Seventy-hve families are being
cared for on the South Side by the
Associated Charities, according to
Mrs. Anna Born OF the South Side

are from the country and have been
forced by crop failures or other ad-

for jobs. With little or no financial
reserve, they are forced to appeal
to the charities in case of sickness.
