CAMDEN CHARITY
REFORMS URGED
Cooperation and Annual
Budget Among Points in
Report to Bureau
WHITE LIST ADVOCATED

Sweeping changes in the methods OF con-
ducting charities in Camden County, estab.
lishment Of a workhouse for prisoners, an
Industrial home for the aged and city
supervision over all charity work are some
Of the recommendations which will be made
TO the board Of directors Of the Associated
Charities Bureau, at It's next meeting, by
the Rev zed II. Copp general secretary Of
the organization.
Mr.. Copp, who Is an evangelist and mem-
ber of the 1nterdenominational Assocla-
tion Of Evangellsts OF winona Lake, Ind.
will embody the suggestions in his FIRST
annual report which is the result OF
years investigation into social conditions
In Camden.
The Items, he declares are merely sug-
gestive Of what should be seriously con-
sidered from time TO time in the city ana
county OF Camden, and are as follows:
First strictly enforce law against
begging on street from door to door.
Second. Consolidate duplicating
agencies and institutions and require
such and all others TO maintain maxi
mum service
Third. Authorize committee of char
tiles Endorsement which shall upon in
Nestigatlon, prepare a white list OF
worthy charities.
Fourth Recommend a charities bud
get for all charities of the city. This
would require an annual report from
each charity with estimates for the
ensuing year the whole to be put into
joint appeal for the various bene-
hCiarles and the total amount raised at
one time, in one effort, to the comfort
and satisfaction Of both donors and
donees.
Fifth Establish an industrial home
for the Aged. where such persons could
be cared for and employed according
to their ability TO work.
Sixth Open neghborhood houses in
the several districts of the city which
shall operate. as models for the COM
munity and afford a social center for
the neighborhood.
Seventh. Grant scholarships for poor
children Of working age which will
enable them to finish school and pre-
pare for lucrative employment
Eighth. Enact legislation that will
authorize the appointment of
guardian for persons and families
habitualy receiving public charity.
Such persons are as incompetent to
have property and manage their own
affairs as infants under legal age.
Ninth. Require all nonsupport cases
to be heard in n court Of Justice. See
that an adequate amount is allowed.
sufficient bonds given and prompt
notice to the court of default in pay
.ment made. Taxpayers and the char
tiles would thus be relieved from the
duty Of having to support more than
one family.
Tenth. Operate a workhouse for
South Jersey prisoners where all
classes Of inmates shall be required to
perform labor, the earning from which
shall be paid to their dependents at
home.

First Contingent of Gunnison's Qyota Leaves
Wednesday,; Cheering Crowd Bids
Them Goodbye.

MARTIN VAN vOORHlS
CI.AIrnE CLAY

OF for Fort Riley. Three Gunnison
boys, the first of the contingent Of
sixty-five which will be our share of
the first call.
Wednesday night at the train, the
crowd was out, the band was playing
and in a patriotic speech Major Henry
F. Lake voiced the sentiment Of the
people in wishing them God speed to
uphold the honor of the Stars and
Stripes.
Major Lake stated that Of the elev-
en- men certified by the district board
on Tuesday the fourth, nearly all were
those who had not showed up for ex-
animation and were automatically en-
rolled. 1t would have been possible
to communicate with only one man of
the eleven in time to get him started
on the train the 5th. These three,
Martin Van voorhis, the first man
drafted in the county, Anthony Com
Stock and Claude Clay, had notified
the board that they were ready and
willing to go on the first call in
stead of waiting till the end of the
month. Accordingly the board named
them as our first contingent. Com
stock was delegated to command the
squad.
The boys were scheduled to arrive
in Denver yesterday morning, to leave
there over the U. P. at $50 last night
with several train loads Of Colorado
recruits and to arrive at Fort Riley
today at noon.
The band played several selections
before and after the train arrived.
1t was a long train and her a good
many boys from counties west of,us,
hound for flss sans samp---Everybody
!. shook hAnds with your 1nsiier boyz
and wished them luck. Even those
who had tears to shed. bravely turned
glad smiles to the parting train.
Probably these boys will spend the
winter at Fort Riley. The Gunnison
men may be all in one company, but
this it not certain. News Champion
will keep before its readers all avail
able news Of the camp.
The next boys will go on Wednes-
day the 10Th. There will be twenty
six of them then, although if the To-
cal board includes the men certified
who have left the country, that num-
ber may be a few short. Those who
have disappeared will almost certain
ly be found in time.

SULLIVAN ELECTED COUNCIL
NAN TO FILL VACANT PLACE

DR.. Geo. Sullivan is elected town
trustee by the other members in place
of Geo. Lightley, deceased. The Sc
lection was unanimous at the meeting
Tuesday night, but DIR. Sullivan be-
ing out of town on an auto trip, his
acceptance is not yet certain. Any
how it signifies the intentions of the
council and no doubt the selection will
be agreeable to all citizens, For he is
public-spirited and a booster.
A petition was presented to the
trustees by C. 7. Rawalt asking that
certain streets and alleys just west of
the Crested Butte railway track and
between the coal switch and the
