As a feature of the Thanksgiving season a number of Shelby and Cleveland county women are planning a Thanksgiving “shower” for the Shelby Public Hospital. In many communities and towns there is an annual custom of the entire county or town making a joint contribution or “shower” for some worthy cause. There is no custom of this kind here ad it is planned to make one of the hospital “shower.”
Those promoting the idea say that such contributions should include such necessities as linen of all kinds, vegetables and fruits, together with other actual requirements of the institution that is maintained for the health and welfare of Cleveland people. A list of things needed and where they may be delivered will be carried in a later issue of The Star. The date of the “Shower” is set for Wednesday, November 26. Those interested should begin to lay aside something in preparation for the event.
