Each Wednesday throughout the {
teacher associations of the city meet
at the rooms and repair and remodel
clothing which has been donated for
that purpose. Many times completely
new garments are made, and always
the clothing that is distributed is in
perfect condition and clean. For the
purchase of necessary new clothing

from the Community Chest; the Chest
funds are earmarked for shoes and
rubbers'
Member organizations contribute
money and clothing to the BEST OF
their ability. but it is a tremendous
task that we have set ourselves in
living up to the motto Of the commit

and can be mended. There is tele-

general scale.
