Oregon schools have been asked to take part in the Twelfth National Children’s Clothing Crusade to collect clothing to aid Korea. Seven countries of Western Europe, two southwestern Indian Reservations, and isolated rural areas of eight southern states, it was announced today by Leland D. Carmack, National Representative of Save the Children Federation. Every family in Oregon is being asked to send a bundle of good, serviceable clothing to school during the week of the drive, March 22nd-March 27th. Universal participation of Oregon schools is expected this year in the drive which is conducted under the auspices of the national committee of school superintendents. The cloth ing will be distributed by Save the Children Federation, a child service organization which renders aid not only to neglected children in America but also to victims of war overseas. Clothing for Korea will be stored and reconditioned in Federation Cloth ing Center and then shipped to Korea where it will be distributed through the Unified Command. Federation officers report that there are nine I million victims of communist aggre-- I sion in Korea desperately in need of this aid, as well as millions still in need in Europe where in certain areas conditions are still tragic. Thous ands of children in handicapped rural areas of America are unable to at tend school as a result of being in adequately clothed. Officials of Save the Children Federation, report that thousands of American children do not attend school as they lack suf ficient clothing. Besides the clothing distribution program, Save the Children Federa tion administers child and school sponsorship programs in America, overseas, and in Indian Reservations in the Southwest. In these personal ized programs, individuals, schools, organizations, and churches adopt a child or school through sponsorship and agree not only to furnish a spec ified amount of aid but also to cor respond with the children or school that they have adopted. The spon sorship programs have been widely accepted as one of furthering mutual understanding and friendship be tween people of other countries and America. The clothing drive in Oregon is ex pected to raise 110,000 pounds of clo- thing, Mr. Carmack reports, and ad ded, "Bundle Week drive will be the greatest effort ever made in Oregon schools to collect clothing. If each family in Oregon will send at least cue bundle of good clothing during Bun dle Week, the goal will be reached.” LICENSED Mor* than *v*r GARBAGE Come m , . .
