PLAN TO EXTEND WORK
 OF CHARITABLE BUREAU
All Catholic Parishes and Organizations of City Repre- sented at Meeting at K. of c. House
 Last Evening

Sacrament, Mrs. A. L. Kr&use; St Charles, Miss Ann Flynn; St. Mary's, Mrs. Mary Leonard OConnor; St. Pe- ter's, Mrs. Mabel L. Goldman; Sacred Heart, Mrs. ma Sullivan
 The aim of the proposed campaign for funds is to enable the Catholic Charitable Bureau to extend its pres ent activities which consist of family rehabilitation, child placing and re constructive work with delinquent children and wayward girls; and also to develop the work of providing clubs and classes for children and adults, as is now being done at St. Vincent's Community House, through the aid of the National Catholic War Coun- Gil, which has been financing this work since it's inception last fall.
 Father Judge read last night a brief summary of the work of the Catholic Charitable Bureau. The Bureau has, for instance, aided up- wards of 1900 needy families, has be friended over 400 children brought before the Juvenile Court, has given aid and protection to about 100 un- fortunate girls, has removed 65 chil- dren from unsuitable homes, has found free homes for over 50 chill dren, has distributed over 4,000 arti- SAOo OL CIOL1llIIS e1hu -OFSI o0V dl IlCA6- of furniture.
 Miss Elizabeth Daley of the Ma tiona1 Catholic War Council, gave a brief summary of the work at St Vincent's Community House. The win ter program, (adults) included classes in dressmaking, millinery, fancy work, home nursing, stenography business English, library and reading room facilities, social clubs, whist parties and dances, and monthly com munion breakfasts.
 The winter program for children included day nursery care, kinder garten, sewing, games, story hour, folk dancing and parties.
 Miss Mary Doherty, also of the Ma tiortal Catholic War Council, who is an expert in home economies, spoke in particular of the summer plans fol work in her own special lines The present community house is however, entirely inadequate for the carrying on of all these plans. It will be necessary, therefore, for larger and more commodious quarters to be secured.
