them

ated Charities has kept in constant
touch with this family, have inter
ested fellow workmen Of the father
in raising a fund for them and in
addition, has supplied food, milk and
clothing.
There are many striking instances
where the head OF the family-a sick
father or struggling widow-tries as
hard as possible TO keep the children
together and. Of course, this is al
ways encouraged by the Associated
Charities. One case that has aroused
great compassion is that Of a widow
whose husband was drowned four
years ago. five months before The
birth Of her little boy. This boy and
his two little sisters constitute a
very attractive family. and for nearly
four years the mother has kept
them together, and the Associated
Charities workers have marveled al
the comfort and cleanliness Of her
little home She received a small
amount OF money as mothers pen
sion and worked in a laundry TO add
10 it These two sources Of income
made her practically independent
until last summer. when it was
necessary for her to undergo a seri-
Gus operation. She is now improv-
ing, but has been unable to return
to her laundry work, and hence 10
has been necessary TO give her a
regular weekly pension and supply
clothing, fuel and milk.
Space is not available 10 recite the
full list OF these families, but every
one Of them is such as TO win the
hvellest interest and sympathy from
the officers and workers OF the Asso-
ciated Charities. To help them see
these worthy people through, TO
keep The little families together, to
supply the necessities Of life for
other poor people and the destitute
sick, they make an appeal to the
people OF Wilmington for funds

influenza. AZ the present time this
little family must move and has no
where to go. A benevolent associa-
tion has become interested in them
and the Associated Charities is sup
plying a weekly grocery order.
There are many instances, such as
these, where destitullon and want
have come to a family through no
fault OF It's own, and where the
mother Is struggling to keep her lit
tie ones together.
It is to relieve such cases Of want
that the Associated Charities and
the Visiting Nurses Association are
today sending out their appeal ia. the
people OF Wilmington TO help them
IN raising a budget OF $4,000 for the
coming year. This Is the same
amount as was raised last year.
There are more poor families than
sver TO be taken care OF, and the
)rice OF all necessities OF life has
zone up.
At the present time there is not a
amily on the list Of the Associated
charities which has an able-bodied
man as a bread-winner. There are a
number Of cases where the father
has either been hurt or is sick, and
is unable to earn a full measure Of
support. Only recently, an unusually
fine type Of family. which had pur-
chased a little home, came under the
eye Of the workers for the society.
The father had developed tubercu-
losis. but dreaded TO go to Hope
Farm for treatment, because he was
afraid to leave his wife and four
little children with no one TO look
after them. He was unable to keep
up the pace and the end was clearly
in sight when one Of the workers
from the Associated Charities con-
vinced him that his family would
not be neglected, but would receive
the help necessary. He went away
