British Relief Work
Information from Great Britain
states that the Women’s Volun
tary Service Corps, an organization
of 800,000 British women headed
by Lady Stella Reading has taken
over the 96 mobile canteens given
by the American Red Cross and
is tirelessly rushing food to con
centration points, and to firemen,
police and air raid precaution
workers. In spite of the fact that
the American Red Cross has al
ready sent more than 600,000 gar
ments to Britain and will send
.more, hundreds of thousands of
children, women and aged
.vill be in desperate need of ad
ditional warm clothing this win
ter. Heated houses will be vir
tually non-existent. It is said
that there is not enough glass
in all of the British Isles to re
place the broken windows in the
London area alone. More canteens
are needed to insure an adequate
distribution of food. Lady Read
ing states that wherever motile
canteens are in service to home
less people and relief workers
their efficiency is increased 100%.
Whatever is done by Tryon people
in the gift of a mobile canteen
and in the furnishing of warm
clothing to Britain will be a direct
contribution to winning the war.
