WORKERS READY TO
SOLICIT MEMBERS
OF CHARITY BODY

Plans for the membership drive
OF the Associated Charities are
fast nearing completion and prac-
tically all the precinct captains
have been selected with full quotas
of WORKERS ready to start the
house to house canvass Monday
Those who have not yet reported
are expected to do so today, COM
plotting the preliminary arrange
ments.
1t means no little sacrifice on
the part OF workers in the Asso-
ciated Charities drive who are Civ
ing so willingly of their time and
energy to this cause. The demand
for solicitors has been almost un-
ceasiRg during the war, and now
another appeal must be made for
cause that is just as worthy as
those who have preceded it, With
the readjustment of the social and
economic conditions the need of
organized charity will be greater
than ever before.
An urgent appeal is made TO the
citizens of Rock Island to lend
their support to those who will
HHu LuSulSeIFeS III QeeQ OF gulQ-
ance and help during the year to
come. This can best ue accom-
plfshed through organized charity
This is what the Associated Char
tiles is. 1t is dealing with causes
and effects, seeking to help by
teaching, guiding, encouraging the
needy and the discouraged. A
friendlyAvisit, timely gift or loan
may prevent utter disbursement
and abandonment. Sometimes only
one visit is necessary to tide over
a crisis. Sometimes frequent Wis
it's and prolonged relief are nee
essary to prevent disaster. At
other times guidance ana instruc-
ton and friendly interest are
needed. Whatever the fault, the
case is dealt with in a constructive
way to bring about better condi-
tions in the home.
1t is no easy matter To canvass
for funds or any other thing, and
workers should be met with cour-
tesy and given all the encourage
ment possible to make lighter
their arduoqs work.

KICK IN Sims
WILL BE AIRED
IN THE COURT

Tony Posateri comes from an
impulsive race, the name ITSELF
signifies that much. And then.
again. Tony-he is the brother of
no less a parsonage than Mike
Posateri. better known as Mike
Dundee-has certain family tradi-
lions that have to be lived up to.
And it shouldn't be imagined from
the above few lines that Tony has
disagreeable disposition. Moth
ing is further from the truth. But
now and then-in this vale of sad
ness and sorrow-one, ann almost
anyone, is liable to run amuck of
the days sordid routine.
For these many years Tony has
been a valued employee OF a well
known hasherino in the neighbor-
hood of Seventeenth | street and
Third avenue. And as the years
fed by, Tony's genial disposition
won him many a friend and casual
acquaintance. among the latter
could be numbered cae Salem
Dahlem. Syrian proprietor of a
fruit emporium in the downtown
section.
Salem's acquaintance with Tony
had progressed to the degree that
a friendly tap on the shoulder got
to be the usual form of greeting,
and as the days wore on Tony and
Salem seemed to grow the more
friendly
Yesterday. however. tie culmin-
alton of a months friendship was
reached-in the Office of Justice j.
A. Boman, that being the spot Sc
lected by Salem for the swearing
out of an assault and battery war
rant charging one Tony Posateri
with the latter offense.
He slapped me on the wrist"
declared Salem to\ the query of
Police Officer John Kinney, who
was first called into the case.
And he kicked NE in the sRins. -
walled Tony, and no guy can do
that and get away with IT."
Incidentally it might be men
toned that Tony has never been
in police court before in his life.
He appeared at the station with
brother Mike.
