Good For Dorchester

their country, and TINS purpose ha:
been carried out so far as it wa:
possible to do so. If any Of the
! boys have been overlooked, it is be
cause their parents or relatives have
| failed to send III their names to the
| Secretary, as requested.
100 packets for the boys at Camp
Mcclellan, and 106 for those al
| Camp Meade were shipped to the Pc,
| tOmac Division of the American Red
Cross, Washington. for distribution
! and each packet was plainly marked
with name and address. 20 addi-
tional packets were sent to the Poto-
| mac Division for general distribu-
| ton, and all of the other packages
were mailed separately.
! 1t has cost approximately $500 to
| purchase these gifts, pay for the pos
tage. etc, and practically all of the
money has been raised by voluntary
contributions from the people of the
county.
The packing and shipping of these
packets, 800 in number, has been
under the direction of the Secretary,
Mrs. Josiah Leeds Kerr, and all were
prepared for shipment at her home
on Oakley street. Mrs. Kerr was alb
ly assisted by Mrs Levin S. Dali, Mrs.
William E. Meekins and Mrs. Edgar
B. Simmons, of the Executive Com
mittee, and number of volunteers.
The ladies have worked increasingly
to get the packets off to the boys on
time, so they may know on Christ
mas morning that the folks back
home are thinking of them.
1t may be interesting to know that
there are fifteen Dorchester boys
with the American Expeditionary
Forces, fighting for liberty and free
dom in strange lands, and each one
of these boys has been sent a Christ
mas remembrance.
