OLD CLOTHES
FOR NEAR EAST

Today is Clothing Day.
Not only Augusta, but her neigh
Dor city. Gardiner. Will devote the
day to final ransaCking of the at
tics. and to assembling al the old
clothing that by hook or crook can
he discovered in them. Closets will
be gone over. too. to see if some Of
the articles of clothing they contain
cannot be conscientiously discarded
so that they may be presented to the
Near East Relief.
Every schoolhouse in this city and
Gardiner will today be thrown open
for the receipt of bundles Of clothing.
The Near East Relief has under
its care $4,000 orpha-.ed wards in
Near Eastern countries. 1t is also
Gffording assistance to thousands of
refugees from Turkey until they can
find shelter and means of self SUI
port in distant countries.
Conditions among these refugees
are appalling. Men, women and
children are without clothes. Boys
and girls in the Near East orphan
supplies for America for the warm
the bitter winds of next winter.
The cause is worthy one: so
worthy that at the recent diocesan
convention of the Episcopal church
it received the warm endorsement Of
the Episcopals of Maine. Not even
money gifts are of greater value
than these gift of old clothing,
which can be contributed without
conspicuous sacrifice.
Every man, woman or child in
Augusta who has a discarded gar
ment that is wearable is urged to
take it to the nearest schoolhouse
today, and contribute il to the work
Of the Near East Relief.
