The Wingham Advance-Times, 1945-10-04, Page 8"WHAT CAN YOU SPARE
THAT THEY CAN WEAR",
Keeping warm in Europe is probably
more difficult than securing food. Every
scrap of material, curtains and upholstery is
used to keep bodies warm. With a lack of
adequate clothing, food and shelter, the in-
evitable sickness and disease appears —
striking at warned and children first.
It took relief workers two months to
build up the bodies and calm the minds of
several hundred Dutch waifs who were
rounded up while, foraging in garbage pails,
and sleeping in cellars, Some were orphans,
some were homeless, but all were dressed in
ragged, makeshift clothing.
Yott can ease similar distressing condi-
lions in other waNdevastated countries by
contributing to the National Clothing Col-
lection, all your serviceable used clothing,
shoes and blankets which yott can spare
without replacement.
There is a National Clothing Collection
receiving depot in your neighborhood. See
that your spare apparel is delivered there.

PHIL OSIFER OF
LAZY MEADOWS
By Harry I. Boyle
Patricia Ann has been away for a
whole week now. We miss her. At
firsOit seemed like such a good idea
when her grandparents wanted her to
go and visit them. It would give her
mother a rest from having to keep an
eye on her. •
The first evening it seemed strange
for just the two of us to 'be sitting
across from each other at the table.
We never mentioned it. The house
was strangely silent. I found myself
turning the radio on full blast to sort
of fill the place up with a little noise.
That didn't seem to help very much.
We went to bed real early. . . .tired,
you know. I dozed off to sleep and
woke up to find that Mrs: Phil. was
still awake. She was jiist wondering
if Patricia Ann was all right. . .poss-
ibly, she might become lonesome.
There was nobody toc help me feed
the chickens the next morning. It's
funny how you remember little things
too. I was chuckling about the time
she had the baby chickens out in the
back-yard dunking them in a pail of
water. . . .or bathing them, as she ex-
plained quite gravely.
Even the dog seemed a bit puzzled.
He whined around the back-porch and
seemed disappointed when I brought
his breakfast out to him. I noticed
there were no toys to trip over on the
back stoop and the sand-pile looked
sort of lonesome and neglected.
We went over and visited the neigh-
bours the second night. When we
came back Mrs. Phil stood looking at
the white bed in the small bedroom. I
didn't say anything but I knew what
she was thinking.
It has gone on that way all week.
There are no paper dolls on the couch
Nobody comes clambering .up on my
lap asking for the funnies to be read.
I used to grumble about it, but now it
. . . .well, I wouldn't mind reading
them aloud at all. There just doesn't
seem much point about the pictures in
the paper. I miss that too.
Mrs Phil says the silence in the
house is deafening. She has been
working out in the garden quite a bit.
When we are in the house the talk
seems to veer around to things the
little lady used to do. Yes, we midis
her a whole Iot.
I have to dash now. We're going to
get her tonight. I have a suspicion
that things will brighten up a lot and
we won't mind listening to all the
stories about the wonderful things
grandma and grandpa did' for her.

tion Committee are arranging a pro;

ing talk on that land, which is below

tion.
