RENSSELAER IS ASKED TO HELP

EVERY SINGLE FAMILY IN TOWN SHOULD “DIG UP” OLD CLOTHING of thousands of people in the devasted regions of Europe are practically naked. Littles ones are bora into the world without any clothing preparations having been made for them. The people have no clothing, no materials and no money. Haven’t you some old clothing, so worn or shrunken as to be no longer of use to you? Give it to the local chapter of the Red Cross. Whatever you. may give will be sent to the peoples living in the liberated countries, nothing doing in the enemy countries though. The Red Cross 1 (American will deliver, anything that you may give, the International Red Cross, they in turn will deliver it right to the people that need it. Places that the International Red Cross are unable to reach will be reached by some of Mr. Hoover’s food men. GO LOOK! “Dig up” a hag of “odds and ends”, you will make someone’s heart glad. Haven’t you got some old underwear, shoes or shirts round about the house? Now think! Haven’t you got several old skirts up stairs in the spare room closet? Go get ’em, take them to the Red Cross rooms tomorrow afternoon. Now don’t forget it, will you?—Local Chapter of Red Cross.
