Larger Quarters Needed.
A few months ago the organiza-
ton made its bow to Washington, set
ting first in small quarters on Mount
Vernon place. Activities increased so
that larger quarters were needed. and
the agency settled next at 924 Fifth
street. Ground-floor space, 100 by 20
feet, and about as much more divided
between two upper floors, is serving
the agency at present, but larger quar-
ters are now being sought on Seventh
street, in addition to retail outlet
on Wisconsin avenue
With pledge of $500 from the
Talma L. Smith Bible Glass of Mount
Vernon NJ E. Church South, the in
dustries purchased a shoe repairing
machine, thereby giving employment
to at least two workers here and
making possible the repair of the
hundreds of pairs Of shoes which
have been donated.
Under Barr's direction, two trucks
cover the city on regular routes to
pick up discarded furniture and
clothing. Their renovation takes place
under 'Grady, who also supervises
their sale or their barter in exchange
for services. Nothing is given away
but the cash prices are low and the
required work neither long nor ex-
hausting.
No facilities are yet available for
feeding or housing needy persons al
though it is hoped that the enlarged
quarters and increased working funds
will make such services possible. As
sisting the three men already men
toned here in the work are Mrs.
Thomas, wife of the superintendent;
Miss Kathleen Mathews, secretary,
and Mrs. Norma Wilson, bookkeeper.
