Mrs. T. S. Meekins, Chairman of

“‘Up to this date there has been
very little response to the request
that you have read in your paper
and heard over the radio to help
us meet our goal—to provide usu
able clothing for all ages and sexes
for people in Dare County in need
of these usuable garments.
Again, we woull like to urge
you to assist in this campaign. The
drive will end April 28, 1952, and
we shall appreciate your bringing

and in good repair—to the Welfare
Department on or before that date.
Let’s help in providing clothing
for the needy people of Dare Coun
ty.”
