every woman should start a rag bag

195 EVERY SCRAP OF SALVAGE COUNTS The need for rags is so urgent. They make uniforms, blankets: maps, surgical supplies: gun wadding, wipers for aero engines and thousands of other essential weapons of war. Keep your rag-bag filled with scraps and bits that are themselves beyond repair and useless for repairing other clothes — remains of old clothing, dusters, towels; sacking and can- vas; old clothes-line, cord and string. Dirty, oily and paint-stained rags are wanted as well as clean ones. Put rags in a separate bundle ready for the Salvage Collector or sell them to the Rag and Bone Man.
