The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-03-16

1D)IRM1NGHAM is ever ready to help lTN the many worthy causes which
 come to us from day to day and will give with a willing heart and hand if the interest being taken thoroughout the city is an indication-on Flag Day Tomorrow.
 Mrs Frank J. White, who is one of Birmingham's best known women is most enthusiastic over the work, and is ever ready to help the down trodden sick and needy of our city, is president of the organization which stands behind Flag Day, and is also general chairman Of the sale.
 She talks most interesting of the cause and plans both of the past and future. She says: Many inquire, if they don't already know, why we are to sell these flags tomorrow, and at once tell them it is to get funds for the free clntic of St. Vincents hospital-and do you know that last year there were 2025 patients given medical attention, and this year 2o45 were treated-all absolutely free. There were 125 operated upon not includ- ed in this number. I have been asked who controls the fund and has the dis tribution of it, well it is the work of the Ladies of Charity, which is nonsec- tarian organization, and is composed of 249 of Birmingham's good women ever ready to lend their aid l am president, Mrs. Oscar Hundley vice president, Mrs. Jack T. Walton recording secretary, Mrs. Mansfield Lathem corresponding secre- tary and Sister Chrysostem treasurer. Besides ali the cases cared for in the Hospital, S5 families were provided with the necessities of life, and at Christmas tree was given at the hospital for more than 30 families who were present. ed with suitable gifts for their little cnes and food. Last year the Flag Day gave the ladies about $l2S5, and this year it is our hope to double this amount and it can be done by all giving even a small sum-.
 Mrs. White continued saving: We had no trouble getting people to sell the flags, and many were so lovely to volun- teer their aid, even if they could only stay few hours so if the day is pretty the street corner will be filled with lovely young women eager to help this good cause. In former years it has been the custom to use green flags, as all wear touch of green on St. Patrick's Day, but this year, since patriotism is aroused as it has not been in many years those who wish to buy bit of green, will also find that their own dear flag may be honored, by buying and wearing the flag which will be offered them by the women who will sell them"
