This drive is under the auspices of the Joint Dis-
tribution Committee and is being conducted in 850
communities throughout the United States in an
effort to collect six million pounds of vitally-needed
supplies.

In a few days, you will receive an SOS bag,
with printed instructions, which is to be used for
packing your contribution of canned foods. Clothing
of all types in good wearable condition is urgently
needed. Layettes are especially required, and you
are requested to tie all pairs of shoes together.

Volunteer collectors will stop at your home some
time after 10 a. m. Sunday morning, December 7,
to pick up your contribution. If you do not plan to be
at home at that hour, please leave the bag of canned
food and clothing in some accessible place where it
may be collected.

Your cooperation and generosity will receive the
thanks of all of us participating in this drive, and
the undying gratitude of those whose lives depend
upon our success.
FRED M. BUTZEL
Honorary Chairman
