avenue was struck by car driven by
Michael Grant of PAL Lewis street at
State street, and his left shoulder was

ton.
John Peterson of 405 Maplewood

ceived several decorations and bruises.

ASSO. CHARITIES
CARED FOR LARGE
CROP OF BABIES
Entertained Last Month 1000
Girls at Their Club for
Young Women.

The Associated Charities are make
ing their annual drive for money
and money is about the last they give
to the great need they serve. 1t is
increasingly expensive to supply milk
and eggs to tubercular patients,
specially prepared food to ailing lit
tie babies, nourishing meals to the
Day nursery youngsters, wholesome
entertainment for the Girls club.
But the Associated Charities viii
go with their work and do what they
can with what they get. This. for
instance. is what they did last mouth:
Cared for $50 patients and ministered
to over 600 in sickness and distress;
housed and fed 1900 babies in the
Day nurseries while their mothers
worked in the factories; treated over
20 crippled children at the Ortho-
paedic Clinic; furnished entertain
entertainment and instruction to over
1000 girls at the Girls club.
The figures show merely the frame
work. They do not show the warm
interest felt in each particular thing
done. They do not show the quick
sympathy, the understanding help
that is given with the actual service
1t would be quite impossible for
single citizen to accomplish with his
Contribution what the Associated
Charities, under their organized man
agement, can accomplish. Here, waste
is unknown; systematized effort brings
quick results; cases are not handled
merely as cases but as opportunities
for retaining life, for the re-,
building of hope. The physicians who
give of their time, the nurses who
spend their days in this visiting work
rather than in private nursing be-
cause. as one said. they feel they
are really helping somebody"
On Monday at 4 o'clock. at The
Stratfield there viii be a meeting of
those interested IN this work, and tea
| will be served. The Rev. Alexander
Allison will address the gathering,
| and everyone who is honestly inter.
ested in the development of this Assoc.
ciated Charities organization in inyit-
ed to attend.
