The New York Orphans Day out
ing has no parallel in similar events
since the beginning of its annual
practise, and one need only see the
Joy furnished these little unfortunate
ones in order to be amply repaid for
any donation one may have made
toward this cause.
1t is hoped that Newark will be as
fortunate from the standpoint of
weather conditions, as we'll as from
financial response from the public, as
was New York city. 1t is just short
time now until the 18th (the date hav-
ing been changed from the 12th), and
anyone who is DESTROYS of assisting
the committee should do so almost
Immediately, as they have nothing 10
gain by leaving such matters until
the last moment
Practically all the local dealers are
lending their aid in this worthy cause,
and local business houses, manufac-
turers and others to whom an appeal
for funds was sent by Joseph II.
Wood, chairman of the finance COM
mittee, We're prompt to respond But
as the committee expects to have
more than 500 children on the outing,
more cars and money is needed. All
car-owners who are willing to loan
their cars for the afternoon should
communicate with C. L. Fitzgerald,
20 Branford place.
