CHARITY BOARD TO RECEIVE CLOTHING

Each Wednesday Afternoon at the Court Bouse—Other News of Charity Board. / Between the hours 0f,2 and 4 o’clock each Wednesday afternoon, a member of the relief committee of the Board of Organized Charities will be in the ladies’ rest room in the court house to receive donations of clothing and to receive reports of cases of need. lif you know of a case that should receive the attention of the Board of Charities please report at this time and place. People have been very kind in supplying us with clothing but doubtless many persons have much that we could use as soon as the weather gets cold.. '' When the hospital closed its doors it was necessary to convert some of the furniture into money as it was inconvenient to store, but it is hoped shat we may be able to secUre a room that can be fitted up to take care of emergencies and we have kept the linen that was donated. We hope to have articles published from time to time informing the public of what we are doing and hope to do. The regular meetings of the board are held on the first Monday night of each month in the office of the city mayor. Any case of need may also be reported at.this time.
