Mr.. Frank Tinkle, a worker in the
Salvation Army, who was here on
Monday representing the Industrial
Home in Toledo, will return on Mon

his work, the work he came to town
to do. On his arrival here he learned
that the Civic Club had a rummage
sale scheduled for Saturday of this
week, the sale being to get funds for
the relief during the coming winter
of needy ones in Wauseon. Mr.. Tinkle

our folks in what is being done by the
Industrial Home in Toledo for the up
lift of doWn-and-out men, as told of
at length in the last issue of this pa

learned of the conditions here and the
effort of the Civic League to lend
helping hand to the poor folks of the
community.

Savior there were twelve basketfuls
of left-overs-we will be glad to ask

would ask the good citizens of Wau-
seon who may be from home when
