NEED FOR AID IS URGENT.
An Appeal TO All to Assist In Care
and Education Of Helpless in
Twenty orphanages in State.

Ra1eigh.-The Publicity Committee
of the North Carolina Orphan Associ-
alton mas issued letter setting forth
the urgent need Of contributions from
citizens Of the state in aid of its or
phanagesI This is the usual Thanks
giving offering. Is
The letter Of the committee follows:
The management Of our charitable
institutions are making patriotic ef-
forts to adjust their work to the de-
mands of changed conditions which
have added materially to and made
more essential most of the normal de-
mands upon their resources. Some OF
the orphan homes are finding Difficult
ty in continuing their splendid work.
even on the same or reduced scale,
with applications for admission &C
cumulating that must, of necessity,
be declined for lack of facilities TO
warrant reasonable expansion.
It is no small task even in normal
times to secure sufficient funds for
the maintenance of the orphanage
work. and important departments in
a number of the orphan homes have
been handicapped on account OF this
state of affairs. The talk about the
needs of these institutions may be-
come tiresome to some, but if the peo-
pie are to sustain them they must
know something Of existing condi-
tons During the present abnormal
times, with increasing demands of
every sort which the war has made
on philanthropy, it becomes necessary
to keep our orphanage work before
the people Hitherto the editors Of
the state have cheerfully co-operated
with the committee in bringing to
the attention of our charitably inclin
ed people the imperative needs of our
homes for dependent children. We
again, and most respectfully, ask this
favor.
The suggestion of one days income
is reasonable. Not one person in a
hundred is unable to contribute Of
their income to that extent-and ALL
can assist in bringing the matter to
the attention Of the people.
The Publicity Committee therefore
makes it's appeal
/. To the prince of business to give
out of his abundance the actual or
estimated income of day.
2. To the landlord and money-lender
to give one days rent Of his houses
and lands, or one days interest on
his money.
8. To the professional man to give
one days earnings, specifying the
day or taking the average day.
4. To the salaried worker to, give
his or her salary for day.
s. To the laborers, with only pick
to this cause.
6. To the good housewife, with her
ingenuity and devotion, to set apart
the expenses of a day.
z. To the boys and girls, with no
regular income, to find work after
school hours, or on some Saturday,
and give the proceeds to the orphans.
8. To everybody, old and young,
rich and poor, learned and unlearned,
we appeal to join heartily in this
holy movement to assist the fatherless
in their adversely.
Eeach Of the twenty child-caring in
stitutions in this state is worthy of
all the encouragement a generous
hearted people may feel disposed to
offer, and we will not realize the full
delights of service to humanity until
we provide adequate protection for
those bereft of parents and denied
the comforts of happy homes. 1t was
the master who said. Suffer little
children to come unto me, and forbid
them not, for of such is the kingdom
of heaven"
