Salvation
Army Appeal
Calls upon the Salvation Army for
help in the solution of soldier rehab-
ilitation problems have increased
steadily since the end of the war in
Europe and are still growing, accord-
ing to Lieut: Calonei: William Dray,
Toronto, head of the Salvation Army
Rehabilitation Department.
The Department helps solve the
Problems' of veterans and of veter-
ans' family groups. To carry on this
work and: also the work of nearly 50
other social service and welfare ac-
tivities, the Salvation Army's Nation-
al Home Front Appeal for $1,500,000
starts in September.
"We have now in Canada seven key
rehabilitation centres and in them
life never has a dull moment with all
the problems, many of them urgent,
that come to us," said Colonel Dray.
"We started our work of helping in
the assimilation of war brides by
establishing in England Canadian
Wives' Clubs where lectures and
demonstrations on life in Canada are
given.
"Nearly 40,000 war wives and :_-
most as many children are being
brought to Canada in the movement
now under way. Large numbers of
these new families have nothing like
a comfortable home to look forward
to, so not alt the comings to this new
land are happy. New in-Iaws are not
tevariably well-disposed. The Salva-
tion Army across Canada is daily
grappling with the problems present-
ed by those new famllibs,

RED CROSS
NOTES
The Red Cross work rooms will re-
open Friday, and the weekly work
will continue as it did before the July
and August holidays. There is plenty
of wool on hand for knitting.
The following quotations from ad-
dresses and reports given at, a recent
executive meeting of the Ontario
Division of- the Red Cross in Toron-
to, will convince all of the urgent
need of British civilian clothing and•
knitted goods.
Mrs. Lane Knight. chairman of Wo-
men's War Work in Ontario, declar-
ed • "American help is going largely
to the liberated countries; Britain is.
going to look to Canada for clothing,
anti this will be tile job of the Cana-
dian Red Cross."
Mrs. .Arthur Ellis, who went to Eng-
land as representative of Ontario Di-
vision to look into postwar work of,
British Red Cross and other organiza-
tions, said: "The people of Britain
are going to continue to need cloth-
ing. •The British serviceman receives
an exceptionally small pension and
the widow of a British serviceman
receives a pension which might pre -
vide for her the simplest of food, but
how a roof and clothing might alio.
be provided frotn such an income, it
would be impossible to state."
At the present time Mrs. Ellis found
that buying power of the pound,
which cost $4.40, was about eight
shillings.
Need to provide clothing, and es-
pecially clothing for children, leas
t eat, blankets and quilts being est
