THE BANNER FINDS
THAT POOR HERE
ARE IN REAL NEED
II AN NE.R REPRESENT \ TIN r.
MAKES Personal INNESTIGA-
TI0N OF LOCAL CONDITIONS

Are there any charity needs in Beld-
ing This question has been asked Of
the editor of the Banner many times
this winter. our interest was aroused
and a representative Of the Banner has
made some Investigations and We sub
NIT that there is most decidedly a
need OF charity work in this city. This
need Is Of course pr0portionately small
Ter than in large centers of population,
such as Chicago. Boston, or New York
where nearly i've per cent OF the total
population has required charity help
this winter. The local need is, how
ever just as real and just as pressing
where il exists.
We submit that family consisting
Of father and mother and seven chill
dren, the latter ranging in ages from
year old baby TO a J. year old girl,
the father unable TO work a good share
OF the winter on account OF i'll health
needs some attention and assistance
from the community We submit that
"A family Of five children aged 3 to 10,
entirely dependent on the mill wages
of the mother. needs some help. We
believe a mother with three children
dependent on her, and who is so i'll as
to be unable to follow her regular
vocation and has no stated income be-
yond nine dollars month widows
pension, is in need OF community help.
When children attend the public
schools with shoes so far gone that
the feet OF the wearers come in direct
contact with the ice and snow Of the
streets, when they come dressed in
overalls with no underclothes, when
they stop at homes on their way to
school in the morning and ask for
something to eat, We believe some
community attention is needed.

CITY HAS REPAIRED
BRIDGE OVER RIVER

The foot bridge over the river east
Of the depot has been repaired There
had been some talk that the Pere
Marquette did not favor the recon-
struction Of the bridge, but no objec-
tion was made when the workmen be-
gan the work.
The foot bridge was originally con-
structed about ten years ago a major
part Of the money necessary to buy the
material and do the work was raised
by subscription among the workmen in
the factories benefited by IL. After the
bridge was built il was turned over to
the city 20 maintain. The recent re-
pair work was done by the city.
This foot bridge is probably the
most used Of any within the city limits.
A large portion OF the workmen from
the factories on the north bank of the
river have their homes on the south
side, and use the bridge from two to
four times a day. In addition to this
many Of the residents from the north
east part Of the city pass over the
bridge in coming TO the business sec
tion.

SCHOOL CHILDREN
RAISE GOOD SUM
FOR CHILD WELFARE

The collection recently taken in the
school for the Michigan Child's Wei
fare League amounted To- $1,000. The
largest amount given by any room was
by Miss McBonalds fifth grade room
which gave $3.40.
Fourteen pupils collected and turn
ed in 80 cents ar more and each of
the following will receive one of the
Michigan Pennants offered by the
society for those who collected so
cents or more: Margaret Friedly
Lucy Stout, Virgil Hiccock Irene Dorr
Vera Kelly. Phyllis Carleton, Thelma
Brimmer Laura Heald, Paul owen
Minnie Bussell, Merrill Fitzjohn, Irene
Irwin, Leonard Fitzjohn and Dale
Cartridge. The money collected
has been sent TO the Detroit head
quarters Of the Michigan ChiId's well
fare League
The funds in this league are expend-
"a in caring for needy children
throughout the state. It happened
last year that there were a great many
needy cases in fonia county and a total
of $100 was reported by the society as
having been expended in this county.
This Is probably larger amount than
viii be collected by the society i'm the
county during several years. The work
of the society consists in finding homes
for homeless children, keeping fam
lilies together when misfortunes seem
likely TO break up the families. send
ing deformed and crippled children to
hospitals caring for and assisting un-
fortunate children in every possible
way. II is "A worthy charity and the
children Of the school are TO be com
mended for their efforts TO raise funds
TO help support the society.
1t might be well TO note there is also
local branch OF this society which
attempts 10 look after the welfare Of
the local needy children. so far as is
possible to be done. The president of this
society is Mrs Ralph Mason. the secre-
tary Miss Edna Wise. Although this
local society raises it's own funds 10
carry on it's work if there are any
serious cases which they are unable
to care for, they may call upon the
State society and 50 far as the funds
will permit. the State society will take
care Of these cases. The following is
the amount collected by each room:
Miss Payne, Sth grade, 35 cents. Miss
Grace. eth grade, si22; Miss NORM,
9Th grade, $l22; Miss Mcdonald, 5th
grade, $3.40; Miss Guild, 4th grade,
$2.2S; Miss Heiser, second ward, $l95;
Miss Weeks, $3.50 Miss Kelley. Ellis
School $276; Miss Ager, $1.44; Miss
