STAND IS
TAKEN FOR
CHARITIES
Representative Hammond
People Meet Last Night to
Show That City Is Ready
for an Associated Chari-
ties Organization.

Is the religious and philanthropic
spirit in Hammond strong enough to
maintain in future. institutions which
it is now fostering. and in addition
support a field worker who shall CO.
ordinate all charities, investigate all
charity cases and maintain a bureau of
informa ton to prevent overlapping OF
dispensation?
This question answered in the af-
firmative, means that Hammond is
ready for an Associated Charities. 1t
was discussed last night in the rooms
Of the Hammond Chamber of COM
merce by Representatives of various To-
cal churches and civic bodies.
Another Committee Meeting.
The meeting last night did not go
on record for or against Associated
Charities but the Rev. G. A. Smith.
rector of the Episcopal church, who
presided was instructed by motion to
appoint a committee OF fifteen consist
ing of men and women representative
of the city who are to meet within the
next ten days for another discussion.
Mr. Smith reserved his appointments
and will make them today and tomor-
row.
Prior to the meeting last night, AS
sociated Charities, an old movement,
which is new in Hammond. however,
there was little information in the city
on the subject To some extent the
movement was misunderstood. People
had heard that it was a success in 9TH
er cities, and the spirit of philanthropy
cropping for something more effective
than IT has had to work with in the
past turned to Associated Charities.
Erroneous Impression Abroad.
Various impressions went abroad in
the city. the most harmful OF which
was probably one that the Associated
Charities il an institution which main
tains a sort of Jackpot in which ev-
cry phiianthropic institution and every
business man and cnaritably inclined
individual puts an annual allowance
of charitably money and leaves it to
the Associated Charities to expend.

heroic death, but not so the contents

formance for the Rugh memorial fund

a $3.50 deficit
