"A plan is on foot to establish home
for the aged women of the town who
are not able to support themselves.
| Those interested in the work will ask the
/ different churches to lend a helping hand,
and it is to be non denominational
church home.
The plan is to have all the old women,
who are aided b. the different churches,
sent to this home. They can be made
more comfortable, and it will be less ex-
pensive to each church to care for them.
Some light work will be provided so
those able to work will not be idle.
1t is hoped that our citizens will help
the cause, as it would be great bless
ing to some of our old and infirm Ia
dies
