Not an 2# attack on OXFAM


THE letter from Mrs Blades and Mrs Sainsbury in last week’s issue quite astonished me. I have no personal objec­ tion whatever to the shop in the Market Place for Oxfam and as' a supporter both in cash and kind I hope it will be successful.


one w’ord of my letter could remotely be construed as ah attack on Oxfam. I could not be so uncharitable, but whether the new site is well chosen remains to be seen. A few lessons in reading and comprehension might be an advantage to both correspon­ dents who, perhaps, were taking advantage of the opportunity for a little cheap publicity, in which case they are heartily welcome.

Oxfam recognises its respon­ sibility, not only to the cause it eschews, but also to the community from which it hopes to derive its support. Tne King Street displays were never of town centre quality, but I am sure the promoters will do their best for us.

AFTER reading Mr Musson’s letter in connection with the new Orfam shop in the Market Place, I would like to protest at the quite unnecessarily sardonic replies he received. As an old Clitheronian, I


must confess that I, too, had all his qualms when I read of the siting of the shop, as I have yet to see any charity shop look anything but a conglomeration of unappetis­ ing second-hand articles. However, I certainly hope

The committee will need to

JOHNSON'S CARPETS & FURNISHERS CAN NOW OFFER •A REVOLUTIONARY STYLE OF CARPET CLEANING' SECOND TO NONE IN THE COUNTRY ;


WHAT MAKES THIS METHOD SO REVOLUTIONARY?


OPERATION OF THE MACHINE. The basic principles involved are that heated water with colour restoratives and degreasing agents are sprayed under high pressure— onto the pile of the carpet, thus disturbing all dirt and grease, etc., in the carpet.


This is then quickly followed by a powerful vacuum extraction hose — which sucks out all the disturbed dirt and grease and water. This process restores back to the carpet its original colour — pile depth and former clean­ liness.


All this means Is that not only can we clean carpets In homes — but also pubs — clubs:— dance halls — bingo halls — cinemas — department stores — shops r— offices — hospitals — hotels — banks -— local authorities — schools, etc.
