How SCHOOL CHILDREN CAN HELP
The call for clothing, clean. and who'll
for the orphan children of Europe, ha
already met with some response in tn
Chapter. But there is still much NOR
to be collected, and it has been suggested
that the children of our schools be aske,
to bring at least one garment each, tha
they may have some personal share il
helping the suffering children whose con
dition the war has rendered indescribabl,
piJiable. Garments are needed for boy
and girls of all ages up to fourteen year
of age. The only requirements are tina
they shall be clean, whole, and of goo
wearing quality. The collection will b
taken in all the schools tomorrow, Fri
day, afternoon, and all parents who ca
do SO, are asked to provide their childre
with at least one garment apiece for thi
purpose. Outgrown dresses, suits, I'm
derwear, caps, coats, sweaters, mittens
ETC., will find grateful wearers in wa
| devastated lands; and the children a
home will be given lesson in sympath
: and helpfulness. Others who have gar
ments to contribute are asked to leav
them at Mrs. Carries store, or at tn
home of Miss Maude E. Mathews, Mrs
James C. Durham, Mrs. Ansel M. 10th
rop, Mrs. Clement W. Wescott, or Mis-
Annie V. Field. This is call to tn
: entire county. Will not other towns pla
school collections, or make some othe
definite arrangements to contribute
through church, or grange, or any or
ganization that can best attend to it.
