A thousands of planes, and by thousands of tanks and guns. The defenders of Stalingrad fought house by house, with their backs 'to the river. They won Stalingrad and with this they have won an abiding place in the hearts of freedom-loving people. They turned the tide of war in our favor.

This summer, the Soviet armies hurled the Nazis beyond the Dnieper mid have taken the heaviest toll of the enemy's man power and equip- ment. Russin's mighty offensive, linked with Anglo-Anicrican opera- tions in the west, has opened the way tos an early Allied victory and the Lirth of peace for mankind. The Sovict people have more than carned our gratitude. They have paid and are continuing to pay an extreme- ly heavy price for our common vic- tory. Millions have lost théir homes. Every Russian family has suffered loss of life and property. The devas- tation in that country is beyond de- scription. | Canadians will not want to stand aside and permit the Russians to bear these burdens unaided. Canadians | have demonstrated that they want to share the war with the Russian people. They can do this by contributing warm clothing for the people in the liberated areas. The need for clothing in Russia is beyond ordinary measure- ment. It is Ustimated that more than 30,000,000 persons will need help in the areas now being liberated fiom Nazi occupation. The devastation in these centres is so great that all that gov- ernments and voluntary agencies might send will not be enough. The Nazis have literally torn the clothing | from the backs of the Russian people and burned their homes to the ground. The British, American and other Allied peoples are now conducting special drives for aid to Russia, "Ca- nadians, too, will want to help. In his appeal, Mr. Creed expressed the hope that business firms, schools, churches, trade unions, fraternal so- cieties, professional and other groups will help to pile high the bales of clothing for shipment to the Soviet Union. Through his splendid organization, Mr. Creed is able to sort, pack and ship the clothing as quickly, as it comes in. They are transported on Soviet boats through waters relatively at Burns' Church Sunday School oni safe from enemy attack. --Kriday evening, Dec, 17th.
