Next Tuesday Bundle Day

for the Associated Charities to collect them for future
use Indeed the saving need not be confined to cloth
ing bedding rugs and table linen disable though shabby
OF worn will be welcome and it will all come in handy
But principally the call is for cOthng-winter cloth
ing particularly. Clothing is wanted for men and
women, boys and girls and infants Clothing Of all
sorts, including outside wraps, Shoes and night cloth
ing OF course it is useless to things that are
too far gone TO be Of any use that are hopeessy
soled Only things be used that are fit to repair
and suitable for self respecting people to wear.
All such material that really has some value will
be sorted by the Associated Charities cleaned and re-
paired and stored away safely for next winters neces
sites Last winter a good deal Of money was spent
in buying clothing that might have been invested in
other forms Of relief work If the thousands and
thousands Of Retodo people in FL Paso had taken
thought to up their cast off clothes and turn them
in to the Charities.

for this request is obvious.

DESIGNATED as collecting depots Best hold the things

children OF otherwise. Arrangements have been made
nv which automobiles and trucks will call at the

be used wisely for the relief of those who need it.
