Newark Evening STAR:
"Gentlemen-It is a great work you
are doing. We rejoice in the fact that
Mrs. Rafter and myself can add our
little to your fund. There are thou
sands in our city who can better afford
to give, but do not for lack of thought
of the poor little ones. Please accept
S5 which you will find enclosed. Yours
truly.
"MR. AND MRS. JOS. J. RAFTER."
Words of encouragement such as
these benefit this movement equally
with the money contributions
Observation-Disclosures please ind
check for five dollars as a contribution
to the Free Ice and Outing Fund"
writes August NJ Kleeman, architect,
of TAI Broad street. today.
p Griffen Hanson, chairman of the
Turnpike Social Club, writes today to
say that the baseball team representing
his club will play the team of any or
ganizaton in the city or county for the
benefit of the STARS Free Ice and
Outing Fund on any Wednesday or
Thursday in July. Many other benefits
of the kind are being planned for the
fund and will be announced later.
1t has been decided to include the
Home for the Friendless among the in
stitutions which are to benefit in the
disbursement of the fund this season.
1t must be thoroughly understood
that the STAR lends it's name TO this
charity merely and endeavors to direct
1t in channels which experience has
shown are the proper ones. This Is in
reality the Charitable Public Free Ice
and Outing Fund. for without the gem
erous support of the public it would
fail. This support was strong and eff
cient the first season; grew as the
knowledge of miracles worked through
the relief afforded by the fund was
gained, and should in natural sequence
set new marks this year
Effective distribution to the worthy
alone of the tickets calling for free
ice and the opportunity to participate
in outings to Coney Island and other
recreation points swept by sea breeHes
are guaranteed by the system inau-
gurated last year whereby the tickets
are given out through the city DIS
pensary, the district physicians hud
the hospitals which support clinics ior
sick children.
Imagine what these tickets mean to
the tired mothers with aiing little ores
during the days when the mercury as
sails the top of the thermometer and
no breath OF breeze stirs the air IN
the most crowded quarters of the city.
Your contribution and that of you:
