Child Rescue League Of CIarkS.
burg is Organized with Mrs.
Bland as President.

Citizens OF Clarksburg. who have
long felt the need Of soma institution
in the city Cor the care Of small chill
dren, will be glad TO learn that such
an institution. known as the Child
Rescue League OF Clarksburg, has at
last been organized.
The aim Of this league is 70 provide
care and shelter for children. especial
Is those under three or four years OF
age, whose mothers are forced TO work
out by the day, often being obliged to
leave their little ones at home, alone
and uncared for, during eight or ten
hours. The many disastrous results
OF such a practice are only TOO well
known. This, II Is hoped to be able
to change and in this respect bring
Clarksburg up to the standard Of Park
ersburg, Wheeling. FairmOnt and other
West Virginia cities that have long
had day nurseries and child welfare
societies, by providing place where
Just such mothers may safely leave
their children during the day. The
plan also includes provision for board
ing children by the week. or month, IN
cases whore It seems necessary.
The league has been able 70 obtain
q suitable building and the services
Of a competent woman TO care for the
children. A small sum has been raised
to defray the initial cost, and some
financial support has been promised
by the county. But the promoters feel
that they need the good Will and sup
port Of the public, and. therefore. put
the aim and plans before the public
for consideration. They would be glad
to receive any ideas or suggestions, as
well as material aid from those who
are Interested IN the work. Many
things will be needed in the way OF
furnishings such as small chairs,
tables, beds, toys and the like. All
who have any such outgrown articles
Of furniture, which they would like to
contribute, should communicate with
Mrs. Ross F. Stout. At the sherth's
residence.
The oficers and board Of directors
Of this association consist Of Mrs.
George ". Bland. president; Miss Re
becca [. Ruhl. secretary; Mrs. F. Q.
DevericlEs, treasurer; Mrs. Ross =.
Stout. Mrs. Frank Reynolds, c. 2.
Prunty and John Sopher. To all who
wish to ask, any OF these directors
win give further details about the
association, and It Is hoped there WI
be many who are sufficiently Interested
TO inquire.
It IS believed that there Is large
opportunity for service here. that q day
nursery has been long and urgently
needed. and Il is the earnest desire
10 have the hearty and sympathetic
co-opsration Of the citizens Of Clarks-
burg with the work Of this associa-
ton IN its EFFORT to help, care and pro
vide for the children Of the community.
