Aid to Russia and Prisoners of War Funds Drive
District Rural School principal O S Fox urges schools to raise funds this term for two causes: aid for prisoners of war and purchase of 70 000 sheepskins for Russian soldiers. He cites Mrs Churchill and endorses reading Hew Jett Johnson's The Socialist Sixth of the World as a guide to understanding Russia and practical Christianity. An educational aid committee in Syrdnev sent a copy of the book offered at shilling rate with collection at school residences.
