SNOW INTERFERES
WITH CANVASS OF
COLORED COMMUNITY

The snow and cold weather of yes
terday morning had a lot TO do with
the success Of the financial campaign
planned by the colored branch of the
Community Service organization A
large number of solicitors were ready
TO start out early Monday morning and
canvas the town, but in the face of
such cold weather only a few were
able TO do any work at all. Those who
did get out have reported fair success.
In one or two cases the reports have
been very encouraging. and yet they
have Just started towards the $4,000 90
mark. The committee is very anxious
that everybody contribute something
to this cause 1t is a good investment,
one that gives a 100 percent return.
The colored people have bigger job
than Just raising the So 5000 for rum
ming expenses They are buying the
building, which is now being used by
the War Camp Community Service
which is a larger item than raising
money TO run Community Service. In
stead Of having to put up expense
money, they will have to raise in the
course of time $4,000 or probably
SIS 900 extra TO pay for their building.
Their burden is heavy and job is big,
thus they need the help of every per
son in Annapolis in order that Com
munity Service may be established for
the colored people.
The program is one worthy Of sup
port Such work as providing home
for the girls, who come from the coun-
try to work, the day nursery, where
mothers can leave their children dur
ing the day while they go out and work
and can feel sure that the child is
properly cared for, and the employ
ment bureau where people desiring
help can always get in touch with the
very best class. are movements worthy
of the hearty support of every one.
Every colored person. man, woman,
and child. should be a member of the
community organization. They may
become such by paying from one dollar
to one hundred dollars. Join today.
