ASSOCIATED CHARITIES
NEEDED IN MEXICO NOW

NEEDED IN MEAfCO NOW
The need of an associated charities
was never more hpparent in Mexico
than the past winter. The calls for
aid were such that the various bus
iness houses were asked to give al
most every day. Mexico is now in a
position to secure a trained social
worker in the person of Miss Martha
Frost who will attend to the distribu-
ton of charity and relieve the citizens
of all worry and bother of this char.
acter.
Besides having had charge of the
charities here one winter Miss Frost
has done this work in Paducah and
Louisville, KY, both large sized cities.
The plan used here was for each firm
to donate so much year, This went
toward Miss Frost's salary as we'll as
paid for the necessities of the poor.
Never in the history of the town were
the poor better cared for. The de-
serving cases had care and those who
did not deserve were weeded out.
More efficient charity work was ac-
eomplished at a smaller expense than
ever.
Miss Frost is making her home
here at present. She will likely ac-
cept position for this kind Of work
in some city shortly unless an effort
is made to have her remain in Mexico,
"A large number Of women and many
business men are interested in her
staying here and carrying on the char
ity work for them. The Ledger has
always advocated an Associated Char
ity with an experienced worker in
charge. It is the only intelligent plan
for the distribution of funds of this
character. Miss Frost did a splen-
did work here and we urge that every
effort be made to have her remain in
this city and take up her former work.
Such plan will save the city and cit
liens money.
