Red Cross Will Make Effort tJ
Collect Large Amount in Eu-1
gene and Lane County Dur
ing Week.

That the greatest campaign yet staged
tot the collection of ued and surplus
clothing will be held in Kugeue and
Ljne county during all of next week,
vhen an effort will be mude to get to
gether five tons of men material from
thii county, waa announced at the Rod
Cross headquarters tbis afternoon. Next
ireek Bed Croaa chapters in every
county in the luited States will en
deavor to fill their quotas, which are
to be the answer to Herbert Hoover's
ppeal to furnish clothing for the 10,
UOO.000 imprisoned people iu occupied
Belgium and France.
"Last year we got together over 1,110
pounds of wearing apparel, and it is
obvious that a great deal more effort
must be expended this year If we are
lo do our share," an official explained
tbis afternoon. "At the present time
ire h merely thst the people will get
wbat old clothes they have together and
have them ready for us when we have
decided how they will be taken care of."
Clothing Must Be Clean.
Most any kind of clothing will do. It
Is said, but particular emphasis is laid
upon the fact that it must be clean.
"Since these people are now forcel
to wear such articles as burlap and
flour sacks, it is plain that the time
bat rome when we can well give most
my kiod of materkil. Of course it is
best that the clothing be ns strong as
possible, but about the only thing on
which we Insist Is that it be clean. We
;annnt insult those people by sending
Aem dirty clothes."
Contributors are assured that they
ire not supposed to alter or mend their
offerings in any way. It is urged that
they refrain from doing this, as their
time can be put to murh better use.
Stronger Effort Urged-
In his letter to the Ited Cross, Mr.
Hoover says: "The ten million people
a these occupied countries are facing
name, suffering, d'sease nnd some of
them death for, lack of clothing this
winter. They must be helped. I hope
that the Ked Cross will undertake a
renewed campaign to obtain this cloth
ing in America. It can come only from
as. Your first campaign yielded mag
nificent results, bringing in fully 5,000
tons of clothing in good condition. But
much more is needed If these war-rav-ged
people nre to get. through thewin
ter to. decency and safety. In the face
af brutal coercion and spiritual suffer
ing they remain splendidly courageo'is.
This courage challenges our charity.
Let ns match the oournpe of llelgium by
the generosity of America."
Persons' nre cautioned not to bring
ipparel to the headquarters, as it can
lot be kept iu the same room with the
rorgical dressings.

In time of war patriotism is measured by sacriiice.
The man at the front gives up all - often life itself.
We at home are only asked to hold tenaciously to our
"will to win".
Without our assistance the brave lad in France fights and
dies in vain; a burnt and bleeding sacrifice for naught.
Yet he is fighting to preserve your cause and my cause
- - to defend the Land we Love. v
The Fourth Liberty Loan offers "you another opportun
ity to back up the boys in France,- to "measure-up" -to
show your "will to win". You are asked to serve,
not by giving, but by lending your funds to your
Country in its time of need.
