CLOTHING DESPERATELY NEEDED

centers, sizes 3 through 10.  Outgrown
but not worn out shoes can be used also.
Please call Betty if you have anything
suitable.
OPERATION DAMN
Jean Spangler reports that there are thirty-
eight teacher-students attending a special
drug abuse course entitled "Mental Health
in the Classroom," which began on November
third. We should be most encouraged at
the enthusiastic response to this course
which we hope will be the first of several
to be offered. Members of the auxiliary
agreed to provide refreshments for the
teachers during the fifteen minute break in
each three hour session.
Important date to remember: November 18,
7:30 p.m. WSJS television, Channel 12.
A special program on drug abuse.  Be sure
to tune in.
This is a continuation of our effort in
public education on drug abuse. A special
vote of thanks should be given to Jean
Spangler for her work in this program.
MOBILE MEALS
Anyone interested in helping with the
mobile meals program, sponsored by the
Council of Jewish Women? Hot meals are being
delivered five days per week to aging and
home-bound persons in the Greensboro area.
Volunteers are needed to help with the
delivery of food to these people who are
unable to prepare their own food and who
have no nne to help them.  If you cannot
drive, there may be other contributions
you can make.  Call 273-3691 and ask for
