To Meet Monday
Rfcoiitly Mri^. Thos. C. Price
wi-ote the Memorial Hospital in
Charlotte regarding the needs of
polio patients confined there. In
reply the management stated
that socks would be much appre
ciated. Mrs. Price put the matter
before her third grade class In
the city schools and they began
bringing socks, of all colors and
sizes to be sent to the polio pa
tients In the hospital and those
who might fall victim to this
dread dlse.ase.
These third grade children,
denying themselves little luxuries
that they formerly bought with
the spending money given them
by their parents, purchased and
brought to the school socks to be
sent to polio victims. Mrs. Price
this week mailed to the hospital
through the Junior Red Cross, 80
pairs of socks purchased by the
children in her third grade at a
cost of something over J20. This
was Indeed a most worthy ges
ture upon the part of the children
and is worthy of emulation.
