Evening Republican, Volume 23, Number 245, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 12 October 1920 — START DRIVE TO FILL COUNTY HOSPITAL CELLAR [ARTICLE]

START DRIVE TO FILL COUNTY HOSPITAL CELLAR

A movement has been launched under the auspices of the Home Economics Club of this city for the replenishing of the Jasper county hospital cellar with fruats for the coming winter months, and at the present time the various townships of the county are being organized for the drive through the selection of township chairmen and committees. Each person making a donation will turn same over to their township chairman who in turn will make arrangements for its transfer to the Co-Operative meat market in Rensselaer from which place it will be sent to the hospital. The fruit shower will be made on October 21st, 22d and 23rd, the week of the Jasper county live stock Show.

It is of mutual interest to everyone in the county to aid the Home Economics lady in this movement, and in the past the movement has always met with a ready response. While the donations asked for from each family is small, yet the aggregate is large, and in the past the hospital has always received enough fruit in this manner to last for several months, thus greatly lessening the expense of running the hospital. There can be no doubt of the success of the venture again this year if our people do their part. The Economics lady will call at the home of the township chairmen for the donations if the chairmen find it inconvenient to deliver the fruit to the meat market. The following have been selected as chairman of their respective townships: „ „ Keener, Mrs. Halleck, DeMotte. Wheatfield, Mts. Simon Fendig, Wheatfield. , , ’RafiWkeeyMrs. Albert Duggleby.
