CHARITIES HAS
BUSY HALF YEAR
Scope of Work Shown in Semi
Annual Report of Sec
rotary Udell

Reference TO the busiest month IN
the history of the Associated Charities
OF Detroit is included In the report
Secretary Howard l.. Udell has just
made TO the board OF trustees on the
first six months of his administration.
The report says:
During the six months beginning
July l and ending Dec. 81. the Assoc
ciated Charities has been called upon
for aid in $40 cases in July, 376 in
August, PA In September, 337 in Oc-
tober. 357 In November and 456 In De-
csmber. During these months we
have given temporary work In 2,892
Instances, permanent work IN 246. We
procured aid from relatives III So
cases, succeeded in interesting friends
or employers In 23. There were l26
cases In which We obtained medical
aid, 3S whose care In the hospitals We
secured and 30 whom we brought to
the attention OF nurses. We were
enabled to AFFORD legal aid TO "a tenn
perary lodgings TO As and permanent
homes TO three. There were IS In
stances In which We were forced TO
resort TO courts. In IL instances we
secured transportation TO other cities.
Institutional care was provided for
seven, but there were many .hings
done during these six months which
can, never be set down in figures, many
kinds OF service which defy classified
item and whose value only the recip-
lent and witnesses can show From
the beginning the cooperation extend
co TO US by other philanthropic agen-
cies has been OF gratifying nature. A
typical instance OF this cooperation
may be cited from our report for De-
cember. In that month we co-operat-
ed with the poor commission Ia 26
Instances. and with the McGregor In
stitute in 10 instances.
1T should be understood however,
that when the Associated Charities
calls In the aid of another agency In
the treatment of any case, we have not
by that act relinquished those cases.
On the contrary our relation TO the
family Is like that Of a physician TO
his patient. We remain In touch with
them until we are assured that every
thing possible is being done to relieve
their distress. The functions OF the
Associated Charities would be illper-
formed indeed did 1t confno it's actlv-
tiles solely TO what Is termed field
work"
