In addition to the above cash expenditures on Rehabilitation, a 
large number of suits of clothes, new and used overcoats, shoes, socks, 
underwear etc. were received and distributed in Toronto and in the 
various localities. A great number of returned veterans in Toronto and 
in practically every city in the country were provided with free room 
and board, restaurant meals, medical assistance, etc., in some cases to 
the extent of many weeks, by numerous supporters of the committee and 
by friends of the vets. 
Some Facts Regarding Various Localities 
Owing to the fact that financial reports from many localities have 
not been forwarded it is not possible to make a detailed statement of 
the exact results in each locality during the three months campaign. 
However, there are a number of outstanding reports, a few items of which 
are included here:
Toronto headed the list in raising the sum of $6,551.99. (A 
special report on Toronto is included.) Next comes WINNIPEG which 
raised a total of $4,579.20 putting on a splendid campaign of a very 
widespread character. Winnipeg was successful in holding a tag day, 
although unfortunately in a temperature of 38 degrees below zero. In 
this district 56 vets received assistance, among them 11 hospital cases, 
one being a case of a man who has lost a leg. A big quantity of 
clothing was also collected. 
MONTREAL raised the sum of $3,195.78 and did excellent work under 
the most difficult circumstances since the Padlock Law prohibits public 
meetings. They succeeded in interesting all types of people. When the 
large group of men arrived, they collected huge quantities of food for 
the train - they also procured free meals from a number of restaurants 
and a big quantity of clothing. They have 53 veterans - five are in 
the hospital, one in a sanitorium, and 6 are disability cases. The 
Montreal committee was successful in promoting a Social Workers Sub-
Committee which is endeavoring to study the problems and needs of the 
men and has already procured jobs for some of them.
