What a surprise for the "toys! Send In Your Clothes I For Europe's Destitute " The lot of the children of Hol- land, once the best cared for in Eu- roipe, is appalling,'' writes an on-the- scene war correspondent. "Their lack o£ clothing is tragic and now only the lucky ones possess the tra- ditonal wooden shoes. The others, dmring the winter, bundled their feet in old rags or waste. In other war-ravaged nations, a majority are no better o£f as regards foot gear. That is why contributions of serviceable used shoes to the Na- tional Clothing Collection for over- seas relief is so im<portant. Only the duraible type of shoes, with low or medium heels, are de- sired. Every pair should be mated and firmly tied' together, when de- livered to the collector or left at the receiving de2>ot. Canada is the one current source of such supplies, not only for the Greeks but for the peoples of other war-devastated countries. Contri- butions of such materials from among the dicarded things in Can- adian homes now are being assemb- ledi by the National Clothing Collec- tion, to meet these desparate needs. All Canadians should contribute their used, but still serviceable, ap- parel and blankets if they can do so without need of replacement. < Mr. Fred Chislett of Ceylon re- i^eived the glad news on Monday, that his son, Claude, had arrived Jrom overseas and shortly after re- ceiving the message, motored to Fergus to meet his son.

Pigs Took 4 Days Arriving ~ (Mr. John Meads of the O.D.R. had a strange increase in his porker pop- ulation recently that is something for the books.

Mr. Meads was indeed surprised, but is pleased to report that most of the family are alive and squealing. Late Raspberries Two, different branches of tame raspberries have been presented to The Advance recently, first by Mr. Emersion Wickens, north of town and on Monday by Mr. Roy Fenwick of Maxwell. The berries were quite nuanerous and we can vouch that they were of good quality. Many Attend Youth Rally The Town Hiall was comfortably filled Friday night when an inter- denomination youth rally was held there. The ministers of the various churches in the surrounding districts occupied the platform.

The job will not be finished at the year's end. Food scarcities in Europe will continue until the next harvest. • • • This year, Europe is relying on Canada for a minimum of 789 million pounds of beef, pork and canned meat. Up to the end of August, only 479 million pounds had been sent. How soon can we bridge the gap? Livestock marketings are normally at their heaviest in the last four months of the year. If we are to help feed the hungry peoples of de- vastated Europe, this is the time to make our greatest effort. • • • To do our part, we must reduce our own consump- tion of meat and also assure that everyone in Canada gats a fair share.
