To Help Mission
In order “to make a 'astinp
Christ mas present for the Bap
tist Mission”, Chester Clark has
issued a call for 20 volunteer
carpenters and laborers who will
work tomorrow to build storm
porches on the mission buildings
and repa r the toad there
Because he has seen how hard
it is f*r the men who run the
Mission to get repair work done
along with their other jobs, Mr
Clark has taken the initiative in
offering his services and seekinn
those of others qualified to help
him
Besides the workmen, he
wants dump trucks and a bull
dozer, and cash contributions tc
puichase hui.dmg materials.
‘ All the improvements neces
sary can be made in a few hours
t>y a lew men woiking together,”
he explained
Men who wi li tc volunteei
should con'act Mr. Clar^ at the
Polar Bear Cafe, and those whe
wish to make donations should
leave them at the same place.
