national clothing campaign that is being staged across canada during october and for which it is expected that every village town and township will or ganize the reeve of stouffville was named as chairman and it was decided to make a canvass of the whole community on a date to be named between october 1 and 20 the lions club have offered to make the doortodoor call and the baptist united and christian churches will provide depots for the goods brought in also the municipal hall womens organization m each church will be expected to do the sorting and packing of the goods left at their respective places while the war branch will look after the goods left at the municipal hall by this means none of the stations should be taxed too heavily other church basements are available but it is felt that four depots will be sufficient millions of people in europe will surely freeze this winter unless canada comes to the rescue and with- this knowledge the national clothing drive is backed by our government it is felt that every home in canada can donate some thing from a scarf to a used pair of shoes the needy 30000000 of them hsve not had a new dud m five years and will welcome any thing inthelme of covering blan kets and other bed clothing too are acceptable whou there that can not dig up something from the attic or clothes closet if every home in stouffville gives something the depots will have about 400 parcels to handle not a burdensome job but then some may contribute half a dozen parcels the goal of national clothing col- jectiohis to obtain a substantial volume of f serviceable used clothes hatj canadians can spare without replacement with millions of pounds of clothing forgotten or un used iby jus placed at the disposal of the commitiee the goal can be leached
