Rev. A. w. Ayers, pastor of the
Congregational church at Bonnie
Terre, was in lockwood the first of the
week looking after some work for the
Home Service branch of the Rec
Cross. Rev. Ayers says that one OF
the real problems of the work of this
organization is to locate families that
have moved from town to town. Some
times the name of family and of a
town become mixed up until it is very
difficult to locate either. The head
quarters of the local organization
here at lockwood is DR.. Mckenzie
office, and this office will be open on
Monday as usual and there will be
somebody there to look after the
work. If there is anything about the
work that is not thoroughly under
stood by the local organization, the
committee in charge of the work will
do well to get into touch with Rev
Ayers.
