Page 10 — Saturday, December 9, 1944 City Drive Starts For Russian Aid With the slogan “Is Rus- Sia on your Christmas list?” the B.C. Branch of the Cana- dian Aid to Russia Fund is again conducting its campaign to gather warm used clothing: for the people of the Soviet Union. The campaign begins this week and will continue through the month of Decem- ber. } Peter Milne, director of the campaign, has anriounced that facilities for receiving parcels of clothing have been arranged at 835 West Pender Street and 369 Hast Hastings Street in Vancouver or at the nearest Vian- couver Fire Hall. : In announcing the campaign the director stressed that the need for clothing in the -USSR is beyond ordinary measurement, as it is estimated that more than thirty million persons will be in des- BHerate need of clothing in the 1berated areas. : The Nazis have literally torn the clothing from the backs of the people and burned their homes to the ground. The Canadian Aid to Russia have set up efficient facilities for receiving the clothing and preparing it for speedy shipment. Ali clothes are -sorted, cleaned, packed and shipeped as quickly as received. They are transport- ed on Soviet steamers leaving directly from the Port of Van- ecuver. Special assistance for those in other centers have been arranged and out-of-town dona- tion weighing 100 pounds and Over are delivered to Wancou- ver free of freight charges by either the railway or steamship companies, The usual warm response of the B.C. public is expected to be shown again this year.
