Needy Families to Be Remembered

Needy Families to Be Remembered
A group of workers from the Wo-
mems Christian Service Society of the
local Methodist church, under the
leadership of Mrs. Eugene Green
valid, is planning to distribuate APP
proXimately forty Christmas baskets
to needy families in this community.
Requests for the names of needy fam
lilies have been made to the social
workers of the Welfare Board in this
section and to the teachers of the
graded and rural schools in the neigh
borhood of Friendsville. Persons in
private life have also been asked to
furnish information relative to this
matter.
In addition to the family name,
a request has been made for the num-
Der, age and sex of the children in the
families. This information is needed
since practically all the baskets will
be made up of clothing for the sew
eral members of the families. Funds
have been raised for the project by
private subscription, a rummage sale
and a contribution coming from the
local lodge of Knights Of Pythias.
1t is planned to distribuate the baskets
on or before December %. Members
Of the Pythian lodge will assist the
members of the society in the distri-
button.
