to collect clothing, shoes, hose, etc.
If you have anything that you can
pass on to some one who needs it
get it ready The ladies will collect
it Friday. The clothing will be taken
to w. l.. Philips store and placed up
stairs. From there it will be given
out to those in need. Those pants and
coats you've been saving to make
rugs of give them to someone who
needs them worse than you do. Those
who are doing charity work have
more calls for help than they can fill.
If all will lend helping hand, many
children who are out of school for
lack of clothing can be supplied, the
sick and needy helped and all feel
that they have helped in worthy
cause.
