On May 10, another detachment of boys will go, and the emergency committee will again prepare a similar luncheon for the boys who leave on that date. All those who care to donate anything at all to the boys should notify Mrs. S. E. Hutton, phone 88, as soon as possible in order that the proper plans may be made sufficiently early. Telephone what you would like to donate by Wednesday evening at the latest, and deliver the donation on Thursday afternoon, May. A suggestion as to what will be acceptable may be gained from the list of the contents of the previous set of boxes. They contained loaf and layer cake, drop cookies of many varieties, candies, bars of chocolate, stuffed dates, figs, and oranges.
