SAVE OOl) RAGS TO HELP WIN THE WAR Every woman in every home has a hundred opportunities to be a vital cog in the war machine. For in- stance, the Director of Salvage at Ottawa points to rags. They'e des- perately needed for v/ar, for wrap- ping delicately milled parts, for air- plane wipers on airdromes; in army workshops, and aboard Canadian ships. Homes are the greatest source of supply. In appealing for rags, as for other materials, the Salvage Direct- or says, "Do the job carefully and thoroughly so the material can be moved to the 'front line' fast." Save white woollens, colored wool- lens, coatings and suitings, and cottons. Wrap each class in separ- ate parcels, and, please, don't put clean and soiled rags together. Put old carpets ami scrap sacking in separate containers. Pack in cart- ottt or old sacks and get them to your local salvage organization or direct to a dealer in our commun- ity right away.
