Many times the publicity auto
speakers addressed exceedingly small
audiences, but their work was always
augmented by the distribution of
pamphlets to the passersby. The sue
cess of this nightly publicity work was

practically all his time TO its manage

The purpose OF making all the So
licitations for charity in one week is
10 prevent the annoyance Of frequent
solicitation by securing ct one time
Of
South Bends philanthropies so that
no more calls will be necessary during
the year. This method also saves
Tune, expense and trouble in the mat
ter of charity solicitation 1t also
secures the participation Of the largest
possible number of people. thus saw
ing the Few from excessive burdens,
ana IN ADDITION, fosters progressive
Ideas and encourages progressive
methods
The Federation OF Social Service is
union OF the IL leading philan-
thropic associations of the city. The
supervision is by a board of 10 mem
bers. OF which five are elected bv the
constituent organizations, five are ap-
! pointed by the Chamber of Commerce.
TO represent the city's business men.
and five are elected to represent con-
tributors in general.
Payments for the support of these
organizations may be made in cash IN
the solicitors or pledge OF monthly
or quarterly payments may be made.
Contributors may designate which or
ganlzation they may wish to contrib
ute 10, or they may leave the work OF
apporuoning their donation among
the II organizations TO the solicitors
Last year during the first Good Will
week there was $4,000 raised. In
the face OF hard times and the fact
l that the movement was new this
amount was encouraging, although Il
was insufficient to meet the needs OF
the charities. Regardless Of this in
sufficiency, however. there We're no
more solicitations made during the
year for any one Of the II organiza-
tions represented in the federation
Perhaps the most encouraging feature
, of that first campaign was that 1900
persons were interested who had not
before made similar donations.
Must Meet Conditions.
The $4,000 asked for this year is
: considered to be necessary for the
successful carrying on Of the work OF
these organizations AS has been ex-
, planned by the publicity speakers dur
ing the week these organizations are
in the city 10 meet conditions as they
exist and not conditions as they
should exist
The organizations which are to be
aided by the funds secured this week
are:

prevent a. we'll as TO cure the dreaded
white plague, which is found largely
among those who cannot afford to pay
for proper medical attention.

ton which gives money and food in
the cases of immediate want but
which aims principally to make de-
pendent persons self-suppOrting.

able to give
