Zurich Herald, 1942-01-22, Page 4!?A FOtr HIPIALD THESE MATERIALS ARE VITAL TO WAR INDUSTRY METALSro7,R4oN ANDTSTUL) RAGS PAPER FATS AND BONES ALL war industries need rags ... handfuls of rags ... pounds of rags ... tons of rags. And you can help supply them. Without rag wipers to clean the cutting lubricant from planes, millers, drills, lathes, Canadian war workers would be inefficient, their output reduced, their efforts hampered. Without rags, explosive plants would slow up, aeroplane factories would find their production cut, and wheels of shell factories would dawdle. • Start an old-fashioned rag bag in your house today. All kinds of old, worn-out, too small and other• wise useless garments are badly needed by war industries—everything from cotton underwear to old shirts and ties—from Grandpa's red flannels to Grandson's seatless corduroy pants. These are real sinews of war which you can supply. Every rag in your home should go to war industries through your Salvage Committee. Clean out and clean up on Hitler!
