Similarly, owners vehicles eligible for a "Special" category, who
can prove their need, will be granted an extra vocational allowance,
fixed in advance for the year ending March 31, 1945. In determining
the extra allowance — which will be measured to individual needs
— the previous category and mileage of the car will not necessarily
be an important consideration. '
The extra vocational coupons will again be issued in books labelled
"Special", and each book will contain not more than 60

HERE is evidence that cannot be
denied . . unsolicited praise for
Red Cross straight from the
hearts of repatriated war prison-
ers, men who have been through
it and know from first hand ex-
perience just what it is all about.
Thousands of their comrades are
still in enemy hands. Help Red
Cross bring each one of them
back with the same wonderful
story to tell, a story of Red Cross
light in the very shadow of death.
Over 39% of the money you give'
is earmarked for prisoners of
war. Give generously that this
amount will swell to meet the
growing need. What we've done
is small to what we've yet to do!
