Cases Reported, 2oss Visits
Made and 73s Sick Calls
Answered

In the thirteenth annual report given
by the Los Angeles Associated Carities
a large amount of charity work is
enumerated, resulting largely from the
San Francisco disaster.
II. w. Frank, president of the assoc
citation, gave in his annual address to
the members of the association some of
the essential points of the past year,
giving much credit to the Catholic
Benevolent society and the Bethlehem
Institutional church. He said in part:
1T Is with great pleasure that the
officers of your society thank you and
the generous public for your liberality
In supplying funds to conduct our work,
But let us once more urge you to be
mindful of the noble work of charity
during the coming year.
"A growing city has growing respon-
sibilities. We ask that you not only
help us with your own contribution, but
give your influence with your friends
and neighbors. 1t should be the pride
of every self-sustaining citizen of our
fair city to say: L am a member of the
Associated Charities
Asks LiberaIity
MANY of you have been most for
tunate in the great boom and general
prosperity that have attended this sec
ton of California during the past five
years and can well afford to be liberal
in your charities.
"It is not enough that man shall
give sympathy. Let him give of his
means and prove his sympathy. Many
man really thinks he gives his share
to charity who in fact knows little and
cares even less of what great distress
often obtains in this God blessed coun-
try. Give, and be thankful that you
have wherewith to give"
Lured by Climate
In reviewing the work accomplished
during the year Secretary T. j. Stuart
said
Every city has it's peculiar burden
ana problem. Ours is in the great num-
ber Of persons who come here sick and
unable to work. They have been lured
here by the climate and are hopeful of
recovery. Most of their money has
been spent in the vain search for health,
and many of them are entirely without
means when they arrive here.
The City's Problem
"How to help and care for this in
creasing class is certainly a problem.

terest of humanity and our city.
1.-The Associated Charities has two
chief relationships, namely, toward or
ganizations doing charitable work and
toward individuals in distress It's busi-
ness is to promote such cooperation
among charitable organizations, that the
phases of human need will be ade-
quately met, and this without duplica-
ton of effort.
1.-THE association endeavors always to
have a reasonable and intelligent pro-
gram of aid in each case. It's workers
try to have clearly in mind the sue
cessive steps that are to be taken in
order to accomplish the desired end
and the part that each individual and
charitable organization can best per-
form for the help of tie family.
Cooperation Needed
1--WE would emphasize cooperation as
an essential force when any charity can
be administered either effectively or
economically except in close working
relation with every other charity.
I'VE are coming more and more to
appreciate the fact that the one great
need of the destitute and unfortunate
is human sympathy and friendship.
The test of true charity is not what is
given, but the way and spirit in which
we have accomplished the desired end"
During the year 1929 new cases were
reported, 20SS visits were made and 73S
sick calls answered.
