consciousness Of duty well performed.
AS always there Is urgent need for
help in our Student Aid work. It is
now q well-known fact that more
calls for assistance are being received
this year than ever before; our stocks
of usable clothing are being diminished
rapidly and in many instances are
entirely gone. Clothing Of all kinds Is
needed, but especially that suited for
larger boys and girls-those who have
reached the junior and senior high
school ages. We all know how boys
of our own somehow wear out cloth
ing-nothing seems strong enough or
durable enough to Withstand their
activity for long. Boys less fortunate
financially are just as active and just
as hard on their clothing as are our
own and where frequently they are
supplied with partly worn-out gar
ments, replenishment is needed more
often.
Therefore, this appeal is directed to-
ward the restocking of our Student Aid
room. If each one of our members
will 20 through cupboards and closets
searching out usable clothing and will
send or bring her find to the Student
Aid headquarters in the Park View
School, q definite service will be done
for our boys and girls. But please see
that the clothing is clean.
Then, in addition to the clothing
there is always need for women who
can sew to help with the work OF
mending and rehabilitating clothing
which has been sent it. The rooms
are open every Wednesday during the
school year and the Park View School
can be reached by either the Georgia
avenue car line or by bus.
Another way in which service can
be given in this task Of keeping chill
dren in school is by cash contributions
to the Student Aid Fund. Frequently
it is necessary to purchase new CLOTH
ing for children and as our Com
munity Chest funds are "earmarked"
for shoes and rubbers, none Of that
money can be spent except as indi-
Gated.
From the above brief outline of our
Student Aid need it can readily be
seen that there is ample opportunity
for all of our workers to render a
definite service to children. Let's not
fail in this voluntary program.
