Explanation Made On
Girls’ Collection of Food
For Old Folks Home
just before press time explana-
tion was received concerning the
collection of lood for the Old EMlks
Home, and It would veem that the
old saying would apply— “All. is
well that ends waff/" Such 1* the
It seems that a troop ot Coleman
CUrl Seoul - instead of pulling the
"tricks: or treat” on local resident*
decided to request canned food for
the Old Folks- Home It was a won-
derful idea, and certainly one to
- cniour.'iee-.' The only hiujt was
that without advance publicity the
public didn't understand What was
going on. and it is reported that
there wa* some feeling afterwards
that the solicitation was really “a
Halloween trick.” Anyway, there
were numerous calls to the Old
Folks Home directors, and the ans-
wer was not readily available
A spokesman for the old Folks
Home makes the following explana-
tion . “ “
"None of the director* knew ol
the Girl Stouts' Intentions, nor
heard of their action* until after-
ward A* a matter of feel It seems
that this w»* done Friday night
and the seven case* of canned
good*, fruit juices, etc , were de-
livered to the Welfare League Home
on Saturday morning M
•When eontactod al first, the
directors explained that, they had
no knowledge of any such drive on
Officially undertaken any/ such
action, A spokesman for the direct-
ors said. We try to operate the
home so that tt will pay it* way, but
the Investment we have out there w
the reaul.t of tha generosity of, the
people of Coleman and Coleman
County. Without the kind feeling.,
and active support of thosc-folks
the existenr4 of the home ks we
now have It would be impo'sHe
and Its continued operation very
doubtful.” r
"Tin* director* feet very keenly
their obligation and respond bill!)*
to see that any fund* donated to
tb.f home are used to obtain full
value At the same time we feci
that we should be very quick to act
when we feel that someone may be
taking advantage of the kind feel-
ing that the public has for the
Welfare League Home "
"In this rase, none of the direct-
