GOOD SUGGESTION TO
CANNING CLUB GIRLS
How They Can Brighten Life for the
Orphaned and Homeless

How They Can Brighten Life for the
Orphaned and Homeless
Feeling absolutely certain of your
true worth and loyalty, / want to
make suggestion that l believe you
will thoroughly appreciate. / am writ
ing you through the press in order
that you may have in mind right
away the privilege that is ours that
of taking part in splendid work. and
that you may invite others to share
it with YOU
On November 10th, all canning
club girls of Marion county are to
meet in Ocala andltake part in the
Children's Day parade. We hope to
make this the greatest gathering of
friends and neighbors ever brought
together, and that most delightful
day will be ours.
This will be the day of our contest,
and the awarding of prizes, when
those of you who do not receive the
highest prizes will rejoice with those
who do.
Now, girls, you all know that the
greatest Of all pleasures is that of be-
ing able to do for others. To do some
worthy deed when and where most
needed, and / have thought out plan
whereby this special pleasure may be
carried into every home in Marion
county, if so desired.
But | want. my club girls to take
the lead, and invite every one who
may be interested to join you.
When you send or bring your ex-
hibits to our County Fair, don't you
think it would make your heart glad
to select one or two cans or jars of
goods from your lot and give to the
little orphaned children of the Chill
dren's Home in Jacksonville? and to
our boys at the school in Mariana?
Boys and girls who are not so for
tunate as you are-no father or moth
er or home-looking to the charity
of the state for their supporti
| know the hearts of my club mem
bers are open to this suggestion, for
no more worthy cause could come be-
fore them than that of our orphan
children
Some things have already been
promised, and a large decorated bas-
ket will be there to receive donations
regardless of how large or how small
the offering. The goods will be pack
| ed and sent as a Thanksgiving offer
ing from the canning club girls of Ma
rion county, and their friends.
/ would also especially invite the
corn club boys to take part in this
work But / wish it distinctly under
stood that this is only a suggestion,
not command by any means. I am
sure there is not a home in our coun-
| ty but that would like to donate some
thing to the aid of these homes, and
in this way great results may be OBJ
tanned by each doing just a little.
Those of you who wish to add a
Il
this collection for the children will
please mark it so on your exhibit, and
the ladies in charge will place it in
the basket which will be on exhibit
ton at the Fair. On every can or jar
that is given would like the name
and address of the party donating,
/ If there is choice to which home
it shall be sent, please state that also.
This viii give our boys and girls,
parents and friends an opportunity
of taking part in the worlds greatest
and noblest work-that of doing for
the fatherless and motherless chill
dren. Write me Il further advice is
necessary. Caroline Fl. Moorhead,
/ Canning Club and Home Demonstra
ton Agent.
