Lawrence Boy Scouts Lead Large Relief Clothing Drive
Volunteers in Lawrence organized a major relief clothing collection at the Community Building with long tables and packed garments into cartons donated by the Lawrence Paper factory. Donations arrived from residents as shoes, handbags and toys were separated for later processing at regional or national headquarters in New York City. Mrs. James Boerwinkle praised the clothing quality, noting some items were unworn or lightly worn. A humorous misstep occurred when a Scout delivered someone’s laundry by mistake. Trucks continued to bring in donations, and discarded cartons will be salvaged for sale to local second hand paper dealers.
