Happiness Means Few Duties for
Committee.
There is one committee, Of the La
dies Hebrew Auxiliary at Erie. Pa.
which is glad it has little work to do.
It is the committee on Social Service.
The fact that ther is not much actual
poverty in Erie is tn reason this COM
mittee is not burdened with many du-
ties.
One of the striking humanitarian
deeds accomplished by the Auxiliary
is the providing for enough clothing
for one year for an inmate Of girls
home.
The organization has obtained bet
ter results in arranging affairs for
raising funds, and for bringing its
members into closer relationship, by
appointing a different social commit.
tee each month, than by maintaining
a permanent body.
