sons, whose total years numbered Us.
apparently held the strongest heart
appeal as this one was the first to
be closed yesterday when the neces-
sary $50 in subscriptions was re-
ceiVed. With No. 5, the first OPP
portunity taken care of closed, the
society asked lasr night that donors
TO these worthy cases concentrate
their contributions to the remaining
thirteen opportunities.
These thirteen opportunities include
help for siXty-one minors and four
teen adults. In three of the families
certain of the children are old enough
to work and are contributing to the
support OF their mothers and younger
brothers and sisters. This is true in
Opportunities No. 6. 9 and II. In the
remaining ten opportunities the chill
dren are all young and the mothers
are too much occupied in caring for
their young families at home to be
able to contribute any considerable
amount to their own support.
The total received up to last night
was 2,oH.1s. leaving ss,S91.s2 still
needed. With less than a week to

elemental things of life, food, cloth
ing. shelter. plus the biggest thing of

at once on their Christmas list and
to give early.
