SEWICKLEY, PA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1942 Price Five Cents K jFor ^ritains (Tfyristmas BRITISH WAR RELIEF QHRISTMAS IN BRITAIN this year will be much happier for the children (many thousands of whom are refugees' from European countries overrun by the Nazis), thanks' to the efforts of interested friends in the United States. In response to an appeal for soft dolls and toys, the members of Unit B, British War "Relief Society, Sewiekley, met on Thursday evenings during October, and a splendid shipment is1 now on the way to Britain, including 46 dolls, 42 stuffed animals, 3(5 small pocketbooks complete with handkerchiefs and combs, 22 books, S games, parka hoods and mittens, and o. large box of ribbon bows to cheer the hearts of the littrle girls. This picture is part of the display which Marjory McGregor (left) and Muriel Alexander (right) helped to arrange. Our thanks go to Mrs. W. C. Bo'bimson, whose donation of lovely doll clothes helped us to send so many beautifully 'dressed dolls. 51, Berkeley Square, London W. I. To the British War Belief Society, Incorporated, of the United States of America: We kope so much that our letters and enclosures may have reached you, 'but -we fear that owing to enemy action some may not have done so. We want to keep in touch and send you some of the hundreds of letters received from all those thousands of people here, to whom you have sent such magnificent aid during these years of war. It is quite impossible to estimate the amount of suffering relieved and the moral and material help that through your activities your Committee in Britain has been able to give. It is a privilege for me to write of this as, being British, I can testify to the work of your Committee here and toll you what thoy have done in a way they would not, owing to their modesty, do for themselves. I can testify to the imagination shown, to the practical swiftness with which helps has been available; how after the nightly raids of all those months last winter and spring, representatives of your Committee were always ready instantly to hand out food and clothes, blankets and other comforts to the homeless and helpless) after the nights of bombs and fires. And this immediate assistance was only the first step. At the same time and almost at once plans were forthcoming for helping to finance and equip house.-* in tlie I'nuntry for children, for families whose homes had become mere handfuls of dust; for the ag^d and .--jlitary (sj many old men and women seemed utterly alone in that world of destruction) and for the 'under fivers' (residential nurseries'. AH these svlR-iluli-s have thriven, and many of the letters I sent came fiom the participators in your generosity, the writers from seven to 70 years all expressing the same gratitude and pleasure in American help and kindness. These letters speak for themselves and are entirely spontaneous. I need not emphasize 'the work of the hundreds of mobile canteens you have given to this country. I believe you have received accounts of these and of the good they have done everywhere. The great fleet of .'Queen's Messengers,' another of your wonderful gifts, is now stationed all ovor tho country in key positions from which they can be rushed to any blitzed city and area. Towns like Plymouth, Coventry, Bristol, were deprived of light, water and gas. These mobile kitchens can feed 500 people at one time, and carry a great trailer of water as well. And you may imagine what a splendid need they are fulfilling. In all these things and in so many other ways you are doing a wonderful work, and we would be so very glad to know if you havo received our letters and if you would like to have photographs of the Queen's Messengers or any other brand of activities here. For the groat point of this letter is that we beg you to tell your committees of the great work they are doing and of the immense appreciation that is felt here for the British War Belief Society of America.
