Mrs. Phipps Heads Clothing Drive As a part of the statewide drive ? for clothing, bedding, and shoes ; for overseas relief Mrs. W. A. 1 1 Phipps, proprietor of Regal Hotel. who has been appointed county ! chairman, appealed to every per t son in Cherokee county to give > these items generously. With the > North Carolina general campaign * running to May 31 the local drive , I is now under way. Mrs Phipps urges housewives, as i - they do their spring housecleaning. j ' to give away as much as possible rather than store for the summer. "By our giving now. Church World Service, overseas relief agency for - 26 Protestant denominations can - get the North Carolina donations / overseas by early summer", she i. said. She called upon such estab i. lishments as shoe repair shops, de a partment stores, textile mills, n cleaners and laundries to donate unsalable, out-of-date, or uncalled for goods. Citing one example of how local people can contribute Mrs. Phipps stated that a cotton feed sack worth 20c in this country would bring $5 in Poland, where it would be used for diapers or underwear. Millions ot persons overseas have had no underwear for several years and are wearing threadbare outer gar ments. Shoes are especially ex pensive. a pair of work shoes cost ing $50 up. Proof that the goods "get there" is found in the thousands of thank you letters received at the Church World Service Center, New Wind sor, Maryland. In order that such notes come from overseas to the donors Mrs. Phipps urged all con tributing to the drive to put notes of friendship in pockets and shoes. In this way actual receipts may come back and international friendship established.
