Clothes Closet
Supplies Gone

During the last three weeks the
Childrens Clothes closet has had a
greater demand for help on the part
of needy residents than during the
entire season, authorities have re-
ported, making a plea for aid since
all supplies are depleted.
ANY individual having clothing 10
spare is assured by the organization
that it will be put to a good use
since there are actually cases OF
children having no clothing at all.
Articles may be sent to the ele-
mentary schools where they will be
collected or to the cottage on Vine
street across from Harding school.
Reason for the sudden demand is
said by those in charge Of the or
ganization to be due to the fact
that there is less work available and
families have no money at all to use
for clothing.
