Oyercoats Given to Veterans

A committee was appointed by Will
lizard A.. Balloon Post, 213, to purchase
100 overcoats and supply them to the
needy former service men. Two eve
nings were devoted to the disposition
of the overcoats. A committee in
charge demanded to see the discharge
papers of the men or other credentials
which would show that they had served
in the war.
The committee made it plain that
only those who were really in need
would receive the coats. The appli-
cants were examined in an effort to
determine their financial status.
Among the applicants was disabled
veteran who had been awarded the
Croix de Guerre. Another was vet
eran who has been unable to get en-
ployment and who was barely able to
provide enough food for his family.
Those who served on the committee
included E. Skillman, G. Boday,. P
Rivers, A; Forbach, Charles ,,sd;ol staufen; n
Mason and C., Saunders.
