In addition to the cash payments
listed above, the Commute has made
the following appropriations which are
to be paid in monthly installments, or
in cash as the demands may require:
Boy Scouts ................$ So, 10000 |
Fatherless Children of France
Fund ...-..-......- z141o.UO |
All of the above appropriations for
National Relief Organizations were
made in respones to a National Cam
paign for funds. The amount paid |
was considered to be the proper share |
for Kenosha, based upon the most ac-
curate information that the Committee |
could obtain. For instance, the amount |
advanced to the Salvation Army was
all that was asked in their first drive. |
A campaign is now in progress for |
more funds for CHS organization and I
the application from Kenosha will be /
taken up at the next melting of the /
Committee. The small items contribut-
/ ed are as great, or in some eases, greater
in proportion to the work accomplished, |
than the larger ones. We make this
explanation SO that the public may know
that the appropriations are not arbi-
trary as far as the Committee is con-
cerned.
During the month of May, the Com
mittee has seen fit to add two new or
CARNATIONS to the list Of those receiv-
ing help from the Fund. A description |
Of the work Of these organizations are
briefly set forth in the following
items.
