ton Red Cross will be held next Mon-
day, June 5th. Try to be In your
place, we are all busy too, and your
presence' is so encouraging to your,
President Could you not enlist an-
other to duplicate the work you are
doing? Thes is such a serious time
for our men and our country,we need
the united -efforts of our women
workers:
Most Prisoners of War say "Into
that small world, behind barbed wire,
come the Red Cross Parcels of food
to feed a hunger, both of mind—and
body. Like a godsend is this bright,
new taste of nourishing food from
the world outside, and an indestruct-
ible link, with Home."
This is such an important work—
help keep those parcels: going over.
Have you; been sewing this week?
There is so
much to done.
The
need for Turtle Neck sweaters is
great on the cold, cruel waters, even
though we are finding it a bit warm
here at hone. The wool isn't so plea-
sant on the hands either, but neither
is the pull of the oars in a Life boat.
Come in and see our sewing and
knitting convenors, and see if there
isn't something you should be doing.
The response to the appeal for Jam
for the Blood Clinle was excellent,
and our sincere thanks is extended
to all who shared their supply.
Our Nursing Emergency Reserve
is gaining favor, and• classes in prac-
tical work are being carried on week-
ly.

Wanted Waste Paper
In thousands of store rooms, file
rooms• and basements of Canadian
business establishments are count-
less tons of vita! war material
waste paper and paperboard. Some of
these files date back 50 to even 100
years and are kept more for septi.
mental .than any other reasons. Now,
this material has, gone to 'war and it
is needed.
That's why the federal government
has taken the lead in cleaning out
some old files and from the Parlia-
anent Buildings here more than 36
carloads, each averaging 50 -or -more
tons of material, have been collected.,
Today, National War Minister L.
lt. LaFieche •appealed, to •business
concerns in all parts of the country
to follow Ottawa's lead. "I realize
many businessmen will .be reluctant
to discard this material for fear of
their business might become known
to their competitors, But I can as-
sure them such will be the ease. Dis-
carded files or ledgers will be re-
garded as strictly confidential and:
will be used soltiy for thepurpose of
providing vital material in the manu-
facture of containers for war use,"
he said.
Service clubs in various parts of
Canada have already started their
own drives to obtain this material
and Gen. LaFleehe urged others to
flow suit. "I can think ef no more
mportant work a service club can do
this time than to appeal to its
usinessmen. members' : to elean out:
d files," he declared. "With the
approach of D-day,'. we will - need
paper containers to he thrown. over-
board for landing .operations; to.
carry medical kits, blend .: plasma,
emergency rations; gas masks. 'We
need paper parachutes to carry food
and supplies to isolated men; con -
Mainers to make package liners for
such solvent ,vapors ae naphtha and
benzine."
"A ,high percentage of ;`waste'
paper and paperboard is used in the
produetion of new material," he
went on. "You can't make new paper
without old, any more than you can
make steel without a certain per-
centage of scrap, iron."
In the high priority elms right
now, said Charles La'Ferle, national
director of the campaign, are wrapp.
ing paper, store.. bags, cardboards,.
cartons, corrugated board, old maga-
zines and books, envelopes and let
ters and newspaper. "These repre-
sent the raw material for •making the
;stall; needed• paper.containers."
