Wool has been bought to the
amount of $110, but has not yet been
all paid for, and at least fifty dollars
more is needed to pay on it. The
committee must raise, however, S145
very soon, for present needs. and, of
course, the drafted men in the next
call must be provided for additional
ly. All persons who have promised
to contribute are asked to do so as
soon as possible.
The committee has received a new
lot of wool and will have forty-tive
pounds to distribute, so that anyone
desiring to knit can get woll now. 1t
is to be hoped that a ready response
will be had. Let no one be too tired
or too busy to knit these sweaters,
for the Dorchester boys, as they need
them more each day.
Five sweaters have just been turn
ed in from Taylor's Island, and all
those who are knitting are requested
to finish their sweaters, as the COM
mittee would like to send a box off
next week
The people throughout the county
are asked to knit and contribute, as
well as the Cambridge people, and if
each school would raise the price of
one sweater it would help consider
ably. This organization is a perma-
nent one, and will continue to look
after the welfare of the Dorchester
boys as long as the war continues.
