proteges be sent away. There are in addition thou
sands of needy youngsters who will not be heard of
through these organizations whom the Fund should seek
out.
You believe in the country for health and rest and
recreation for yourself in summer. You know some
thing-but not the worst of the conditions the chill
dren of the tenements must endure in hot weather Be-
cause Of these conditions how much greater is their need
OF the country than yours

agency to which the poor and the organizations which
seek the welfare of the poor turn for this sort of help
You will be saving lives awakening souls, shedding sun
