For the third consecutive year the
STAR asks the support of the charit-
able public for the free ice and outing
fund-a charity which has demon
strated its sterling worth A belated
spring seems at last to be giving way
to genuine summer, and it can only be
a matter OF days at the most until the
sultry weather is upon us.
According to its custom, the STAR
starts the fund with 800. OF the mag
nifcent fund which was collected and
distributed last year $S6.53 remains.

The worthy purpose for which the
STARS free ice and outing fund is
annually. collected and the details of its
distribution are so well known to the
Newark public that a review is hardly
necessary. For the few who may not
be acquainted with this popular sum-
mer charity it will be outlined in brief.
With the money which Newarkers
contribute the STAR runs series cf
outings to Coney Island and other re-
sorts for the benefit of sick babies and
their tired mothers. Physicians and
nurses who have accompanied these out
ing declare that they save the lives of
little ones who swelter through the long
hot summer days in unshaded tene-
ments. One trip brings the roses TO
translucent cheeks.
In addition ice is distributed free to
those who are unable to purchase It..
But for the fund this necessity of the
Nell-to-do would remain luxury only
TO be dreamed of by the very poor.
The tickets for the outings and the ice
are distributed by the city dispensary,
the eleven district physicians, the
Babies Hospital and the other hos
pitals in the city where there are clinics
for sick children. Thus proper and
judicial disbursement of the fund is ao-
solutely guaranteed.
The fund which was collected last
summer by the STAR paid for nine ex-
cursions for sick babies on the boats
of the Stephens -Condit Transportation
Company Five of the sea Journeys had
Coney Island as their goal, and four
were undertaken to Rockaway and re-
turn.

the end of it's first season. Its benents
