Goodwill Industries
Practice Interuciul
Cooperation 40 Years
By M. E. Dickinson

Among the many things which
WAR does to the human race is to
teach the real meaning of certain
words such as: handicapped, re-
Mobilization, interracial and good
will. These words have been the
very essence of Goodwill Industries
for forty years.
In it's devotion to the interracial
element in its program, the Mime
apolis Goodwill Industries cite Mrs.
Ollie Lindsay, 3511 Smelling Avenue,
as an example of it's worth. Mrs.
Lindsay has given four years of
faithful service, never missing a
day, appreciative of the daily
Chapel Services and other privil-
eyes, working in harmony and CO.
operatively with the other workers
She has become expert in her line,
which is sorting and cutting the tons
of clean garments for the ten diff
ferent classifcations in one of the
most remunerative departments.
The buttons she has saved have
been another source of income to-
ward the wages of herself and the
one hundred other workers, 81 per
cent of whom are handicapped.
Mrs. Lindsay has one son who has
received a medical discharge from
the Army. He is proud of his
mothers devotion to a cause which
believes in Interracialism and Good
will.
