To the Editor of the Norta-Cama Dairy News."
Sin—A depot for this work (a room at the Supreme Court) will be open from 10 a.m. to noon on Thursday, October 1, and all days except Sundays until further notice to receive and supply materials, All purchasers should bring an order signed by the representative of their centre stating the kind and amount of material required. As this may not be always possible signed order would enable anyone to purchase material not exceeding in value.
It has been decided to provide, firstly and as quickly as possible, the articles which the authorities at Weihaiwei have stated they desire for the 400 beds there established. After that anything that may be needed by our troops in the field at Tsingtao.
For the guidance of purchasers I may mention that a doctor who served in South Africa has told me that flannel shirts are most useful, as they do the double duty and wounded.
An old campaigner deo has informed us that sweaters are eagerly welcomed by the men in the field. All men who have discarded sweaters may send them to depot or to any of us who represent centres of work. Cardigans and old flannel shirts would also be accepted, otherwise old clothes would be useless.
T have read with interest "P. C. H.'s" letter in this morning's issue. His suggestions are valuable, but I would point out thab our work is primarily for oun troops in the East: when they are supplied the remainder will be sent home to centre that will distribute what they receive when it is most needed. I would also point out that our work is named British Women's Work." for our sailors and soldiers and their families."
