To Hold Annual Meeting.
The Social Welfare League will hold
it's third annual meeting for the cleo
ton of officers, and the consideration
OF it's winters work, Wednesday, No
vember IA, at o'clock at IS Whiting
street.
Since it's organization Nov. IA, 1914,
the League has done some efficient
work, especially in the hard winter of
1914 During the past year its work
has been quietly carried on by Mrs.
Hiram Lowrey it's vice president.
While it has never at any time han
died much money, it has handled
quantities of clothing which it has
used to the advantage and ebnef1t, not
of individuals alone, but of the town
itself, saving it many dollars.
With little money, and with very
little clothing, the League is now fac
ing what promises to be an unusual
winter in regard to need. With the
all-important work for the soldiers
taking the first place, as 1t must, ana
with the packing of Missionary boxes
and barrels by the churches, 1t Is 60
ing to be easy to lose sight OF our own
people until the great need comes anu
finds us unprepared. SO IN TINS tlH1e
of universal pleas for help the League
feels that it must make a strong ,ap-
peal for contributions of clothing ana
shoes, indeed for anything Whlcn can
possibly be\spared from these other
objects. While all may not be able
to purchase Liberty Bonds, every per-
III along
line.
