ASSISTANCE NEEDED Has your contribution yet been made through the Council of Social Agencies to the Helping Hand and to the American Wo man’s Hospitals? These contri butions furnish the only cash which the Public Welfare Depart ment assisted by the Helping Hand can use in securing needed food, fuel and clothing for the destitute and the only support which the American Women’s Hospitals has in carrying on its pre-natal and post-natal clinics throughout the county for.under privileged mothers. Without your contributions the Helping Hand in its work and the American Women’s Hospitals in its clinical work, carried on throughout the county by Dr. John Z. Preston as sisted by Public Health nurses, would collapse, thus resulting in an untold amount of destitution, suffering and probably death. What better Home Defense work can any one do' than to help keep a measure of health and some de gree of contentment among the helpless of our own county? The Council of Social Agencies, is hoping to secure a total of $1,500 to keep these two vitally needed organizations functioning and the amount received to date is far from the goal. Checks or sub scriptions should be made out to the “Polk County Council” and mailed to Miss Mae Irene Flentye, Treasurer, Tryon, N. C., RED No. 1. Envelopes thus addressed re quire a two-cent stamp. The weather on Thursday reg istered 33 low, 50 high and rain .03.
