WORK FOR MINESWEEPERS.
(To the Editor.) Sir, —I and many others would like to express our appreciation of Mr Winks’s clear and concise letters and the opportunity to do some really worth-while war work without unnecessary irritation. I submit a suggestion for what it is worth. A friend of mine, the wife of a sheep-farmer, always collects any old leather gloves she can and sews a piece of the skin on the palm of the woollen gloves her husband wears when out riding round the sheep in the frosty weather. Perhaps we could do something of the kind for the gloves for the minesweepers as well as using up the better pieces of the fur coats I hope we shall get to make fuflined gloves.—l am. etc.. ANXIOUS TO WORK.
