He stated that the quality of all the gar- ments was outstandingi-but he went on to say that clothing and knitted comforts will be needed in ever in- creasing quantitiels as the months progress. We have been asked for the same•fall quota es last year, 250, 000 articles of civilian clothing with the added request for as much more as possible.' Therefore whether we fail- or succeed to meet this call rests en- tirely with our workers. s. The Dras- tic Falling Off of shipments to the Warehouse is a matter of the gravest concern. Unless there is a tre rend- ous improvement in the next few months, we will fail •completely to meet our quota requirements. We think the seriousness of thie situation cannot be to emphatically stressed. Our women must be made to see the vital necessity for an all out effort, if we are to play our part in this war, which grows with each passing hour. LET US SEW — NNIT — SHIP • Summerhill.
