Relief sewing plan aids Kimberly children in need

The Relief Committee of Kimberly Mine Local Union No. 3905 launched a sewing project to provide school clothing. Sixty two children received outfits costing about 15 cents each, with remnants, flour sacks, and donated cloth repurposed into dresses and garments. About a dozen women helped, sewing and bleaching supplies, while others donated cash. The program operates alongside school needs, uses five sewing machines, and aims to clothe all local children through winter. Financial and volunteer support have drawn broader interest for replication in nearby districts.
