Not surewhat happened here and unable to remove. Tried to attach an article/video new report about a man out of San Francisco who helps homeless repair clothes on a White Rotary treadle.

I've seen this article before. That's a great way to help people. I just wish they'd posted more pics.

Thanks for the story. This also has happen in Africa. A man has a treadle and allows women to sew clothing for their family so we supply our missionaries with plenty of fabric to take over there.

Saw on the national news segment on CBS at suppertime last night. Great use of his treadle machine!
