Mrs. Bruce Craven
Makes Appeal For
Needy Of Randolph
Would Like To Have Donations
Of Clothing To Be Distribut
ed Among These Folks.
An earnest appeal has come from
Mrs. Brace Craven, head of the wo
men's work in Randolph county, for
dothinff of all kinds. Mrs. Craven
explains that the allotment for such
items has been cut and that the
sewing project has not, as yet, been
approved, therefore the need is very
great It is hard to realise the
actual want existing in Randolph
county and Mrs. Craven cites many
inntanffo where clothing must be
supplied in some way. There are
small boys plowing in the fields with
winter coats on because they have
no shirts. There are several ex
pectant mothers who have come un
der her attention who have no cloth
ing whatever for the new arrival.
There are men and women and
children, who are in rage—a condi
tion that has not existed in Ran
dolph so widely before—and to whom
discarded clothing would be a Mess
ing. An old lady, more than 80, is
very much in need of a mattress—
a discarded mattress would be bet
ter than what she has.
The welfare department wfll call
for the clothing and place the things
as best they can. Your cooperation
is urged at this time.
