands of homes that were Inundated will be covered with all maners of filth, The subsiding waters have lett a deposit of silt that will have pene- trated furniture, rugs, •draperies etc. Furniture will fall apart. In many eases everything will be completely ruined. It is to this that people will have to return to start over. Can we possibly picture their dismay and discouragement? It will doubtless seem a well nigh impossible task they have before them. Many of these peole are veterans of the last war and all they have is invested in what is now the wreckage of their homes. It is of ns, the more fortunate people of Canada, that the Flood Relief Commitfee have unashamedly asked help for those who have suf- fered such tremendous loss. The money will go directly to those who need it most for the re-0urnishing of their homes and to help replace the things needed for them to begin again. So far the response of this com- munity to the appeal made in the colums of the paper last week has h'een disappointingly small. Thanks to those who did respond. Special thanks is due to the children of Cranbrook school who have set an example for all to follow, Your contributions made through The Brussels Post will be promptly sent to The London Free Press from where it will be forwarded to Win- nipeg.
