But, do do nate them to the Clothing Drive sponsored annually by th e WSGA House of Representatives.

House, has urged the girls to give generously to this very worthy cause, saying, "We would appreciate any con tributions by the girla in the dorms because there is still an urgent need for clothing' in Europe." As in the past, the House is working in conjunction with a national clothing drive sponsored by the American Friends Service Committee. The drive was in itiated in 1917 and has been car ried on every year since. Today, there is a vital need in Europe for clothes, Miss Williams stated. In Austria, France, Germany, Italy and Yugoslavia, the little clothing produced is expensive and of poor quality. The cloth ing the people wear is inadequate and very old. Articles Needed Clothing, toilet articles, sew ing materials and baby layettes are being called for. Particularly in demand at this time are wool en clothing of all types and shoes. If planning to donate a pair of shoes in need of repair, place them in the box and file one dollar for their repair with a hostess. eozgagernento Trucker—Rubin Miss Janet Rubin and Seymore L.
