Temporary aid is greatly needed In
a home where the man of the family
is cut off from work by an injured
hand These people have lived IN this
city a comparatively short time and
their situation is made doubly diffl-
cut by this fact. There was a wife
anil a baby of two years dependent
on him when the man had his acci-
dent, and now there is new baby In
the family. Milk and groceries are
needed in this home.

capped by the loss of one eye. man

Charities Is interested finds it very
difficult to support his family. con-
sisting of a wife and five little chill
dren, the Oldest Of whom is a boy Of
ten years. At this time, when 1t is
hard for the physically fit to find or
keep a job, 1t Is many times more so
for this man with his impaired vision.
1t is still harder for such man after
walking the streets all day in a vain
search for work to return home to
face the distress of wife and children,
and to bring them no word OF cheer
Into this sorrowful little home 1t Is ex-
pected that very soon q sixth little
one will come.
The bureau has found some tenn
porary work for the man, but one or
two days a week, and those, uncer-
tain, are a poor dependence for such
a household Relief must be afford
ed these people and contributions are
asked of Sc a week for the family Of
seven.
