Committee Needs Help
The office of the Dunn Christ
mas Cheer Committee has been
set up again in th* old Presbyter
ian Building on West Cumberland
Street, and will be open for bu
siness each day, except Sunday,
until Christmas Day.
Headed by the perennial leader
of this work, Wesley Coates, the

churches of Dunn as they try to
meet the pressing needs of citi
zens who are down on their luck,
and to extend aid to travelers who
are stranded or in need as they
pass through Dunn.
But ft is in December that the
Committee does the major portion
of its work. With the assistance
of the pastors and churches of
the town, plus the gifts and work
i of the merchants and business
men, and a great many of our
citizens, this Committee tries to
make sure that no family is with
out adequate groceries, fuel or
clothing at Christmas time. In ad
dition to this, the Committee seeks
to provide Christmas treats and
toys for children of unfortunate
families whose Christmas might

businesses of Dunn are invited to
donate to the Christmas Cheer
Committee as soon as possible.
Checks and gifts should be made
out and sent to Mr. J. N. Ste
phenson at the Commercial Bank
of Dunn. He is the treasurer of
the Committee and will handle
all funds. Gifts of groceries, fuel
and clothing, as well as toys, sh

clean and usable clothing should
be brought.
A telephone has been installed
