Tills fact gave Mrs. Barbara Spen
cer an idea. Mrs. Spencer came over
here from England last summer, ttid
ever since die’s wanted to do some
thing to jcfiglljr h^ that stricken
nation.
Now she’s doing a grand job of It,
through the organization she started
called “Namesakes Town Commit
tee, Inc.’’
The idea is to persuade tiie people
who live in a town here, which is
named after a town in England, to
help the people in that Englidi town.
'Mrs. Spencer finds out ^r^tothlhis
are needed most by the various
towns in England and reports to the
namesake towhs here. Tl^, in ti|m,
wprk out a plan to fill those needs,
for clothes, food, blankets and oAer
necessities.
By helping the people in name
sake towns a closer bond is being
built up between the English and
American communities.
