Winter Months.

The adjourned annual meeting OF |
the Associated Charities, met at Per-
rine hotel on the evening October
22nd. The meeting was for the pur-
pose of electing president and |
treasurer, the latter office being va
Gated by the resignation of Mrs. e. b. |
Williams.
Mrs. Kennedy Packard was elected
president and Mr. Will j. Young, treas
urer.
The remainder of the meeting was
given up to the discussion of the best
methods of carrying on the work, and
the question of ways and means to
finance it.
Every effort will be made to elimin-
ate all possible red tape. The presi-
dent has appointed district visitors
in each quarter Of the city and an
appeal to the secretary, Mrs. B. A. Pa-
ker, will bring prompt response to
any call of need Emergency relief
will come at once and then inyesti-
CATION of the case. Where help call
ing for cash is furnished. it will be in
the shape of loan, wherever it is
practical.
The president, secretary and treas
urer, together with DR.. Shepherd, Prof.
Blue, Mrs Harry Allen and Mrs. G..
E. Smith comprise the board. Each
section of the city is represented. The
kboard decided to ignore suggestions
made to raise money by food sales,
teas, etc, to carry on its work, but
to solicit funds from the community
it is serving.
1t is benefit to any community to
be relieved of haphaZard giving and
have an organization which will pre-
vent fakirs from gathering up money
ON false pretenses. For two winters
past great deal was contributed in
money, and clothing to man in uni
4 fgOrm, whom this association at last
exposed as the worst kind Of an i'm
poster. 1t took considerable CORES
pondence and hard work before facts
were gathered and laid before him
making it desirable for him to leave
ftown. Not one dollar of all collected
ever relieved one case OF need bu
: his own. This is libel on charity.
. 1t was decided at this meeting tt
recommend that no second hand cloth
: ing or bedding should be donated tt
any organization outside of our city
! Mr.. Will J. Young has kindly do
mated rent free, the use of room owe
his Office for our supplies. Any thinl
left with him will be put in the room
8 Donors will please see that wool cloth
ing is reasonably clean, as the asso
4 citation never gives out dirty clothing
or garments worn to point whic
make patching or cutting over pro
n hibitive.
d Already this fall several childre
: have been fitted out with clothing t
d make them fit for school and DC
# mands are on hand which we are IN
s able to meet.
!. The manual training department z
: the high school has offered to men
e all broken toys which will be given u
e and delivered there. The girls hav
S. also promised to dress some dolls.
