CITY INTERESTED IN
SENDING CLOTHING
FOR BELGIAN RELIEF
Garrets and Trunks Being
Ransacked for Cast-off
Garments.
Widespread interest is being
shown in the plan proposed by the
Commission for the Relief of Bel-
gium and forstered locally by the
San Antonio Chapter American Red
Cross of collecting sccond-han<l
clothing to be sent t- the needy Bel-
gians. Monday has been set aside as
collection day. In the meantime
everyone is asked t<» ransack garrets
and trunks for vast-off clothing of
1 all kinds.
j “I did not think I had anything to
give away" said a woman Thursday
but the appeal w i *<• urgent that
I determined 1 would look. I found
any number of things and I am sure
everyone can do the same. If the
! very minute they finish reading
about the work of Jie commission
in Belgium and the n^ed for second-
hand clothing they go straight to
looking in trunks nd closets they
nave no idea how many things they
will find. ’»f course if they do not
look they will not find things but
what I urge them to do is to look."
Curtis Hill who is representing
the commission in S.m Antonio and
conducting the dri\< foi (lothing.
has received many inouiries about
the work some of these coming from

may be collected. A still greater re-
sponse is needed however.

tion plan for Monday will be made
Sunday in all < f the* churches and
all the Sunday schools The Boy
Scouts will help w itn the collection.
