P.B.H. CLOTHING DRIVE WILL BEGIN ON MONDAY

EDWARD T. LADD '38 WILL CONDUCT CAMPAIGN

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

An intensive campaign for the collection of old clothes, text books, and magazines will get under way Monday morning when Phillips Brooks House will commence its annual fall drive in all departments of the University.

All Solicited

Every resident of the Houses and all college dormitories will be visited personally by representatives of Brooks House at this time. In accordance with the custom of previous years, contributions of clothing will be distributed between the American Red Cross, the Grenfell Mission, and a group of needy persons and families in Cambridge who have been recommended by the Cambridge Welfare Society.

Special emphasis is being placed this year on the solicitation of text-books which will be placed in the loan library of Phillips Brooks House. Old magazines are distributed to settlement houses and hospitals.

Ladd Chairman

A Brooks House representative has been appointed in every entry in the Houses and other college living quarters and will personally contact every one in his entry. Edward T. Ladd '38, chairman of the drive, urges that every one who has something suitable to give make an effort to get in touch with the representative in his entry.

The following men have been appointed to supervise the clothing drive in the Houses: Harold W. Danser, Jr. '38, Adams House; George W. Blackwood '38, Dunster House; Edward T. Ladd '38, Eliot House; Robert P. Bentley, Jr. '39, Leverett, and Lyman B. Burbank '39, Winthrop House. Representatives for Lowell and Kirkland Houses are yet to be appointed.
