Campfire Girls to Collect Gifts
November 26, 1950
Susanville Camp Fire Girls’ Thanksgiving project will be to collect small articles for the boys and girls of Aplemont, France.
The girls will collect from their friends and contribute themselves such articles as needles, knitting needles, crochet hooks, ribbons, buttons, pins and clasps, pencils, erasers, pads, stationary, correspondence cards, etc.
It is pointed out that yarn of any amount and color is an especially useful gift.
Susanville has been affiliated with Aplemont, France, a small town adjoining the big French port city of Le Havre which was badly damaged during the war, for two years through the work of the UNESCO council.
Friendship between the towns has grown through the exchange of small gifts, photographs and correspondence. The local 20-30 Club sent a CARE package to an especially needy Aplemont family last Christmas and will be sent a $10 CARE package to Aplemont each month next year.
The UNESCO Council will send a gift of athletic equipment to the school children of Aplemont this Christmas.
