Are you remembering to buy Brit
isli? Look at the labels on the art -
ides you buy, This is one way you
can help smash Hitler,
We have had inquiries from moth-
ers of Canadian soldiers in England
asking how our supplies—socks and
other comforts—are distributed to the
glen of our forces. This is how it is
done. Whenthe men need woollen
comforts or other articles, their Com-
manding Officer is informed, and it
is lie who requests the Canadian Red
Cross for supplies. The Canadian
Red Grose itself does not distribute
these supplies to the individual sol-
dier. That is the job of the officer
designated by the 'Commanding Of-
ficer. Any Canadian soldier who needs
socks has only to make his need
known to his superior officer, and the
Canadian Reel Cross acts immediately.
You can see, theeefote, that many of
our Canadian troops receive socks
which are not labelled with the Red
Cross insignia. They cannot be label-
led because it would interfere with
the stretching and comfort of the
socks.
I have here some letters from
commanding officers neknowldging
the supplies give them for their Hien.
by tine Canadian Red Cross. Here's
one that's typical. It is from the
officer of a famous Canadian unit
now in'England. He says, "I wish
to thank the Canadian Red Cross
most sincerely for the articles sup-
plied to the hospital, and also the
comforts for the men, all of which
reached us in good order." End quote.
And here is one from the Officer
Commanding a Canadian Base Depot
of Medical Stores. It reads, "Your
prompt riesponse to my request for
the Red Cross comforts is very much
appreciated. These articles, includ-
ing sweaters, pyjamas, socks, mittens
Scarves, wristlets and Balaclava hel-
mets, are most useful and most ac-
ceptable, and 'they .have been issued.
The' personnel of this unit join me
in thanking the Canadian Red Cross
most sincerely." i I i ..,:,
