Of Associations Name
to Cover Fully.

The monthly meeting OF the Asso-
ciated Charities directors Tuesday
night developed into an interesting
discussion in regard to the name,
Associated Charities" President
Robert Krakauer spoke OF the devel-
opment Of the work here and said
that in many ways it was getting to
be more than an Associated Charities.

visiting housekeeper, and that IL now
has two nurses and a tuberculosis
/ committee. Mr. Krakauer said the
/ work is Of a constructive nature TO
improve conditions in general at
every opportunity and some name
should be found which would Lltly
describe all the work Some OF the
names suggested Were- Social service
bureau. welfare association and fam

He urged that the finance committee
be enlarged when the next campaign
is undertaken to include many Of the

the small finance committee to have
the entire responsibility for raising
funds for an organization doing the
work in which so many are interested
and in which all must take some part
.. S. Stewart said that despite the
calls made upon the business men 10
give to the Red Cross and other work

very willing to help out the local or
ganization. DR.. ". L Brown said he
believed that there could be many

in the milk fund and thought that
there would be no trouble in raising
the amount required
