A soldier overeas writes home and says "In every town we go through the condition of people's clothing is pathetic. If the folks at ftome want to do a really good deed, I'd suggest a big drive to gather up all the used clothing possible and rush it over here." That, is why the Canadian Allied United Relied Fund, on behalf of UNHA, has sponsored National Clothing Collection. The pjir^ose of this collection is to secure every available used, but serviceable, ar- ticles of clothing, footwear or bed clothes that can be spared for free distribution to the millions suffering from exiposure in Yugoslavia, Rus- sia, Poland, Norway, The Nether- lands, Greece, Denmark, Czechosla- vakia, Luxemt)ourg,_ France and Bel- gium. In the liberated countries of Europe alone more than 125 million people are in need. Thirty million of these are babies and little child- ren. Remember what the soldier overseas wrote "Lf you want to do a really gopd deed, bundle up all the used clothing possible". Please do it today. Used clothing may be left in the town hall. Flesherton each Wednes- day or Saturday afternoon or even- ing any time from October 1st to 20th. The collecting is being sponsored by the Women's Institute.

The electric meter on duty in your home, is your protection against poying for more than you consume. Evory one of some 800,000 meters in Ontario is tested and certified by a Dom- inion Government inspector at regular intervals to assure complete accuracy. ElMtric meters are among the finest of |.w.llMi precision instruments ... as constantly true as the finest watch. For your protection. Hydro installs a separate meter, exclusively for your own household. Having a meter of your own Is the only possible way to be sure that you only pay for the electriciry which you use.
