Crippled Children

Announcement has been released
through Mrs. Delina Carlson, su-
pervisor of the local Junior Club
of the A. o. u. W., to the effect that
a Little Red Heart Tag Day" will
be put on in this city Saturday,
September %, for the benefit of the
Shodair Crippled Children's Hos
pital located at Helena but carrying
on a statewide orthopedic service.
For several months the local chap
ter has been doing various things
for the children at the hospital
sending games, books, also sewing
and preparing hospital supplies. 1t
was voted that all the Junior Clubs
in the state continue this work to-
gether on one project, namely the
putting on of the Heart Tag Days.
Therefore, on September % the
boys and girls of the Junior Club
in Is different towns will be busy
selling the little red hearts, doing
their part to help these children
