ABANDON CHARITY BALL
FOR PRESENT SEASON
Visiting Nurse Association Will
Apply All Funds Directly to
Relief Work.

Owing To economic conditions in
South Bend and in the country in gen.
eral as a result of the European war,
the Visiting Nurse association has
abandoned for this season its annual
charity ball The ball has always
been a success financially and socially
and it is given up with regret but the
board OF directors OF the association
feels that all the money contributed
should this year be applied directly to
the relief work and not partially eX-
pended in the making of a successful
social event
The charity ball is an institution in
most of the larger cities of the cOun-
try and in many Of them is this year
being abandoned for the same reason
as that given by the local OrganiZa-
ton. Mrs. ID. NJ +. Weeks, president
of the association, who has just re-
turned from an extended visit in the
east, says that throughout the east the
movement is general on account of
stringent conditions. If conditions
better, however, it will be resumed
again next year.
The work OF the Visiting Nurse as
ISOLATION since last year. however, has
just doubled and the fund usually ac-
QuiTed by means of the ball viii be
necessary to assist in carrying on the
work through the winter Accord
ingly a plan has been conceived by
which the members OF the board OF
directors of the association will ask of
those who have consistently supported
them by subscri bling to the charity ball
TO contribute this year the price of at
least one ticket. 81, all of which VIII
be applied directly to the work. The
board feels confident of success.
A committee composed of Mrs. r.
z. Stogsdall, Mrs. c. a. Carlisle and
Mrs. George Mayr have been appointed
bv Mrs. Weeks TO consider the ap-
pointment Of another head nurse to
take the place of Miss Monica Ma

flee of Anderson, Parker, Crabill and

tangible resulted and no report on

organized within the next few days as
the work has been progressing steadily
since Mr.. Morris explained the propo-
sition last Friday night. The COM
pany will be capitalized at 500, 600
and will be divided into shares of

sists of the following men: Clement

r. Haughton. Each of these men is
connected with some leading institu
ton or industry Of the city. The
firm of Anderson, Parker, Crabill and
Crumpacker will act as counsel for
the new bank.
Mr.. Rider stated that he hoped
to see the bank in operation during
the first week in November. a tenta-
tive home has already be negotiated
for and will probably be selected
within a day or two.
1t has been stated that on account
of requests from many people in
terested in the first industrial bank
of South Bend and in order to dis
tribute stock as much as possible, no
single subscription will be received
for more than 20 shares.
Relative TO the possible president
of the new organization, Mr.. Rider
said, 1T is possible that very we'll
known and highly respected and APP
preciated citizen of South Bend and
one who has the interest Of wage
earners most at heart will become the
first president Of the first wage earn
