EUROPE'S NEEDS
WOOL FOR HOME-SPINNING The desperate need of warm cloth' ing in European countries has prompted UNRRA to ask Corso whether its member organisations such as Red Cross W.D.F.U. AVomen's •} « Institutes * and others J could donate 101b packets of unwashed, skirted woo 1 , (but not dead wool) and fleeces for sending to Europe to distribute to familie;, for home-spinning into warm clothes. The present acute shortage of clothing will be accentuated by tbe onset of tbe northern winter in n few months. An appeal was also received from relief workers in where it is stated that people ask for clothing before food. Realising that New Zealanders will want to respond to this appeal either 'immediately if or later when the wool season commences the Red Cross Society's depots throughout New Zealand have Mildly agreed to take the. donations of wool required to help meet this appeal from suffering Europe. Fleeces could be sent to the Red Cross depots in sacks or in bales, if that quantity has been freed to give; while 101b packets; should be wrapped in paper with an inner lining of grease-proof paper.
