PRISONERS OF WAR

HOW TO HELP THEM

You would like to do something but can afford so little. Remember "Every mickle makes a muckle". If you are willing to take trouble you can still do your bit. There are three ways.

1

Give ten cents a week yourself and collect the same from nine other people. This forms a "Circle" and provides for one prisoner. Your dollar will send him every week a parcel of good substantial food.

2

If ten cents a week is too much, try for a semi-circle made up of ten five cent pieces, or a full circle of twenty five cent pieces.

3

If this is still too much, collect twenty-five cents a week in pennies, and this will provide a good loaf of bread sent straight from Switzerland. And a loaf is a pretty good present to send to a hungry prisoner.

WHICH OF THESE THREE WAYS WILL YOU CHOOSE?
