MAGNIFICENT RESPONSE
FOR BUNDLE DAY
Great Amount of Clothing Collected Which
Rejoiced the Hearts of Many
‘school’ and seen mothers whose hus-

‘to Mr. and Mrs.
i
Truly we can “Hurrah for Meyers-
dale.” An announcement kindly given
front-page space in both of the local
papers of the town and emphasized
from all of the pulpits of the town
that Monday March 1st. would be
“Bundle Day” brought a magnifcent
response from the people in general.
Hundreds of bundles of clothing were
prepared by the good housewives of
our town and were efficiently collected
on Monday afternoon by the commit-
tee of Associated Charities appointed
for that purpose.
The clothing contributed was, for
the most part, clean and serviceable.
Articles of every kind were included
in the collection. Children’s clothing,
which is especially needed, was con-
tributed in great abundance. Some of -
the articles were so complete and in |
such excellent condition as to lead to
the surmise that the little ones who
had originally worn them had been
‘call i ly li os
called away from this earthly life be ‘rap at the door was not heard. Also, |
fore the little garments had served
their original purpose.Truly they were
many manifestations of unselfishness
and love on Meyersdale’s first “Bun- |
dle Day.” 4
If those who have contributed to the
work of our organization could have
been’ in the basement of the high,
bands have been sick for a long time
and ‘children - underfed and poorly
clothed, supplied with new outfits of
clothing—could have seen the joy and
gratitude written on their faces— they
would feel more than repaid for any
sacrifice they have made. Ne doubt
the knowledge that such joy is being
in Need.
brought to the needy will amply com-
pensate them, though they do not see
its manifestations.
The Charity organization wants
the people of Meyersdale to feel that
this is a work in which ‘the entire
community is intended to co-operate.
If there are those who are in need
whom the committees have overlook-
ed, any citizen has a right to lay their
case before Prof. Kretchman, who is
the president of the organization.
But it should be remembered that it
is no intention of the organization to’
assist .professional beggars or to en-
courage the lazy and the dissipated.
Children and the worthy who are in!
need will be gladly given aid, but the
unworthy will find the safeguards of
the organization ironclad. !
It is likely that some were missed .
when the collections were made on |
Monday. At some houses the families |
were out and at others, no doubt, the !
some who want to contribute, live so
far from town that the wagons could
not make collection at their homes. If.
there are those who were missed of
who yet desire to contribute either |
food or clothing, if their contribution |
|is sent or taken to the high school
building, the Charity organization will ;
use its committees and its knowledge.
izens’ ‘National Bank, is the treasurer |
of the organization, and will receive
contributions of money.
‘With Sincere Thanks,
THE ASSOCIATED CHARITIES.

ENTERPRISE SUPPLY C0
ROBBED AT GARRETT
About 1:30 o’clock on Friday morn-
ing several Italians entered the store
of the Enterprise Supply Company,
of Garrett, through a rear window
and packed up several suit cases and
boxes with goods, but were frustra-
ted in their attempt to get away with
their booty.
While working they came in con-
tact with a burglar alarm which rang
a bell in the home of Bruce Walker,
one of the proprietors, who was out of |
town. Mrs. Walker fired several shots
from a revolver which aroused the
neighbors. W. S. Merril, the other pro-
prietor, whose home was nearby, was
also, away, but his son began firing,
in the direction of thes tore, when
two men came out of the back window
and a little later a third man.
The first two went up along the B.
& O. railroad track and the third, not
other two, went up Walker street and
by following the latter’s tracks in the
snow, the men were captured. The
tracks led to a boarding house run by
Frank Elderadi and on the stairs were
found tracks of fresh snow. Four men
were found in bed, but strange to say
were fully dressed with fresh snow
on their trousers and shoes. They in-
sisted that they had retired at 11 o’
clock.
Search was made and stolen goods
were found. The men with the board-
ing house keeper were taken to the
lockup. The houses nearby of several
friends of the prisoners were also
searched and in one was found a
sweater from the Enterprise Supply
store and in another were found stools
to set a casket on, which later were
found to have been stolen last autumn
from Undertaker Tressler who identi-
fied them.Six of the men were taken to
the Somerset jail on Friday to await
trial.
The Enterprise store has been rob-
bed frequently in the past several
months. The men who have been ar-
rested have been: living near Garrett
for several years. and it is thought
that court evidence will acount for the
earlier robberies. 7
