PLANS
FOR RELIEF OF THE
BELGIAN SUFFERERS
Helpful Suggestions for All Who
Desire to Aid in Furthering
This Most Worthy Cause
The Committees


Mrs j. II. Sturgis, Mrs. G. p. Ganneu
The adoption of a plan for making So
licitations was left to the executive
committee.
The executive committee met at Y.
M. c. A. Saturday to complete ar
rangements.
1t was finally decided to carry on
the work as at first laid out, that is,
through the churches and various fra
ternal organizations.
All the people named in the list pub
lished last Thursday and those since
added are therefore constituted the
soliciting committee.
Every pastor and the head Of every
fraternal organization Is requested to
call his or her members of the com
mittee together at once and assign the
work. 1t is expected that each body
will thus take care of its own mem
bership.
1t was also thought best to ask that
all clothing and personal matters be
sent to the various church vestrys, in
order that the ladies might have OPP
portunity to look them over and put
them in good condition. OF course only
clean clothing will be contributed, but
there should be careful inspection be-
fore it is forwarded. The store on Wa
ter street opposite the Colonial thea
ter has been secured as a receiving
depot and here all produce and food
supplies should be sent. 1t will be open
on and after Friday morning. Be
sure and send a slip with every con-
tribution giving your name and list
of articles. Subscription books, proper
ly numbered, will be in the hands of
the pastors and organization heads
today and it is hoped the soliciting
work will be begun Immediately.
D. f. Foster and e. L. Ripley, mas
tiers of Cushnoc and Capital Oranges
will take the work up with the
Oranges and Pomonas in the county
Whoever desires to give, no matter
where he or she lives, may send to the
Augusta committee and be sure that
the contribution will be properly cared
for.
There is almost no limit on what
may be taken: Money, clothing, flour,
all kinds of canned goods, potatoes and
apples in barrels or boxes (barrels
preferred)-the list may be extended
almost indefinitely.
In clothing the committee will ac-
cept such things as warm undercloth-
ing. shawls, stockings, shoes, mittens.
work boxes containing buttons, thread,
needles and pins, warm waists and
dresses for women and children and
shirts, coats and trousers for men and
BOYS. 1t is hoped that the contribu-
tions may be ready by December first.
The pastors and organization heads
are requested to meet the committee
at the Y. NJ C. A. at o'clock today.
