CHURCHES TO CARE
FOR CITY'S POOR

The churches and clubs Of Grand
Forks are providing tho Christmas
dinners for the city's poor this year,
this plan differing somewhat from
that Of former years when the Asso-
ciated Charities cared for the poor
The plan adopted this year, it is
hoped, will scatter the responsible
ties and work of preparing the
Christmas dinners. as the brunt of
the undertaking in former years has
been practically shouldered by a
small few.
According to Mrs. Agnes Rex. city
social service commissioner, the re-
sponse from the church and club peo-
pie of the city. and from individuals,
has exceeded all expectations Prac-
tically every church is caring for the
poor in it's congregation. Aside from
the fact that the societies of the
churches are working successfully in
unison there have been received
numerous large subscriptions which
will go help to make this Christmas
one to be remembered by many.
The RUSSELL Miller Milling Co. is
donating a sack of -four to large
number of poor families, and the
wholesale houses and business men
are taking an active part in prepar-
ing the Christmas dinners.
