rug making. of obtaining cloths for
auto cleaners and of the making of
rifle patches.
The board locates boys and writes
of their welfare to inquiring parents.
Any contributions of the above articles or of money for carrying on the
work can be sent to the director or to
any member by those who feel Interested in helpig the soldier who has
so recently left home surroundings
and care.
The director will gladly answer all
questions or speak in regard to the
work.
