Travellers AID TO
LAUNCH CAMPAIGN
VIII Conduct Well Organized Cam
paign for support for Its Work.
Starting Tomorrow.

The Travellers Ala Society, one of
-Aegt@kaown- charities in lhe-city,
VIII launch a campaign on Monday,
November 23, for the purpose OF
raising funds to carry on the work OF
the institution. The campaign. which
will last a week, will be one OF the
greatest whirlwind affairs Richmond
has seen in many days. and many
Of the city leading citizens will take
part.
With a perfect organization. headed
by five generals. who Will be select
ed from the business men, the cam
paign will he divided into sections,
which Will be headed by captains
The captains will In turn select their
workers, and the rivalry promises to
be keen, There will be at least 200
men enlisted In the work.
The Travellers Aid Society, which
at one time was part of the Y. w. c.
A.. is g. comparatively new instftu-
ton. but its activities are well known
to the public, touching. az * Goes, one
Of the most vital needs OF the age.
The society takes care Of the travelling
public. having for it's object the pro-
lection OF girls. who not only appear
alone on trains, but who come to the
city to find employment.
Has Saved Many.
Its web OF protection has been the
cause of saving score. of innocent
country girls who come to Richmond
meeting them as it does at the depot
and directing their footsteps until they
are either lodged with friends or In
some respectable boarding house.
The organization has the endorse
snoni of both State and city officials as
we'll IA the clergy or Richmond, many
of who are rnaYf1bera of fte boa ri of AZ =
rectors. During it's four years of work
here, 1t has cared for over 4.s00 men,
women and children, regardless of
creed, sex or color. 1t lis an institution
which should appeal 10 all parents =.
Many instances OF ITS splendid ac-
c@Tnplishments have been brought to
the puhifc's attention and travellers
know the agents who meet every train
that enters the city. II Is for the pur-
pose of charging It's work. that the
society makes it's appeal.
Fer several months il has had an
average OF over 500 applicants for
positions per month from country
girls and boys, who have come TO
Richmond to earn livlihood, and il
IS these girls and boys the society is
working to protect
II is said the Travellers Aid has
done more TO break up the white
slave" traffic than any other agency
and this alone should more than
strengthen its request for aid. Its
agents are constantly on the look
out, not only at the depots OF the
city, but on the streets as well, and
with this protection for the girls OF
Richmond in need OF aid, II Is thought
that little difficulty Will be felt In
raising money for Its perpetlation.
