GOOD FELLOWS SEEKING
FUNDS TO AID NEEDY
DURING YULE SEASON
An appeal by the Good Fel-
lows of Shamrock for dona-
tions to be used in helping
brighten the Christmas holi-
day for the underprivileged
families of the community has
met with little response, said
F.nb Roach, Sr„ chairman of
the program.
Funds are needed to buy
Christmas dinners for families
who otherwise would have lit-
tle food on Christmas. The
food is delivered along with
toys which are donated by the
publie and repaired by Sham-
rock Volunteer Firemen.
The Good Fellows organiza-
tion was one of the agencies
supported through the South
Wheeler County United Fund
before it was discontinued ear-
lier this year.
Donations may be deposited
at the First National Bank,
