public assistance when so much was
being given for war work to the Red
Cross and other organization but that
charity at home must not he over
locked. For several years the mission
has been doing an unusually worthy
work. which has won il great praise.
Conditions this year arc no different
than in previous seasons. and while
war is making heavy demands upon the
purses of Richmond. this one great
work must go on without regard to
Picardy or in Flanders, or along the
Piavc.
Ice is distributed by the mission to
families in which there is sickness and
where there are no funds. and where
there arc babies which must have ice
