WORKING TOWARDS
A BETTER SYSTEM
Members of the Different
Charitable Associations to
Hold a Meeting.
AT CITY HALL MONDAY
EFFORTS WILL BE MADE TO SUP.
PLY NEEDS OF ALL DESERVING
POOR AND TO PREVENT DE-
TESTFUL "SPoNGING.v

The members of the Penny club
Flower Mission, Womens Relief
Corps, Salvation Army and Associat-
ed Charities, Richmond's charitable
organizations, will meet in Joint ses-
sion Monday Afternoon at 2 O'Clock in
the city building, to formulate plans
whereby only the deserving poor of
the city can receive aid from those
bodies
The members of the organizations
have long felt the need of arriving at
some means whereby their work
would not overlap. In many instances
in the past several months those per-
sons relying on charitable societies
for aid, have approached one organ
ization after the other, for help. and
aS result have been able to secure
really greater amount of help than
they were entitled to, while perhaps
some OF their needier brothers were
obliged to remain unhelped.
Several members of the different or
ganizations, whose purpose it is. to
help these persons, feel that the only
way in which all of the separate bod
les can keep in close touch with the
poor is to form the local Associated
Charities Board, with one member
from each society. In this way all
would be kept in close contact with
the work and imposters and "spong-
ers" would meet their fate.
Heretofore the Penny club has snp- |
piled clothing to the poor. the Flower |
Mission has taken in upon itself to 4
supply the sick with all the dainties 4
and cheering things of life: the town
ship trustee. Salvation Army, and
the Associated Charities have sup
piled the poor and distressed with food
and clothing. while the Womens Re
lief Corps has done its work among
the old soldiers and their wives. All
of the work is done along different
lines and ii is thought that by Great
ing some central officiating body such
as the Associated Charities. placing
n member of each society on the roll.
more efficient and far-reaching work
can be accomplished in the long run.
The idea of establishing a registra-
ion bureau. whereby all the names of
he worthy poor. as well as the unwor- /
.hy. could be placed, is also being
igitated, and may be carried out in /
aniunction with the other scheme. {
