From such a dead Nazi, "Mom" obtained the overcoat which covers her and the baby. "Junior" got the shirt, his only garment. "Pop" got shoes to smarten up, his ragged rig, and little "Tony" got a strip of canvas for a makeshift toga. Millions of others in war-ravaged lands need all the serviceable used clothing, shoes and bedding you can give to the United National Clothing Collection. Anaheim, together with the rest of the nation, is getting ready for a big heave and a push that will put the United Nations Clothing Drive over the top so that some relief may be brought to the 125,000,000 destitute men, women and children in the liberated countries. The drive, sponsored locally by the service clubs, the Chamber of Commerce and the Civilian Defense committee will get under way Sunday, April 1 and a vigorous campaign will be conducted throughout the remainder of the month.

The total goal is 150,000,000 pounds and Henry J. Kaiser, contractor and ship builder, is the national chairman. The Anaheim committee of the clothing collection campaign is composed of Charles Pearson of the Lions club; Axel Oas of the Rotary club; Norbert E. Faessell of the Kiwanis club; Al Raymond, civilian defense chairman and Lee Fabian of the Chamber of Commerce. This week letters are being sent to each of the local churches asking that they be collecting agencies. For those who have no church affiliations clothing may be taken to the city yard. In the past clothing collections have been held for individual nations and this is the first time that a united drive, to benefit all needy, liberated countries, has been held.
