in their attempt to rob the

Legion to Make Drive for
Relief of Needy

" A relief drive has been planned by
the local post of the American Le-
gion, and the material gathered
will be used for distribution among
the needy.
"The drive is not for money par
ticularly," Edward c. Lawrence,
member of the committee, stated,
"but for clothing, food, and anything
that might be used to better the con-
ditions of those people who have
been unfortunate"
The present plan calls for cards to-
be placed at a number of stores,
with a small box nearby. People
having any clothing, food, etc., will
write their names and addresses on
the card. These cards will be collec-
ted at stated periods, and automo-
biles will traverse the town gathering
the material. Members of the Oak
land Bog Scout troop will assist in
gathering the donations. 1t is
planned to begin the drive about the
first of the year.
