At Headquarters, Mrs. Robson was told that a cablegram had just been reâ€" | ceéived, which told of the bombing of one of our warehouses in England.

The workers of the Schumacher Branch can feel justly proud of their work, since only one complaint has been reâ€" ceived (concerning knots in socks) and that was 14 months ago.

"Distribution of Socks and Comforts Some dissatisfection has been °exâ€" pressed in Northern Ontario, that some soldiers on active service from this district, have not received any supplies from the Red Cross. Conseâ€" quently, some of them have been buyâ€" ing from other soldiers who were more fortunate in having extra socks, etc. There should be no need to deny the ancient, malicious lie that the Red Cross is selling supplies. There is no doubt that some articles are sold, but it is done by the soldiers themselves and not by the Red Cross. Furtherâ€" more, there is absolutely no need of this condition arising if the men and their commanding officers will follow. the simple regulations for obtaining Red Cross supplies.

They must be loosely cast on, measure 6 inches when stretched double, with no knots, ridges or lumps in either heel or toe, and should preâ€" ferably be on the large side. If a branch sends sock® to Toronto with any of these faults, they must be unâ€" ravelled and reâ€"knit by a repair comâ€" mittee. It is obvious that if the socks are properly knit in the first place. the worker‘s contribution to the war effort is much more valuable. ***44%* 50¢ for 5 pounds Takes all Washing and heavy Ironing off Â¥vour hands.
