Biggest Drive of All—

Clothe-A-Child Gets an Assist From RCA Plant

By ART WRIGHT The Pegest drive of all time in behalf of The Times Clothe-A-Child and the needy children it serves is on at the | local RCA Victor division plant. Local Union 1048 I. B. E. W, (AFL), employees of the}

$26? The difference 1s that the RCA workers spent wisely. They clothed each child adequately and completely with all the , warm clothes they needed. Made it possible for some of them to go back to the schools from which. they had been absent because they didn’t have] ‘the clothes to wear. The day after the RCA workers took the Clothe-A-Child youngsters to the storé last year, they started to get ready for 1951. They were furnished with Clothe-A-Child membership cards by their shop stewards. Then for the entire year they paid into the fund every week . nickel, a dime or a quarter. From!
