MUSICAL ARTISTS
TO AID MRS. VIDAL
Burden of Debt on Home viii Be
Raised Through Efforts
of The Herald
NOTABLE BENEFIT PLANNED
PubIiC's Goodness Will Be DEM
onstrated by Responses to
Call for Funds
NOTABLE BENEFIT PLANNED

Mrs. Dolores VidaPs burden OF debt
is to be raised through the efforts of
The Herald. A benefit performance
is being arranged and probably will
be presented within ten days. A fine
musical program is being volunteered
by artists, professional and amateur,
but as yet is being held open for fur
ther volunteers, The Herald desiring
to give every one who wishes 1t a
chance to help the Widows family.
While the response to the appeal for
help In the Vidal case has been gen.
erous, 1t has been insufficient to save
the home OF the two Woodworking
girls and their fragile mother. Not
only is the debt too large to be met
with the funds in hand, but it is con-
stantly increasing. With it's increase
grows worry and fear for the helpless
little family. The Herald feels that
something must be done and is pro-
ceeding to do 1t.
No more charity will be asked of the
general public, as 1t is the intention
of the program committee to give full
value for money received. Those Of
fering their services only do so from
motives of generosity and warm
heartedness, and therefore are pre-
pared to throw their best efforts into
the affair.
Perhaps the many cozy homes In
Los Angeles, decorated dI lHiHhS-
giving time with CHEEKY fires, bright
flowers and loaded tables will radiate
a little extra warmth, a bit more sat
isfaction, because Mrs. Vidal and her
two young daughters are not homeless
and without means to procure roof
for their heads. The girls are both
working, but their wages are too small
to enable them to pay off the lien
against their home at 626 Mission road.
"It seems to me that it will be a
fine thing to give thanks for" said
one of the men interested in getting
up the benefit, "if just as public-spir-
tied citizens we have saved Mrs.
VidaPs home for her Thanksgiving
will certainly shine the brighter for
me. I have two daughters myself
girls about the same age as those
plucky Vidal girls-and for their
sake I'm glad to help all can. sup
pose any man would feel the same
way if he'd only stop to think"
The Herald hopes to have substan-
tial proof of the goodness of the gem
eral public in the volunteers to help
with the program; also in the interest
shown by those who wish tickets. The
latter will be put on sale at an early
date.
