115 TONS OF CLEANING RAGS
The National Council for the Reclamation of Waste Materials has announced that the army and the air force urgently require 115 tons of cleaning rags, and has asked the Girl Guides' Association to undertake the collection. The Dominion Executive of the Girl Guides' Association has agreed to the request, and has decided that a house-to-house collection shall take place all over New Zealand next week—September 21-26. The Guides will do their collecting after school and will store the rags in convenient places until September 26, when the district commissioners will convey them to some central depot in readiness for army lorries to take final delivery. Housewives are asked to look out any spare clean cotton rags they have, so that a successful collection may take place.
