We take this opportunity to publicly
acknowledge the splendid co-operation

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.
