HT 17 S us during the year 1939. results for all concern Shoe Demand is Great; Used Shoes Needed Adequate Footwear for All Needy School Children Dependent on Bringing In Used Shoes The snowfall has brought greatly increased need for shoes for school-' children a demand that should be met before the opening day of school next week. The American Legion Community Building Club has undertaken to see that, no child is forced to miss school on account of lack of adequate foot wear. Obviously, however, it will be impossible with limited resources to supply new shoes or overshoes to each needy boy and girl. The cost would be prohibitive. However, in years past, a plan has been carried out that made available to the greatest possible number the benefits of the Club's generosity namely, the collection and repair of many pairs of outgrown and partly-worn-out shoes and overshoes. The cost of repairing these Is not nearly so great as buying new ones and thus a much greater number of children can be served. To date the response to the appeal to turn in these outgrown and re pairable shoes, rubbers and over shoes at Wescott's store or Conis Shining Parlor has not been nearly as great as in former years. The request is again made, in the hope that everyone having footwear of this kind, will take the time to hunt it up NOW and bring it in at once. It Hakes time to repair and sort the contributed footwear, and on the opening day of school many applicants w ill have to be disappoint ed unless this is done. New footwear will be purchased to supply missing sizes, but used and re paired shoes will be issued whenever possible in order to make the avail able funds perform the greatest pos sible good. Club expenditures the last winter of its free shoe program amounted to more than $125.00 and that much or more will be available again this year rbut unless there is greater re sponse to the request for used and outgrown footwear, that will not be nearly enough. Interested citizens can help very materially by seeing that. this is done at once. With your aid along this line, the Club will be able to make good its pledge to see that no child has to stay out of school because the parents can't and governmental agencies don't supply them. With colds and flu prevalent to such a large extent, it is doubly im portant that the health of such child ren be safeguarded and nothing will do more toward that end than the supplying of good, warm footwear. Won't you help now, by getting out the discarded shoes and bringing them to Wescott's store or to Ccnis Shining Parlor? MS. WILCOX IMPROVING C. E. Wilcox returned recently to his home on South K street, after being treated for a bone felon in Preston hospital in Lake Wort--, Fla.
