The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1919-10-24

These donations have been on dis
play for several days in one of the
Main street windows of the Davids
department store, and have aroused
a great deal of favorable comment
and conjecture AS need arises, these
useful and well made articles will be
given out by the Needlework guild
and great deal of good will be ac-
A complished by the society in this
manner. At the present time the
high cost Of living win make it ex-
tremely difficult for many parents
to provide suitable clothing for their
1 children during the cold winter
months, and it is the hope of the
/ Needlework guild to supply all such
needs so that no child need be cold
or improperly clad this winter. The
Guild expects to work in connection
with the associated charities and also
with the superintendent and teachers
in the public schools. Any citizen
who knows Of a-child in need of cloth
ing should call Mrs Truitt and the
want will be speedily supplied.
The method of organizing needle
work guilds the country over is the
same A chairman appointed by the
national board is named in a given
community. She selects from sixteen
to twenty captains, who in turn SOL
icit from ten persons two contribu-
lions each. When the permanent or
ganization is effected the captains
become directors and all contributors
become members.
These contributions may be in cash
or in any new article of wearing ap-
parel for children or grown ups. Re-
Gently two fine wooden serge dresses
for girls of college age were donated.
These were not displayed in the win
dow.
No article will be sent out of the
immediate community. They will all
be given out here in the region where
they were gathered.
A number of persons who are serv-
ing as directors are out of the city
at the present time, and the list of
articles received is therefore not
complete.
at is extremely gratifying said
Mrs. Truitt, 'to observe the splendid
response which has been universally
made to our request for new articles
Every one has given so generously
that it is really great inspiration
to carry on the work. When the
directors gathered around the table
last Saturday to display the con-
tents of the bundles which had been
turned in by the many members, the
sight was perfectly wonderful. Such
a fine collection of useful and COM
Portable garments. | am sure the
children of Moscow who might have
gone cold this winter will be com
Portable. I feel that every donation
will serve very worthy purpose,
and will be given to some child
really in need of the donation. We
are very grateful to the Moscow
public for answering the appeal so
whole heartedly and so enthusiastic
ally"
