the same few people are return customers to the swap shop in the This is well and good but not the original intention when the shop was opened The volunteers who banded together and started the group

was a need and nurses doctors school principals the town office and the welfare office were all informed Just two such cases have been looked after in all the months of operation The volunteers say they are willing to work if more people come Some people dont miss a good thing until it gone one of the volunteers mused this week This service was certainly never Just for poor people The more we can serve the better Lately the shop was open evenings with a good response at first which quickly tapered off Stock moves Unsold clothing is soon moved off to the Salvation Army Articles ore good
