 PARK TON|CHT
Giving Needed Aid to Most
 W orth hy Institution in Phoenix May this Time Be
 Combined With Pleasure

Nothing has been left undone to pro- mote the pleasure and comfort of the throngs of visitors expected at River side park Tuesday June ,, which will be Associated Charities day. The ad- mission charge will be 10 cents as usual, but the entertainment planned by the tireless committee in charge for the day will eclipse anything presented in the park for some time past.
 In addition to the usual features swimming and dancing, which have made Riverside so popular with the young people of Phoenix, special at fractions have been arranged which cannot fail to appeal to young and old alike. At the afternoon concert. from 8 to i o'clock, a number of clavar folk dances will be given by children under the direction of Miss Mae Hurley, fol- lowed by a water carnival and high diving exhibits by Bill Corpstein. Al bert Pinney and Tex Jones.
 The program for the evening will in clude an address by Governor Camp bell, special siX-reel moving picture show. and another diving exhibition. Open Purse Strings
 Tuesday being registration day and a holiday, a record crowd is expected after our young men have done their patriotic duty at the registration booths. The gates will open promptly at noon, and the manager of the park cafe promises a splendid cafeteria service from to 9 o'clock For the convenience and comfort of parties visiting the park picnic lunches will be furnished also by the cafe, eliminating the bother of preparing and carrying a picnic basket The committee has made arrangements for adequate transportation service for park visitors, so that all may make the trip without the inconvenience of crowding and delay.
 The profits for the entire day, includ- ing 20 per cent of the receipts of all attractions within the park will go to the Associated Charities to assist ill its work of relief of the sick and needy of Phoenix. While this is one of the most deserving organizations in the city, it perhaps is also the least ad- vertised, and it would be well at this time to give the public some conception of the scope of it's work
 Always on Duty
 Under the efficient organization and management Of Miss Christianna- Gill christ. the Associated Charities inves- tigates and relieves all worthy gases of want or sickness and assists applicants for aid to become self-supporting and independent. Many mothers with help less young children have been given necessary medical or surgical attention and restored in health to their families. Sick and destitute strangers have been assisted to return to home and friends. During the long hot summer, ice and fresh milk mus be supplied that babies may not sicken and die.
 All this is done by the Associated Charities, which is in fact the author ized charitable agent of the people, to see that the worthy poor are cared for and that the public is not victimized by frauds and professional beggars. With out this association the needy must suf- fer, and without the support and CO., operation of the public. the association cannot efficiently fulfil it's mission.
 Not only with the thought of the pleasure in store, but also with the realization of the splendid cause to which the proceeds of the day are to be devoted, the public is invited to Riverside park Tuesday, the big day of the season.
