material. Items such as furniture, dishes. household articles, papers and metal are to be laid aside. The bags and other material will be collected on “Good Turn Day.” It is emphasized by Mr. Lytle that “we take anything. In fact, we do take anything but ashes!” Twenty thousand housewives cooperated in the drive a year ago and contributed 15,000 bags of clothing, 2500 pieces of furniture, 75 tons of paper, metal, rubber and rags and many other articles.

Employs Handicapped

The agency is located at Fletcher ave and Noble st. and operates on the theory of “not charity, but 2 chance.” Seventy physically handicapped and elderly men and women are employed there and it is pointed out that this is their only means of self support as they are unable to find work in private industry. When donated articles are received at Goodwill Industries, they are sorted, clean and repaired and made to look “just like new.” All of this is done by the handicapped workers. The “new” goods then are sold through five stores operated by the agency and the money derived from these sales pays the wages of the handicapped workers. “The more articles donated to us, the more handicapped persons can be given employment,” Mr, Lytle said. He reports that the agency has been receiving an average of five applications a week from handicapped men and women who want to work.
