Tomorrow Tag Day Aids Luthern Home Orphans
Tomorrow marks tag day to raise funds for the Luthern Home orphans with 300 volunteers collecting. Last year about $3000 was raised and organizers hope to match it as 55 children, 35 years in operation, rely on community support in Joliet. Headquarters will be in the basement of the Will County Bank Building. The tag day committee is chaired by H A Hanson with members including Mrs Thomas Flint Mrs H W Roehl Mrs Edward Young and several others.
