President William Green of the American Federation of Labor has endorsed the Russian War Relief Kit Drive, in which 5,000,000 Americans are being asked to fill household emergency kits for the relief of Russian families who are rebuilding their homes in the villages liberated from the Nazis, according to an announcement made by Mrs. John P. Peters, chairman of the New Haven Russian War Relief Kit Committee.
The empty cardboard kits, and lists of the specific items with which they should be filled, are now being distributed at local R.W.R. headquarters, 1121 Chapel Street. The list includes such items as dehydrated soup, work gloves, needles and thread, canned milk, hard candy, etc.; inexpensive articles which are practically non-existent in war-torn Russia. The filled kits, with a personal message, should be returned to local R.W.R. headquarters for shipment to the Soviet Union.
Real balance can be added to the scales weighing our sorrows with our comforts by buying more War Bonds.
