HALIFAX, N.S.

One lot of packing-cases got exposed to the storm at North Street Station and when the clothes were unpacked they were found soaking wet. Mr. Schon of Ungar's Laundry took them over in lots to the laundry and had them dried. The women working at the Relief were so cold that when a lot of freshly dried clothes would come over from the laundry they would all rush to put their hands among them because they were warm from the drying-room.
Mr. Hugh Mills, one of the volunteer workers, lost his overcoat --some-one gave it to a refugee y mistake. Miss Bertha Hancock lost a black fox muff.
One day some one called Mrs. Slayter on the telephone and asked her if she could do some-thing about getting clothes for the people who were being looked after at the Oil-works Shelter, Dartmouth.
She sent over clothing and was asked to get 150 pairs of boots.
When she went to the man who was in charge of that branch he said -- "A lot of boots were sent over to Dartmouth this morning." She asked him to find out if they were for the people at the Oil-Works. When he telephoned Dartmouth they told him to tell Mrs. Slayter to mind her own business and not to interfere with the Dartmouth Relief. She did nothing further for them.
"Didn't do anything interesting, just handed out clothing."
