HOW WOULD YOU FEEL Zf this were your
child... and you had to say: “Sorry,
darling, there just isn't anything???

YET many a mother — and
father — is faced today with
justsuchatragicfact. Through-
out Europe and Asia children
are literally starving — cold
and miserable because they
have no warm clothing,

Millions of them are in des-
‘ perate need — for food, clothing, shelter,
education. We in Canada are going to do
our share to help meet those urgent needs
The Canadian Appeal for Children, now
being conducted, hasa minimum objective
of $10,000,000 as Canada’s contribution
to the saving of the world’s children and
the world’s furure.

YOU CAN HELP by doing just this:

Go io any Branch of THE ROYAL BANK OF CA NADA
— or any other chartered bank. Hand your contri-
bution to the teller. He is ready to accept it, and wil}
turn the money over to the Canadian Appeal for Chil-
dren. Every cent collected will be distributed, where
need is greatest, under the strict supervision of respon-
sible United Nations’ operating agencies.

How much you give is a question for your own
conscience. Act TODAY; you will sleep better tonight

knowing you have done your part for these millions of
little ones who look to you for help.
