such and distributed. The call is not
only for used garments OF wearing
apparel but for bedding, including
mattresses, sheets, slips, comforters
and blankets if there are those who
have such that they teel they can
contribute.
In the used articles, even shoes
and hosiery will be acceptable for
the work, as there are many cases
where these are needed both for
adults and for the children. And it
is the children that are giving the
Red Cross the keenest concern Just
now. Among the needy there are
said to be number of little people
who can not protect themselves
against the chill of the morning and
their parents are not financially able
to do so.
The plan of the workers is to have
the people who are willing to make
contributions to this cause call Mrs
E. I. Agnew by telephone-telephon
499-and give her the name and
address. She will make record OF
the fact and on Wednesday one OF
the automobiles will call for the
goods. Owners of automobiles can
contribute in the service OF their cal
for the work of assembling the goods
too.

Lieutenant c. w. Davies, on his way

NEED GARMENTS
FOR RED CROSS
WORK FOR POOR

Final details OF the plans of the
Douglas chapter OF the Red Cross are
completed for the effort that will be
put forth on next Wednesday, Deem
ber %, in gathering bedding, clothing
and money for use of the chapter
in taking care of the poor and needy
people in the community both in
keeping their bodies warm and we'll
The funds will be used in necessary
work and the garments and bedding
will be distributed among those who
have not the necessary articles OF
the sort to keep them warm even
in this Arizona climate.
Recent surveys made under the di-
rection of the Red Cross workers
indicate that there is a larger need
than ever before for the type OF
articles mentioned. There are more
people here and apparently the need
is somewhat larger than in previous
years. This is explained on the basis
that during the last IL months ;%ere
have been many additions to the
population from other sections of the
country and they arrived without
sufficient funds to meet the need for
their support during period OF I'M
employment.
1T is the plan of the Red Cross
to gather the articles IN one day
and to assemble them at the grammar
school building where a room has
been assigned to that work. There
the articles will be sorted and allotted
to the workers for the cases needing

part in this work. Their interest
is to be enlisted and their efforts
directed by D. G. O'Neil, member
of the active committee and one Of
the leaders in the Red Cross activities
in Douglas. .g,...... ,....
Between now and the day after
Christmas, the committee suggests
that people take look through the
closets and attic and discover what
articles they may have available and
then call telephone 499 and get on
the list of helpers in this work.
