At the present time,
Gutshall family is still in
need of furniture and fur-
nishings but Mrs. Gifford
Gutshall still doesn’t have a
home in which to move with
her son, Robert, and her
daughter Beverly. Her hus-
band and daughter, Loretta
Mae are still on the serious
and critical list at the Lan-
caster Osteopathic Hospital
Therefore, she would appre-
ciate any furniture and fur-
nishings that persons wish to
give her but she hasn't any
storage place at the present
time. If persons will give
their names to any of the
three committeeemen, she
will contact them when she
either has storage place or
has a home.
In last week's Bulletin, it
was suggested that persons
call the Harvey Balmer home
on East Donegal Street to
tell Mrs. Gutshall about
available furniture. Since
that time the Balmer family
has moved to Rheems and
Mrs. - Gutshall has moved
with them temporarily.
