LETTERS FROM ENGLAND
EXPRESS THANKS FOR GARMENTS
Washington, I), c. '"Dear America'
I hank you (or the tit*ntiel dress It Is
so warm and the days are getting
colder. I*aat night when I was fa the
air raid shelter hero 1 saw four girls
who had received dresses froiu
Ahiui h-a. We think they ure very
pretty".
It was a typical letter among the
thousands reaching the Red Cross
here. Great Britain has been thankful
for what American women have done.
But the letters are not all from children.
In the same mail with letter
written In the ecruwl of a fourthgrader
coiuo neatly penned letters
from mothers and from wounded
Tommies being nursed hack to health.
Matrons of hospitals, working night
and day with the growing ranks of
wounded soldiers and civilians are
finding time to express their thanks
for. thousands of convalescent robes
und hospital shirts.
One mother wrote: "We have been
hero for three weeks now. I am so
happy to be with my children. We
left Jx>ndon In a crowded bus' and
could carry so little with us. The
dresses for 1119 two girls and the
corduroy suit for njy boy came at a
time when 1 was frantically trying to
get them something warm."
And there was a note from a convalescent
soldier: "When I was well
enough to be up and around, they Rave
mo a 4heavy robe. It has / been a
Godsend for the early autumn days
are chilly. When I saw tho label
"American Red Cross" sewed to the
neck of the robe, It gave me faith that
there la still some good In the world.
Soon I will be hack In active service
and I am going to give this robe to the
matron so one of my buddies can wear
it like I have...."
American Red Cross volunteers,
numbering some f>00,000 women
throughout the United States, have
made more than 600,000 dresses,
hoys' suits, robes, layettes and other
articles of clothing for Great Britain's
war victims. In addition, hundreds of
thousands of garments have gone to
rwar victims in other European
nations.
Clothing shortages in Great Britain
are due to three causes, the Red Cross
said, losses in the bombed areas
have been alarmlngly( high. Wa:
Industries have been given precedence
over clothing production. These two
factors coupled with certain inadequacies
of heating facilities for tne
coming winter months will heigh 1 en
this need for larger shipments.
In addition to shipments of clothing
to Britain, chapter-produced surgical
dressings from this country -have
pSssed the 7,000,000 mark. Dressings
are being made according to specifications
set down by British medical
authorities.
Curing And Canning
Meats Discussed
Clemson, Nov. 4.?Two Clemaon
College extension publications of
special value to farm people at this
season in promoting better farm family
living are Bulletin 77, "Pork for
Carolina Farmers" and Bulletin 04,
"Canning Meats on the Farm", says A.
IB. Bryan, agricultural editor.
Those publications' are of course
free for the asking and may bo obtalnI
ed from county agents or from the
! Publications Department at Clemson.
"Pork for Carolina Farmers" giveR
i the practical details of "slaughtering
hogs on the farm for the purpose of
supplying the pork and lard needed
there and cutting and trimming each
I piece of meat so that it may he used
with the greatest, economy and sat sfaction",
In this way a supply of
meat of good quality may be provide*}
and this will give the farm family a
feeling of satisfaction and wellbelng.
"Canning Meats on the Farm ' is
an instruction book giving briefly and
simply the details of slaughtering, cutting
up the carcass, equipment needed
for canning, and the various methods
and processes of canning. The bulletin
also discusses the advantages of
canning, the meat requirements for a
family of five, and the kind of meat
animals to slaughter.
It Is prdeicted that as soon as smaller
brakes are developed by the automotive
industry, automobiles will have
smaller tires with flatter and wider
treads.

water but had nothing to drink the
laat eight days at sea.
They subsisted mainly on seaweed
but also managed to- catoh one flying
fish and one gar. which they ate raw.
The 6,596-ton freighter was sighted
by the raider on August 21.
Tho two survivors were found yesterday
trying to crawl up the beach
toward trees on nearby Mleuthrea
