"MILK FOR SPAIN" FUND In Barcelona there are 200,000 children. The International Solidarity Fund serves 33,000 glasses of milk and a biscuit every morning to children on their arrival at school. The Mayor of Barcelona also receives regular quantities of milk from this Fund for the Hospitals, Outdoor Relief, and Refugee Homes. In Catalonia there are 100,000 school children receiving their morning milk from the International Solidarity Fund. Twenty-three separate consignments of milk and milk powder have been safely delivered in Spain by the Joint "Milk for Spain" Fund of the Labour Party and Co-operative Union. Another consignment is about to leave. More than £26,000 has been subscribed and spent. It is easily possible for those of small means and big hearts to send milk to Spain. They may buy Threepenny Tokens, which are brown, or Sixpenny Tokens, which are green, at the local Co-operative Stores, where you will find new posters advertising both Tokens. Posters may also be ordered for display in Party and Trades Halls, and at Public Meetings. Threepence is not very much, but it means several mugs of milk to a Spanish child. Some of these children have written to us: "It is very good and sweet," says one. "It tastes just like butter," says another. It showed a third child that "the other children in the world love us very much". "It is fun to see the queue, in the courtyard, each one carrying his mug," writes another. Another, aged 10, hopes that "all the friends who send it will live long". The purchase of a Threepenny or Sixpenny Token is the best and cheapest Christmas Greeting to a Spanish child. Subscriptions to the "Milk for Spain" Fund may also be sent direct to Transport House, Smith Square, London, S.W.I. This is the method usually chosen for larger subscriptions, whether by individuals or Affiliated Organisations, or where collections have been taken in Branches, Party Meetings or Public Demonstrations.
