We also stock rest centres with clothing all in readiness, so that help is avail- able at any moment of the day or night. I remember on one occasion being called out of.church to send clothing for the patients in a men- tal home that had been hit. While awaiting issue the clothing is con- tinually being shaken, brushed and cared for, so that it shall be kept in condition. I see hy your letter that you have had a letter from the Lord Mayor of Norwich, so um; Idoebtedly we have at this depot had some gifts sent by you and your friends through our hands. When I tell you that after the heavy Norwich city raids two years ago, 30,000 people had to be cared for as the result of two night's bombing. You will therefore see something of the colossal need and realize why we are so externally grateful. It is so heartening for us to be able to give something really nice to people in distress. It really is enough to break our heart to see really decent hard working people have everything swept away at one stroke, some of them'only left with just the clothes they can scramble . .. . -____ _-., a“.

And yet it is surprising what a few tears are shed, in all the misery of it the people just pick up the shreds of their life and go on, but instead oChappy smil- ing faces the people are getting to look grim and strained. It makes you feel so sorry for the old folks and children. They are so good. the things which make childhood a lovely pleasant time haw gone. Even their clothes cut down to the 'lowest possible amount, being haul.. ed out of bed at all hours to sit in (underground shelters, and listen to (bombs and guns banging, trying so hard not to cry. That is the children of Southern England to- day. I have a little niece, she is 11 years old and as long as I live I shall remember her telling me, after a raid where she had to liel on the floor of a cupboard with her mummy for hours on end. "Auntie, my daddy said I was a brave girl but I don't think I could have been because my legs wouldn't stop from shaking." Poor mites, can you wonder that we bless all you kind friends for all you are doin to help to bring them a bright s'lfed' of sunshine into their lives. We try to teach them to like a raw carrot instead of candy, but we know all the time they are getting a raw deal. And now just a word about the other depot of which I am in charge. You said in your letter that you had heard from Mrs. Bar- clay of the Sailors', Mldierss' and Airmen's Association. Well, my second depot is the Norfolk County Clothing Depot of this organiza- tion. The SS. and A.F.A. which looks after the wives and families of our splendid men in the forces. My depot is at 31 Bethel street near to Chapel Field Gardens and at the back of the Salvation Army Citadel in St. Giles, which by the way is still used as their head- quarters. We deal with cases of soldiers' and sailors' wives and chil- dren at this depot who need help with their clothing and I can assure you it is some of God’s own work. We are so very glad .of the Cana- dian and American clothing and the baby layettes. Shoes as you can imagine are in very great de- mand. ur cases come from all parts of Norfolk. I have never dis- tributed anything other than cloth- ing from this depot but I can tell you of the real pleasure that the gifts of clothing bring.
