Checks and Money for

NEW AVENUE FOR CHARITY
Social Workers Recognize In Relief
Plan Inaugurated by The Tines
Dispatch Valuable Addition to Con-
structive Charitable Endeavor.

Richmond Is recognizing with liberal
generous giving the five oppor-
tunitics" offered by The Times Dis
patch. Tho response to the appeal has
been prompt: tho contributors range
from those who can give much--and
nave done Soto those who can give
little. but have not on this account
withheld helping hand.
Ihat Is exactly as The Times Dis
latch and the Associated Charities
would have It, 1t is hoped and de-
signed that these Five Opportunities
shall become a permanent institution
or the Christmas season In Richmond
80 Tar as possible. IL is desired TO
make response to the needs thus pre-
scented. They are opportunities in the
best sense
TRAINED SOCIAL WORKERS.
APPROVE NOVEL PLAN
The interest that has been shown
md that continues to he shown has
carried marked announcement to cv-
cry one connected with the movement.
In the opinion of trained workers in
tho social service field 1t reveals ncw
possibilities OF constructive charitable
endeavor here In Richmond. Contribu-
lions to the Five Opportunities viii
not be expended OH Christmas Day,
but the funds so collected will be dis
tributed over n year. The Opportuni-
ties represent an effort at human con-
scrvation--thc conservation OF life. tho
conservation OF the family, the con-
servation OF strength. the conservation
OF conscience. the conservation OF hap
riness.
In Offices in the business section and
some OF the stores collections are be-
Ing taken up among the employees for
one or another or all Of the Oppor-
tunitics. The Ginter Park Woman's
Club gave a concert on Tuesday even
ing for the benefit OF the fund. and
this example probably will be followed
by ether organizations.
The thought underlying tho Five
Opportunities has appealed almost uni
vcrsally.
in one respect. at least, these par
ticular Opportunities are not different
from others. They are fect!ny Tho
funds needed are being subscrib bed rap
IDLY. One. AT least, is likely TO be
closed to-da". Those who would grasp
the Opportunity that most appeals 10
