COMFORTS FOR THE CAMPS.
Sir.—T read with interest the letter of "A.W.," a suggestion for the various women's organisations and societies to combine in an organised effort to provide men in relief camps with warm underwear and socks. My husband is one of those brave men who have gone out to the backblocks to earn what is allotted to the married men simply because there was nothing else offering in town. After he pays for his food, etc., there is £1 left to send home for myself and two children. I know too well he for one needs warm underwear and socks, and I am at the present puzzling just, how I am to get these for him. vVe are not of the old poor, and do not seek charity in any way, but I do feel that there could bo some way that these mep could be provided with new, not old, clothes. I say our men are as brave as any of the soldiers who faced hardships during the war, and they were always supplied by our worthy women's societies with new goods and plenty of them. Poor But Proud.
