ANNISTON DOING GOOD WORK IN BEHALF lE
 OF THE STATE >CHILDREN'S AID SOCIETYs

Anniston. December Special )-Dur- Ing the past week dozens of Annistonians have been working to secure a generous amount for Alabama's great organized benevolenoe. the childrens Aid society.
 Following a splendid address by pr. Henry Edmonds of Birmingham, the Xii wanis club volunteered to take charge of this work in behalf of the neglected. homeless, friendless and nistreated chil- dren of Alabama
 This undertaking is in keeping with the Kiwanis motto: "We Build" The Kiwanians expect to help build useful citizens of children who were it not for the Alabama Children's Aid society would be unhappy dependents upon charity or a burden to society.
 As the Yuletide season draws near hearts grow very tender towards these homeless little ones of our state The directors of the aid society are hoping that many childless homes where the voices of happy childhood are missing, may, at this season of joy become the center of happiness for boys and girls who are longing for mother arms and mother hearts. Truly, it will be more blessed to give than to receive when childless mothers receive, through such act of mercy, the unselfish gladness of motherhood.
 As one of the workers for the Chi1dren's Aid society says. ITO studiously place a normal child in a well-selected home is not only the most economical, most practical. most beautiful way to provide for a child, but it is the best and most natural way. The child finally and really becomes the own child of that home, all direct responsibility for the care and expense of that child is saved the state and the charities The child is taken from the roster of institution and de- pendency and placed on the roster of life. He is no longer an orphan On the other hand, home has become more spiritual, because a child has entered there. It is the Divine way
 The society is statewide, interdenom- national, maintains no institution, CO., operates with all institutions. It's object is to place children in the greatest in- stitution in the world a mothers arms and fathers care The society watches them there, answers the call of any child in need, anywhere in Alabama, safe guards any child in danger because of neglect or cruelty. When natural ties are broken it places children in other family circles, believing that family life for the child is the best medium for rearing a good citizen whether the fam fly life is given in the parental home with relatives or with foster parents MT. G. G. Britton of Anniston is one of the state directors of the Alabama. Children's Aid society. These splendid directors not only give largely of their time, advice and counsel to support this statewide work for children, but they are paying the salaries of the workers of the society because they believe so much in the importance of this great work So the money contributed for the work of the Aid society goes. every cent of it, di- rectly to find homes for children; to pre- pare children for permanent homes, and
