WATERvILLE
ASSOCIATED CHARITIES
OFFERS IT'S SERVICE

During the fall and winter seasons the
executive committee of the Associated
Charities offers it's service as central
agency for the dispensing of charity in
our city. All religious, fraternal, social
charitable and commercial organizations,
and all benevolent individuals OF the
community are invited to cooperate In
this matter The committee urges the
importance of such cooperation, especial
ly during the Thanksgiving period and
the Christmas holidays. The churches
and other organizations and all persons
who plan to make any gifts OF money,
clothing or dinners during the winter
season to the worthy poor should report
that fact to the secretary of the Asso-
ciated Charities or to any member of
the executive committee. The following
are members of this committee: H. T.
Hanson, E. L. Craig. Mrs. w. ]. LAM
gan, Rev. G. B. Nicholson, Mrs. NJ, w.
Bessey, r.. J. Bowler and f. E. Wolfe.
This will make it possible for all per-
sons dispensing charitable relief to have
available information concerning just
what others are dong in this line. 1t Is
hoped by this sort of cooperation to
prevent any unnecessary duplication as
we'll as to avoid any neglect of worthy
cases of need. 49,
All cases of families or persons known
by any individual to be in distress should
be referred to the secretary at 1853 Main
street.
The organization is dependent for It's
maintenance upon voluntary contribu-
tions. apd it solicits the financial support
of all public-minded citizens. But more
than this the officers desire full co-opera-
ton and sympathetic from all; since
they realize that while this organization
seeks to offer facilities for cooperation,
the actual cooperating must come from
all those interested in wise and an ef-
ficient administration Of the charity work
! Of the community.
