a case of young married couple with
two children that he said he knew per
sOnally; the family is suffering from
tuberculosis; the father earns about
forty dollars n month and the mother
cannot leave home or do any work
that will bring in additional money.
What was to be done IN the matter;
how were such persons to be assistcdV
Supervisor Single suggested tho
easy experiment Of submitting the in
formation to the Associated Charities.
eff the Charities takes up the affair
and the family gets the attention you
think II needs, when you can urge with
good reason that this board financially
assist the Associated Charities" said
Single
Supervisor AHA, who il an officer OF
that organization, was asked what he
thought the Charities would do for the
family, He said it would furnish q
doctor. The subject was permitted 20
rest at that point.
