Relief Committee Request
The Coquille Relief committee is
now prepared to furnish labor for odd
jobs around the home or place in ex
change for money, provisions or other
acceptable supplies. Payment for such
work done must be made to the com
mittee, who in turn will compensate
the laborer with the necessities ot
life, flour, groceries, clothing or
whatever is needed.
Requests should be phoned to the
relief committee headquarters in the
Sentinel bunkiing (Ed Kreiger
promised to have a phone installed
there today) or application may be
made to Penny Sturdivant, investi
gating member of the relief commit
toe.
And it may not come amia* to again
request that all aplpication* for
charity by itinerants should be re
ferred to the committee.
The full
co-operation of the public in this
matter will insure that none except
those who ar* willing to work for
what they get will bother to stop in
Coquille.
