Sponsor Bundle Days
Most Americans are shocked to
learn that many children in the

of the United States cannot at-
tend school regularly in winter
because they do not have ade-
quate clothing and shoes.
To provide clothing for chil-
dren and their families in under-
privileged areas of America as

well as to the victims of disas-
ter both at home and overseas,
students of McLeod School will

Parents, neighbors and friends

school in bags or cartons. It
will Ix? repacked for shipment.
Low heeled shoes and overshoes
ure especially requested. Also
needed are serviceable coats and
dresses, pants, underwear, socks,
shirts, sweaters, skirts, caps, blan
kets, sheets and baby clothes.
This year, conditions in the
Southern Mountains are especial-
ly acute due to unemployment
and floods. Clothing is desper-
ately needed to clothe school chil
dren as well as entire families.
Donated clothing is sent to the
Southern Mountains, where it is
made available through S C F
Clothing Centers, at very low
prices, thus enabling a poor but
proud people to maintain their
self-respect. Additional clothing
is distributed without charge,
through County Welfare and At-
tendance Officers to those who
cannot afford to pay. Clothing
is also stockpiled for emergency
disaster use in this country and
overseas.
The Donated Clothing Program
is an important part to Save the

First Shipment Of
Pine Seedlings Arrive
On Tuesday, December 2nd, the
first load of pine seedlings arriv-
ed in the Marion-Cass Soil Con-
servation District and were dis-
tributed to landowners. Tree
planters will plant at the rate of
750,000 trees per week until
March 10, 1959. Appriximately 10
million trees will be planted dur-
ing this period.
This 10 million trees that over
10,000 acres in the Marion-Cass
SCD will be protected from ero-
sion and will be producing an in-
come to the landowner in a few
years. Much of this land being
planted is land that is idle or
has become so eroded that it no
longer is economical to work.
Due to an increase in the Mar-
ion-Cass allocation of seedlings,
from the Texas Forest Service,
trees are now available for those
who have not placed their orders.
