GOOD FELLOWS FJBND (Contlu'.ied from Page One) rcu ntid reported the fatally to the township trustee, who provided them with fuel. The mother was found trying to ent down a tree for fuel ehen the committee called at the home. Many other conditions, some not quite as fiud, have been found. Merchants Reduce Prices The local merchants arc 1 co-oper-ating with the sorority nicely. Instead of donating cash to the fund, many of the merchants sell the clothing and toys to the sorority at great ly reduced prices. This makes the money go much farther and is appreciated just as much as It the liter* chants gave cash to the fund. The clothing and toys are being purchased by the committee and they will be distributed by Santa Claus oh Christinas eve. When the committee calls at th.- homes, and makes knoWs the purpose of the visit, the mothers are tilled with joy to know that their children, who they love as any mother loves her children, are to have a happy Christmas.
