Donations for Sick at
Oteen
The Hickory canteen will be open Thursday afternoon from 4
to 6 to receive contributions for sick soldiers at Oteen. The box to be packed
this time is for Ward R-7, and word has been received that the boys are hungry
for home-made biscuits, as they get very tired of baker’s bread. Candy,
cookies, cake, fruit, flowers, new magazines, etc., are welcome in the wards of
these sick solders whose lunghs have been diseased through mustard gas, and
whose hearts are pining for that personal touch. Pathetically so, is the report
of those who have visited the hospital.
The colored women of the town are also interested in supplying
the colored soldiers with the little luxuries that help to lighten their lives
of isolation from home, and will supply the same articles listed above for
their boys. All will be taken care of by the Canteen ladies.
Remember the hours—Thursday afternoon from 4 to 6.
