Scope and Contents

An excerpt from the newspaper clipping reads as follows:

The women, residents of the Valley and High Rise apartments, are among some 40 elderly St. Paul men and women who have joined a sewing project enabling them to serve others although they are without much money or have no transportation. It's a project that works two ways. The senior citizens have a useful activity and Our Lady of FGood Counsel home for terminal cancer patients gets a much-needed supply of pads, hospital gowns, bathrobes and bibs.
"Every summer the home runs short of supplies because many of the various groups which sew for us disband for a few months," said Mrs. Vincent J. O'Keefe, 2146 E. Third St., chairman of the Antone guild.
