Wanted, by Labor Day, $4,000.
Received up to the day before Labor
Day, $1,A1sso.
On September / The Tribune Fund
took stock. The stock taking showed
that its expenses and receipts up to
that date almost exactly offset one
another. That was good so far as it
went.
But the stock taking also showed
that on September the Fund had in
the country at its vacation homes 7e5
noys and girls whose vacations still
had to be paid for. The cost of those
vacations would be about $4,000.
The 766 vacations had been bepun
and they must be carried through. It
surely would not do to turn the chill
dren about Immediately after their
arrival in the country and march them

There was no other possibility Of
retrenchment; 80 the Fund, on septem-

vacations.
This is Labor. Day and the Funds
request falls short of fulfTfment bv
$3,5s620. Approximately 500 of the
VACATIONS still remain unpaid for.
The Funds stock taking also showed
that about 1900 of its supporters Of
last year. who contributed more than
$4,000 in 1919, hadn't remembered the
children and their vacations this sum
mer. That was the reason the money
was asked for by Labor Day. It was
assumed that all that was necessary
was to remind these friends of the
Funds need for money to have them
supply it.
The Fund is still confident that they
will.

She was assured that she need not
