Drive started for Kanawha Cottage bungalow funds drive
Appeals have gone out to 1 800 county boy and girl club members to raise funds for a Kanawha County Kanawha Cottage bungalow at Jacksons Mills Four H camp. County Agent T M McGovran announced that further appeals would follow if the first drive fails. A spring Good Will excursion spurred a subscription, with plans to have Four H members contribute a small sum and business leaders donation the rest. Poor farm and coal mine conditions have reduced prospects for large subscriptions as families struggle to keep homes amid mine closures and reduced work.
