Barbara Ann says she understands the severe shortages in clothing and food that the people of Brithin must go through, having been in England short time ago, while on her way to win the world figure skating champâ€" lonship. The British FRlood Relief Campaign gims to secure one article of clothing from every point in Ontario, which should mean about four million garâ€" ments. It is the duty of each person to rummitge through their cloathes closets and find wearable articles that can be spared. Complete suits, coats, trousers, â€" sweaters, dresses, blouses, skirts, headwear socks, blankets and shoes are suggestions for your own private hunt for clothes to help these less fortunate than we in Canada.
