Do You Know? THAT back in 19390 after war broke out, a group of I. O. D, E. members gathered a few books to give to the men in camps, on troopâ€" ships or in our then tiny navy? Since then, in response to requests irom the Government, from the Commanding Officers, and from the men and women in all branches of the services ,this voluntary war work has grown to the proportions of a big business firm. Since the outbreak of war the L.O.D.E. has sent out more than one million bookst. THAT to meet the everâ€"growing need, the 1.O.D.E. is now making its first public appea: across Canâ€" ada for funds to buy books? Grimaby is asked to do its share. Let us be generous, Let us make sure no soldier is lonely for want of something to read. Send your donation to the treasurer, Mrs. Brock Snyder, or to the convener, Mrs, Andrew Stevenson. THAT every cent contributed goes toward buying books â€" there are no administration costs, for all L.O.D.E. work is voluntary ? THAT the heavy work of sortâ€" ing, packing, and shipping is done by members of the order? THAT the National Convener and her committee handle from 8,â€" 000 to 17,000 books a month ? Let us keep up the supply to meet the increased demands. GIVE GENEROUSLY.
