Layette “Lending Libraries” And Paper Clothes!
Layette “lending libraries” in Hungary and the regular use of paper infants’ garments in Finland are striking examples of continued critical shortages abroad and of Red Cross ingenuity in overcoming them. The Hungarian Red Cross, in an effort to meet needs in that country and stretch availably supplies, lends its layettes for an eight to twelvemonth period upon presentation of the baby’s birth certificate and following investigation of the family need. The parents must accept responsibility for returning them at the end of the loan period—“washed and clean” to the Red Cross chapter from which they were borrowed. The Finnish Red Sross is distributing paper layettes towels, sheets, diapers' and shirts—to new parents in that country unable to obtain the regular cloth product. Special types of paper, some so tough they may be washed two or three times, are Used.
