Mrs. S.J. Wilson has announced that in line with National Defense Work and aid to Britain, a feature movie will be given Friday afternoon at the Carolina Theatre in Allendale, with admission free. Each patron is expected to bring a gift of warm clothing, which can be sent to the British wrapped in Christmas packages.
