ONE SHIRT FOR SEVEN
One usable shirt in a family of seven. This is typical in Belgium, according to an official report received this week from the headquarters of UNRRA. The shirt referred to, the Belgian report says, is shared by father and mother, boys and girls in turn. The one in possession can leave the home in which they live—a home more than halfwrecked by the Germans. One hundred and twenty-five million persons in the war-devastated countries of Europe are similarly situated, and the northern winter is approaching. Hence the Do-minion-wide clothing collection now in progress. New Zealanders are asked to send their contributions to local collection depots.
