Store, 905 Rhode Island, provides clothing and furni-
ture to border-line cases at a nominal cost, and without
cost to those unable to pay. So far this year the League
Kitchen has canned over 12,000 quarts of produce for
the tables of needy families. In the Sewing Room about
3,000 garments have been made or repaired.

ceive Christmas baskets, emergency grocery orders,
clothing and furniture; transients are helped with meals
and lodging. Total attendance at Salvation Army meet-
ings in Lawrence last year was 19,922.
