CORRECTION
The Chronicle would like
correct itself concerning
With “Give New Life with Old
Clothes,” as their motto, the com¬
mittee plans to make the drive a
city-wide charity project.
The group expressed its hopes
that schools in Pasadena would
contribute items from their Lost
and Found headquarters to the
drive.
Mast and Dagger first received
the idea of sponsoring this type
of a project from Neil Goedhard,
United States resident officer in
the county of Hanau, Germany.
The letter from Goedhard de¬
scribed the condition of the Ger¬
mans and their great need for
clothes. Goedhard is a former
PCC student body president and
member of Mast and Dagger.
