ing to bo made on next Sunday ar
ternoon.
Officers Of the Rotary received re.
quests from the charities of the City
stating that these organizations were
receiving many applications tor
clothing Of every character and that
they could not supply the demand.
Much suffering, this information
stated, has resulted here because of
clothing shortage among the poor
Of the city and because the organized
charity workers have an insufficient
supply. ''
Eric suderman, Arthur G. Schults
and Otis ]. Halowell were named az
a committee to handle Rotary's drive
for clothing. This committee re-
ported today that after personal
investigation into conditions, It Ia
found that the statement OF the
charitable organizations have put
the situation mildly anl that great
quantity OF clothing that has been
cast off by the more fortunate and
well-o-do people of the city would
serve greatly to lessen actual suffer
ing among the poor of the city.
1t was stated that many children
were found to be shivvering in thu
cold, because they have insufficient
clothing. Cases have ben found where
children are going without shoes.
because their parents have no money
with which to buy shoes. Poorly aud
inadequately clad women, according
to these reports are washing for d
few dollars a week to feed their
children.
In view of these conditions, Rotary
has asked that Chickasha people
help, by donating such articles as
they can spare. 1t is estimated that
II every family In Chickasha that u
Able to do so, will make the dona-
tions asked, Chickashas poor will 10

Officers of Rotary pointed out
that the book campaign staged by
the Rotary club last Spring, for the
benefit of the inmates of the Granite
reformitory, was huge success,
owing to the cooperation of Chick
asha people. Nearly two tons Of
books and magazines were collected
in that drive. Rotary hopes that the
people will again cooperate and
make the donations of clothing as
they donated books.
