Canada Comforts Update In the last issue, you read about Canada Comforts, a new project approved by FWIO. There is a great need for cotton cloths to bathe new babies and their mothers. Midwives would like to have enough so every mother can take a cloth home to bathe their newborns. There is also a need fortoques, mitts, children's clothes, afghans and blankets as well as teddy bears and teddy bear bags. More information can be obtained and patterns are available from your Area Board Director, Area Voting Delegate or Leila. Sylvia Hatfield (Canada Comforts Organizer) says the Compassionate Warehouse is no longer accepting adult clothing but they still desperately need baby and children's clothes. She also reports that there have been a few frustrations with funding containers, since shipping has increased by 30% with the rise ofoil prices. For more information on how you can help, see page 6 in the Spring/Summer issue of the Home and Country ROSE Garden. e. \. .,.
