OVERSHOES AND RUBBERS WANTED AT LEND-A-HAND
    Anyone who has discarded children's overshoes and rubbers which have been outgrown are asked to leave them at the Lend-A-Hand club, for the foreign children who come to the classes there on Saturday afternoons.
    Many of the little ones came to the building last Saturday, from Cook's Point, without overshoes or rubbers and with very little sole on their shoes. One mother came from Cook's Point after her three children and she was so thinly clad that the cold had penetrated thru until she was suffering severely. She was furnished with a coat by the club before returning to her home.
