was read:
Everett, Wash, May "a, 1920.
Dear Friends: The Central Labor
Council at its last meeting appoint
ed a committee to arrange for a
performance to be given June 10,
at the Princess Theater by the Chill
dren of Draper Home. This action is
in line with that of other Central
Councils throughout the State, the
plan being for Organized Labor to
take over this institution for the
care of homeless working-class chill
dren.
AS you no doubt know this home
has been maintained by Daddy and
Mother Draper for many years.
These fine people have been willing
to assume all the responsibility of
taking care of the orphans that
have been placed in their charge, Civ
ing them practical education in
music, painting, sewing, etc. During
this period over one thousand boys
and girls have been given homes. In
many instances, parents who were
unable to care for their children tenn
porarily have found in this home
haven where they could be cared for
until such time as conditions per-
mitted them to provide a proper
home and education. In this way
numberless families have been kept
together.
A volume might be written about
this work. You can readily see that
it is a cause worth your active sup
port. 1t is not charity you are being
asked for, but your cooperation in
the matter of buying tickets as well
as selling as many as possible to
your friends, for good perform
ance. These children give pro-
gram that is far superior to the or
dinary show. Besides the music
rendered by this band of little tots,
there will be readings speaking,
fancy dancing, etc.
The price of the tickets is only
so cents. A special price for chill
dren will be made at the door. The
committee urges you, not only to
purchase tickets out of your treas
ury, but we ask you buy as indi-
viduals. In doing this you will not
only be the means of getting your
friends interested in attending a good
show, but you will be helping these
homeless kiddies to help themselves.
Mrs. Ida Miller who represents the
Draper Home is working with the
Committee and will be glad of any
suggestions you may offer. Her
phone is Main $50 R. Trusting that
you will be able to sell all of the in
closed tickets and call for more, we
are
Fraternally yours,
NEIL BRESLIN,
