Fayetteville Receives Request for Good Children's Underwear, Dec. 4, 1922

Here’s How This City Can Help New Bern

By T.J. Revell

New Bern, Dec. 3—Carter Taylor, field director of the Southern Division, Red Cross, who tentatively took over the direction of relief work this afternoon in response to the question, “Can Fayetteville help in any way?” asked by a representative of The Observer, said:

“If Fayetteville could furnish a quantity of children’s underwear we could find plenty of use for it. But, if the citizens of your town should decide to help that way, please ask them not send ragged things, but underclothes that will keep children warm. Ask them also to see that they are clean, for as yet we have no facilities for laundering.”
