CLUB LAUNCHES POOL ON |CE ID
 HELP CHARITIES

Another ice pool has been started,
 the winner to be determined by the same rules as the big ice pool, in which the Commission power house clock time will govern. It will close
 at midnight, Tursday, May ?, 1918. Tickets will be S1.
 The winner of the pool will get 25 per cent of the gross receipts, whatever they may be. The re- maining 75 per cent will be given to the Committee of Public Works
 or Charities, to form a nucleus for
 such purposes.
 The committee has been trying for some time to get on aworking basis,
 but the first requisite towards the success of their operations is a fund out of which to pay legitimate public
 charges and charities.
 The committee itself is composed of one representative from the var ious organizations of the town, ex- elusive of the Red, Cross, which will operate independently, as all of its
 needs are public charges per SC. The object of this committee is to
 give moral and definite practical support to such matters as may be
 brought to it's attention, when the committee has voted favorably upon
 them.
 The fact that the committee does not support particular project, will
 mean that the committee does not consider it necessary public charge or charity.
 There are two important reasons why this committee should take charge of such matters. First, be- cause we are now spending so much for public purposes that it should all be reduced to a system. !econd, AoA IiiS SeAhC Ol CSOIlOIIy.
 The first reason is so obvious as to require no comment. The second is perhaps less noticeable To raise one dollar for some particular pur- pose often costs an expenditure of anywhere from one to three dollars, and there has been one occasion, at least, where a worthy cause owing a comparatively small sum, failed to make expenses. The public spent twice the amount of the needed money, but the debt is yet unpaid
 When the committee once has a fund for operation, any one who wishes to do so, may bring a matter before it. It will then be decided whether the matter comes under the head of Public Work or Charity, and how much should be contributed.
 If the funds permit the amount will be voted without further delay, ana the acClOn or the committee puD- lished at once.
 If funds are not available the committee will take charge of the matter of raising funds if so desired, how much is, in their opinion, required. If surplus is raised, the surplus will go into the treasury for future needs.
 For these reasons it is hoped that he plans of the committee will be the whole town cooper iting to secure better results in this direction, and to tighten these re- turing financial burdens.
