Ten-year old Charlotte hates to ask for things, but she is desparately in need of clothes so she can go to school this year.

The dreadful tuberculosis stalked into their household some time ago and now there are four cases of it in the family. The father has been a patient at Battey State Hos pital. No one in the family works and the only income is the State Aid to Dependent Children, which was recently reduced. In addition to the three school-age children, there are two younger ones, a bouncing little boy, age 2, and a little five-year old girl. They need clothes too. Os course Charlotte isn’t the real name of the little ten year-old school girl, but regardless of her name, she needs help—help that perhaps you can give. There is another family just as badly in need of help— four young school age boys will have to have some pants, dungarees or overalls, and shirts and shoes before they can continue in school. Their two sisters, also don’t have enough clothing to keep them warm during the bitter winter months ahead. The father of these children is now at Battey. Their only income too, is the small ADC check every month. If you have some clothes you want to give, contact either of the following persons: Mrs. Emmett Clarkson, Chairman of the County TB Association; Mrs. Agnes Hammond, Treas urer, the Association; or Mrs. Baker Farrar, Rehabilitation Chairman of the Association. Clothes needed are as follows: shirt, size 16: boys shoes, size 7; pants, size 16; shirt, size 12; boys shoes, 6*/ 2 : pants, 12; girls dresses, size 10; girls shoes, size 4; clothing for a two year old boy and a five-year old girl.
