But we have been engaged inI
former years ln social work in the
larger cities, and we cnn but feel
what farce 10 is 10 build home for
cats. when there are thousands of
dear little children needing the ordi
nary things of life TO make them COM
Portable AT the risk of offending
somei we would say, KIN the cat pain
lessly, It Is worth nothing 20 itself,
and most Of them little to the world,
but save the little children, build the
home and maintain the ambulance
for them.
And that leads US 20 say that it'
seems that We good people of New
Mexico can have no excuse for not
doing our share, either in giving
money or time, or home, 20 the poor
little homeless and helpless children
when people la other places can find
money and time 20 save cats.
Surely the babies are Of more value
than Many Cats"
