We give an extract from a letter
received by a Red Cross worker In
Toronto from an officer in England
in charge of a hostel for the care of
600 children evacuated from Gibral-
tar: "I must tell you that the clothes
we get for the children, sent by the
Canadian Red Cross. are simply mar-
velous --lovely and warns and just
what the children need. The jerseys
and the little girls' flannel dresses
are really lovely, they are such pret-
ty colours
ret-ty-colours and so well made. Do tell
any of your friends who are working
for the Red Cross how welcome their
help is. and with winter corning on
we can't have too many warm undies
and things, both for the refugee
children and our own bombed child-
ren who lose every single thing
they've got when their homes are
blown up. I can't tell you what a joy
it is to be able to 8t them out prop-
erly. It is always a thrill for us when
we get a new batch of clothing and
I only wish some of the people who
have made the things could see how
appreciated they are.
