Methodist Store House
Helping Those In Need
Br MARLENE BENSON
Newt Editor
The Cooleemee Methodist
Church Store House started ap
proximately two years ago as
a project within the church to
help people who have had the
misfortune of losing all their
in fires.
A committee was appointed in
the church to start "the ball
rolling." Ed Hoyle was selected
to work with Mrs.
Elsie Carter, Mrs. Irene
Bollard, Pat Galls, J. G.
Crawford, Chick Alexander and
Claude HartadL
Since that time, people from
all over the community have
donated good used clothing,
shoes, household furnishings and
anything that might be need to
someone who is completely
without
The church has set aside the
first Sunday in each month aa
a day for the congregation to
contribute to a Store House
Fund. This may be used for
groceries, doctor Mils and many
"sra-wtIRS&*
to date by the appointed com
mittee and people of the
fSfjhnrtb* Church. Clothing is
kept in accordance with the
changing of the seasons.
There are racks, similar to
those in department stores, fill
ed with all sizes of clothes and
everything from winter coats
and woolens to summer clothes
and lingerie. The shoe rack is
lined with very nice shoes for
men, women and children.
There is something that anyone,
from the baby to the
largest man, in any family oould
use and would be proud to wear.
Several months ago, someone
asked one of the members of
the church, "Is this the church
you go to when your house burns
down?"
They did not know the name
of the Cooleemee Methodist
ChUrch, but they did know that
a Church in Cooleemee helped
people in need. Since that time
the Store House has helped at
least 16 families and twice in
August'gave to needy children
who were to start to school this
fall.
"You never realise what a
wonderful feeling it can be to
help someone who needs it so
badly "and to see the joy on
the faces of small children that
have had the misfortune of loos
ing everything they own," ex
plained Canter.
"We have been rewarded
many times in so many ways.
Some of the families we have
helped even borrowed clothes to
wear to the Store House to be
fitted in f"" 1 * of their own."
Maybe wft don't value used
shoes or used clothes, but we
would if (fisaster hit us. We
would if we smdled our only
pair of shoes burning. We would
if we watched the smoke rise
from all of our clothes. This
Store House has helped so many
people in various ways.
Chairman Ed Hoyle gives
most of the credit to Elsie
Carter and Irene Hellard for the
back-breakir.s work they have
done to make this a successful
project.
They plan to send some
clothes to some poverty stricken
families in the mountains, but
say that they will always have
enough to take care of anyone
who may need it in the
area.

book lying in the road.
Something was said about stopping to see about
what it contained but they thought at the same •
lime that it was a trick poeketbook with a string
tied to it. Somehow, though, Bobby had to do
• U-turn and waited several tines of traffic to
again pass back by the poeketbook tying in the
iftnray.
This time Bobby stopped and picked it up.

with a lot of money to be exact, one thousand

going through an answering service, the owner
was finally located in Kensington. Bobby went to
the home of the lady who had lost the poeketbook.
She was a doctor's wife who had Just moved from
New York state to their present address.
The people offered Bobby a liberal reward but
lit said no, but gave them his business card, and
