The annual Tag day for the Associ-
ated Charities will be held on Friday
OF this week. At this time the Chart-
peal for help from the community
generally in carrying on certain very
necessary branches of the work that
comes under the Charities organiZa-
ton. SO y
The city provides fuel, food and
housing in cases Of necessity, but
upon individual contributions, and the
results OF. the annual Tag day de-
ponds the work Of the visiting nurse,
the care of sick and attention to chill
dren especially. During The last few
Of illness among children Of the city,
and Miss Mae McCulloch, the city
visiting nurse, has been kept busy, not
only giving the necessary nursing at
tention, but in trying to make both
ends meet" as the saying goes, be-
cause she mas had a very slender bank
account to work on. The high cost
of all living commodities has made
hardship in a good many homes, even.
during the summer months, and with
the cold weather approaching, when
there is ordinarily more demand for
assistance, the outlook is anything but

must be we'll nourished and cared for
during the cold weather, and in many
homes where the earnings Of the
household can hardly be stretched to
meet the daily calls when everyone is
well, there is absolutely nothing left
to meet the expenses of illness.
Tag day, then, will provide an OPP
%portunity for every person to have a
share in bringing comfort and care
to those less fortunate and the com
mittees in charge Of the Tag day ar
rangements hope for a liberal re-
spouse from the community in gen
eral. With this great wave of patri-
otto sentiment and it's attendant war
relief work that is making itself felt
here, as well as elsewhere over the
country, we are asked to remember
that our duty lies not altogether in
that direction, but must be shared to
meet the needs Of those closer home.
There is a chance to do a "bit'' in that
way, just as important and necessary
as any of the wartime work.
