Work for tho neglected little ones IN
Captain oBe1rne's salvation Army
Day Nursery goes steadily on, and
at present there are ten children being
cared for IN the warm, pleasant rooms.
The Captain said this morning that he
had served, since the work began,
946 meals, and had given 2S5 lodgings
at an aproximate value OF $23125. To
aid IN the financial end OF this good
Wo-k, many Fairmonters are to be
thanked, and have been thanked.
Just at present funds are again grow
ing low and again the good Captain
asks for more money donations from
his many sincere friends In this coun-
ty There IS no appeal like that OF
helpless, needy children, and SO Far
all that has been necessary, when mon-
ey has been needed IS that, the need
be made known, and, almost Instantly.
the Captain kas again sufficient
amount to carry him stu another few
weeks along the rescue pathway OF
comfort and well being for the babies.
In speaking OF the good work which
the Captain has done for children OF
afflicted families and children without
families, special mention must be
MADE OF the generosity OF Sam r Nu-
yum, who has donated the large, sum
ny rooms for the use Of the children,
free OF charge. It is the Captains
wish that the children always have
such a home in the city, and plans
are at present to continue the nursery.
Children may ct all times feel that
there Is a place for them under a ca
pable matron, and when children are
known by Fairmont people who are
being neglected the Captain would
like such people to call him on phone
$3.50 that he may bring them to his
nursery. There are no doubt children
about the city, perhaps in the oufly-
ing regions OF the small towns about
the city, who need Captain oBefrnc.
For such as these the nursery Is being
maintained
A number OF women IN the city have
offered a days time when needed.
They can be used again II they will
call the Captain, making an arrange
ment with him as to what day they can
come to the nursery Food is also
needed again, as most OF the supply on
hand has been exhausted. Especially
soups, apples. potatoes, homemade
bread, eSgs, chickens and small cakes,
are needed. A handy table has been
made and DEBATED by John Ktsner.
This table is being used for dining,
AID regularly each meal IS set neatly
