APPEAL FOR AID.
Joint Finance Committee of Asso
ciated Charities Wants Funds.

The new Joint finance committee" re-
Gently organized to collect funds for the
Associated Charities, the Citizens Relief
Association and the committee on pre-
vention of consumption has sent out q
number of letters appealing for aid in an
effort Ito enlist new contributors and to
urge all who have helped in other years
to renew. and IL possible to increase their
former gifts to each society,"" Cuno H.
Rudolph, chairman of the joint finance
committee, has signed the letters of ap-
peal.
Needs this season are said to be greater
than usual. while collections are unusually
slow. Instead of separate appeals at diff
ferent times throughout the year for the
three charities 1t is planned to solicit con-
tributions for all three jointly. This ar
rangement is expected to reduce expenses
and to secure more adequate support.
That these charities do not pauperize or
support the able-bodied Is a fact which
is emphasized in the appeals. That they
promote self-help and prevent the CIV
ing of relief to unworthy families Is one
of the strong points made. Out of the 800
families dealt with by the Associated
Charities during the past fifteen months
only 1,24S were given material relief. a
smaller number than in any previous year.
The other four-fifths of the families dealt
with were aided with medical treatment
