Franklin NJ. Drew, Mrs. j. H. Rand,
Mrs. Henry A. Free. Mrs. j. w.
Spaulding, Miss A. NJ. Weymouth and
Mrs. H. r. Wright, all of Lewiston.
Judge Drew in presenting the case
for the home. said that it had been
established April 2, 1879. for the tenn
poral and spiritual welfare of young
women" A thousand women and girls
have been cared for from all over
Maine. For 90 years the home Went on
without seeking the aid of the State
and then, in 1901, $1,000 was asked from
the LEGISLATURE for each year and this
sum mas been asked ever since.
Mrs. Rand called attention to the
fact that never had more than $1,000
ever been asked by the State. She de-
clared that the welfare of the wo-
men and girls is the great problem
that now faces the nation. The Young
women's Home looks after the well
| fare of all. She mentioned that strang-
ers arriving in Lewiston would have
been taken to bad houses had it not
been for the assistance Of the trav-
ellers' aid of the organization.
''One woman gone astray will cost the
community thousand times as much
a year as we are asking of YOU" she
said. You will save money for the
| State by helping us: you will do some
| thing more than save money. you will
save the lives and virtue of the young
| women and this is the safeguard of
! the nation"
| The committee took the three re-
| solves under Amusement.

APPROPRIATIONS

Three requests for money were pre-
sen;ed to the committee on appropri-
atoms and financial affairs at its ses-
sion, the first of the present Legis-
latnre, Thursday afternoon. All of
these requests were for institutions
engaged in charitable work: the
Temporary Home for Women and
Children and the Children's Heart
Work Society Of Maine, both located
at Portland. and the Hayes Young
Women's Home of Lewiston.
Portland Temporary Homo
The Temporary Home is asking for
$500 for each Of the ensuing years.
While both Mrs. c. c. Harmon and
Mrs. H. F. Libby were present \ to
speak for the institution, Mrs Libby,
who is the treasurer. handled the case
for the petitioners. She said that the
home aims to provide shelter and en-
ployment for the women and chill
dren found on the streets or in bad
homes. 1t serves the purposes Of an
orphan asylum. industrial school and
lying in hospital. During the past 1is-
cal year, which ended on April l,
1914. 107 women and children were
cared for. During the year ss29765
were spent for all purposes and the
income was $s570.s1. outside the State
appropriat ton. This left a deficit OF
s234.s2 and unpaid bills Of 5000. Mrs.
Libby called attention to the fact that
three-Quarters Of the care given the
inmates Of the home is free.
chiIdren's Heart Work
While two years ago the Children's
Heart Work Society was given $500 a
year. the organization this year is ask
ing $500 for both years. Appearing for
this organization were Clarence Saw
yer, Esq. Of Portland, the Rev. Gay
Charles White. Mrs. Susan Graham
Clark. Miss Laura Slayton and Miss
Josephine Drake. Mr.. Sawyer told
how the society was organized at
York Beach in 1905 but had grown to
such proportions that il had to move
to Portland where there are now
headquarters at 50 Forest avenue. The
society cares for friendless children,
but avoids the old orphanage plan
and secures support from fathers and
mothers Of the children. At the end Of
the year 1914. 233 children had been
cared for. The expenditures for each
Of the coming two years, he said.
would be $780, OF this $500 a year
will be raised from other sources so
that $500 a year is asked from the
Legislature. The society does not In
sist upon taking children from the
care Of the parents.
The Rev. Gay c. White told of what
be knew Of the society after studying
its workings for three years and de-
ciared that the work was Of econmic
value The society is not an institu-
ton nor an asylum. but an agency for
