Aid for Poor Solicited
Mr. b. T. Janney, who is of the Off
GERS of the Associated Charities, has re-
quested the help of the good people of
Georgetown toward raising funds for the
relief of the poor of this section. ''There is
every bit much suffering among the
poor this year last said he this morn
ing to a Star reporter though perhaps
the numbers may not be as great. Because
no appeal has been made to the charitably
inclined residents, there is a general belief
that no suffering exists. This is a great
mistake, and some of the cases visited this
year are most abject cases of poverty
worthy and in need of relief. The funds at
the command of the association are not
over sufficient to meet all of the demands
and for that reason the good people of
Georgetown are asked to help. In previous
years they rendered good assistance. but
this year practically no outside help of any
consequence has been received
All donations of cash or other articles
will be received at the office of the George
town branch. BOIL o street, and be duly ac-
knowlCdged.
