Soldwish, commun­ ity relations director of the local Goodwill Industries, said this week. For information about Good­ will, contact your local repre­ sentative, Mrs. (Agnes) Adams. The truck will be in McHenry Friday, Dec. 11, to collect dis­ cards. Oily Goodwill drivers collect discards for the agency, and the public is sometimes confronted with misrepresenta­ tion. Goodwill is not affiliated with any other agency. Training, employment and re­ habilitation services to all types of handicapped people are of­ fered through Goodwill Indus­ tries. The donations of usable household articles are recon­ ditioned as part of the train- ins problem and thep sold at nominal prices in Goodwills retail stares. Store sales make pay checks possible for the handicapped and convert them from tax users into taxpayers. GETTING READY . . .
