The recent wet weather has
shown the utter uselessness of
depending on makeshift road
work. A road worked in the fall
or winter is worse than no road
at all. After all, no road will
stand long spell of vet weather
except 4 gravel road.

WASHBURN GIRLS HELP
They Enlist in Thanksgiving Work of
Confidential Exchange.

Washburn girls have enlisted in tho
campaign of Topeka charitable organ-
izations and individuals to put q
Thanksgiving basket in the home of
every needy family on November 80.
The social service committee of the
Washburn Y. w. c. A, Sue Louise
Bell, chairman, has volunteered its
services to Miss Adams, secretary of
the Confidential Exchange, and thcv
will trace down families who received
baskets last year but who have since
been lost track of. and will investigate
the actual needs of the many FAM
lilies who are to be recipients of the
charity wave week after next
While many organizations, church
societies and classes have reported to
Miss Adams, at the Confidential Ex-
change and have been assigned TO
cases by her, many organizations have
not yet asked for families. And the
volunteering of individuals this year
has been very slow. Last year LA
families, whose names were on file
missed out on the Thanksgiving cheer
People and organizations willing to
help the cause along are requested t.,
telephone Miss Adams at the Ex-
change office. Tel. No. 565.
Families who want Thanksgiving
help are asked to telephone Miss
Adams at the Exchange or leave their
names at the State Journal office, tel

promptly be connected with a donor
of Thanksgiving basket.
