Little.) Superfluity Shop Raises $100,000 in Four Years Since the Spring of 1940 when the Ottawa Superfluity Shop was first organized, the efforts of a group of volunteer women have resulted in thousands of dollars being turned over to the Red Cross Society, and war charities. Yesterday afternoon at lour o'clock, Finley McRae, president of the Ottawa branch of the Society, proffered a $10 bill for a purchase, which rang up the sale for those years to the high sum of $100,000. One hundred thousand dollars made up of trifling amounts from donated used clothing and household goods has brought untold comfort and joy to sufferers in many parts of the world. Mr. McRae said the Superfluity Shop was one of the mainstays of the 'Ottawa branch, and it had also been a big contributor to the Na tional Red Cross through its donations to the Prisoners of War fund- The Ottawa Superfluity Shop" said Mr.

McRae, "is the greatest contributing unit to the Red Cross in Canada, and I am very proud of it." His purchase was rung up on the casn register by Mrs. Catherine Cote, supervisor on Thursdays at the shop. Reaches Objective. Yesterday the receipts at the shop when It opened at nine o'clock were $9989, and there was a bit oi uncertainty in me minds of the committe, if the grand total would be reached by four o'clock. However, the day turned out one of the busiest lor some time, and the returns were satisfactory.

The Ottawa Superfluity nop came into oewg in we oprjim of 1940, organized by a group oi women with the desire to raise funds for the Canadian Red Cross Society. The committee, numbering more than 200, which functions so efficiently, is not a branch of the Red Cross Society, but is "organized under the War Charities Act Its chairman Is Mrs. Graham F. Towers, and the shop director is Mrs. Roy Geddes.

A4 the war progressed, ana each year has brought shortages of supplies and material, xne shop has helped to fill a need and to put into use again, all kinds of goods which would otherwise be lying idle or thrown away. How successful this venture has been is seen in the figures of the cross revenue for each year 1940, 1941, sio.7B3.va; 1942, 1943, $25,648.80: 1944, $25,146.04 (to date). The shop, through its volun teer workers, and the support the public in donating articles. has been able to operate on a very low expense account. It has amounted to approximately 11 percent, of the gross receipts.

which is less than half the percent allowed by the- War Charities Act. Donations to date to Red Cross projects have been $82,928.49, and the expenses have amounted to $10,890.64. The committee realized one oi the main reasons for the larger revenue each year has been due to the special large donations which have been received from different members of the commit tee who set themselves the task of raising a specified amount each year. One member alone, through her donations of original handmade toys and other articles, gained her objective of $1,000 last Another member has realized several hundred dollars for the shop by her donations of hand made baby clothes and household articles. Another donates hand-knitted baby garments still another potted plants.

In addition to this, there Is the sewing group who have taken over the of mending and remaking. The members gradually realized certain types of articles received needed special attention. Out of this need work under the direction of certain members, of the committee. This extra effort on their part has been repaid by the added revenue to the shop. Research Aids Sales, The committee member in charge of pictures and art work devotes a great many hours to research, in addition to the work of putting all these particular donations in saleable condition.

Due to her care and thought, be tween $200 and $300 each month has been added to the revenue of the shop.
