Goodwill Industries of Greater
Detroit, employer OF 400 hanui-
capped men and women, depends
upon contributions of dlscards
to keep its program alive. With
more than million-dollar pay
roll last year and one equally
large this year. Goodwill wei
comes practically everything a
householder wishes to give.
Every da, tons of raw material
are needed to keep It's workers
on the job.
II materials are not repairable
when they reach the Goodwill
plant, they are sold as salvage.
Occasionally there are oddities
which can neither be repaired
nor sold as salvage.
This week topped all others
with incredible items.
In exssperation, a mother ask
ed the Goodwill truck driver who
came 10 pick up her bag Of cloth
ing disesrds IL he would take the
bvrIsp bag on the floor beside
il.
Must be something alive in
here" thought the driver as nc
watched the dancing heap of bur
lap. He peered inside---and
there was a boys pet rooster
He brought 1t to Goodwill
Destination? Unknown!
In the mail day or two later,
thoughtful housewife sent a
shoulder strap belonging to
swim suit she had sent some
time ago.
Rarest of all was the request
today for a pickup of a mounted
two-headed calf If the calf hac
been real, honest-to-goodness
meat, Goodwill could possibly
have arranged a barbecue for
its employees.
Among other funnies reaching
Goodwill in the past were live
goat-and a pot of ready-to'
eat stew. The stew was returned
the same day to hungry, sur
prised family for their evening
meal
Fair-or-foul, that's the qucs
tion. And ii must be determined
by Goodwill Industries, the um
pire in such cases, with the good
of its workers in mind. Generally
the answer is fair" with just an
occasional foul dowD.
