Blankets for London

S►a,—With reference to the letter from Mr. Sturge of the Friends House appealing for blankets for Berlin which were to be sent to an address in Pimlico. May I point out that in this parish, and I have no doubt in many others, there are those who are continually striving to obtain blankets and bedding for mothers facing confinement at home, for children and for the aged, many of whom lost all their belongings as a result of the heavy bombing. Has Mr. Sturge seen some of the London welfare workers' books ? Believe me, he need not go to Berlin to find cases such as he quotes.—Yours sincerely,

Saint Gab-ries Vicarage, Pintlic•o. BARBARA M. LOVELL.
