Boosting for Everything that is For the Good of Nappanee

Harvey Field. Prap.

Cold weather and a shortage of work combined is making the calls upon the United Charities for aid many and Nappanee is fortunate in having a set ot workers that know how to handle the situation. A call recently was made for old clothing by the officers in this work and to show the response to this call for aid a partial list or garments turned over to the committee and which in turn were given to families in need included the following: Several men’s suits, pants and underwear, 15 dresses, about 15 boy's suit.-. It sweaters, 10 pair boy’s pants, lo boy's overcoats, 15 pair of boy’s shoes, about 15 pair of boy’s overshoes, and 15 pair girl’s overshoes, 25 pair . hildren’s stockings, clothing for two babies, many dresses that were a little large but that could be made over for use, bedding, etc., and many little items of which no record was kept and in addition to this in some cases new .clothing was given where it was impossible to get something that would fit the one in need Every day calls are made upon the organization for coal, wood, and food, as well as for clothing and the ones doing this work are kept constantly on the go in taking care of. these calls. Even. work, is handled through this aegney and in some eases this is even more welcome than actual . gilts of clothing, or ; other necessities by many off -our people that through, the conditions of the tjimes are temporarily hard hit. if you have any work—permanent or temporary, that needs to be done, an odd job of any sort, something that will give a man or two a few hours work you are asked to get in touch with Mrs. M. S. Hoover, or Ralph Arnott, and someone will be supplied. This relieves the financial situation to just the extent that whatever is earned keeps down the amount of money spent in relief work. Rummage through the attic Or clothes closets .and you may have some garment that you or your children have outgrown and yet ''hick is good for many a days wear and either send it to Mrs. Hoover or notify her and someone will call lor it and thus something for which yon have nu luittiej use will give comfort t, another.
