We take this opportunity to publicly acknowledge the splendid co-operation ember lllh , of $7.13. The subscriptions numttered 1234 in all, on which $44o.OO remains unpaid, and the officers of the local branch, W. H. Hollis, chairman; R. E. Dunlap, secretary, anil M. R. John son, treasurer, have labored tirelessly in making these collections and re mittances. Owing to the Forest Grove branch now being an independent branch, 25 i<er cent of all money remitted to the War Relief Fund is returned for use in roseruting the work here. This will used largely for the purchase of m aterials for the War Relief committee, for knitted garments, bandages, pa jamas, surgeons’ gowns, etc. Next week we will publish a complete and itemized list of all that has been shipped from the Forest Grove branch. A Christmas package has been sent from this branch to every man in the service from this town snil community, there being 125 in all. These packages weighed 4 pounds each and contained 1 lb. of sweet chocolate, 1 lb. raisins. 1-2 lb. figs, 2 cakes toilet soap. 2 hand kerchiefs, 2 packages of gum, 1 wash cloth. 1 package of envelopes and a writing tablet. The postage amounted to about $40.00, and the packages cost a little more than a dollar each. Doubt- leas these reminders of the ones at home “ who care” will be joyfully re ceived at Yuletide. when the boys are thinking longingly of the home hearth. Citizens of Forest Grove may well feel rejoiced that this splendid work has been done. OFFICIAL REPORTER. JOIN CROSS NOW!
