HOME FOR AGED WOMEN
Interesting Review of the Past
Years Work Given at the
Annual Meeting.

The election of officers by the Board OF
managers OF the Home for Aged Women
90 Saturday brings before the public
anew the splendid work of this organiza-
ton which makes the declining year Of
many gentle old ladies, a time of comfort
and security.
The Home for Aged Women IS the
oldest charitable organization in Will
mington, even antedating the Children :
Home,
Though the standing committee gave
some encouraging reports on Saturday,
the Home is meeting the continued IN
crease in cost OF living with some diff
ficulty.
At the meeting held Saturday the
secretary, Mrs j Merriek Horn made
the following report:
II is always pleasant task for a secre-
tary 20 report a year of prosperity and
success, but my report this time Will
not be such happy one, for, IN turning
the pages of the record Of the Home, |
am convinced that this ffty-fourth year
of the home has been one OF anxious
strain for the managers.
Month after month brought the problem
chow can we still maintain the home on
our very inadequate incomes? Prices of
edibles and fuel have scared, and salaries
and wages also, but the finances of the
home have not increased accordingly
hence our problem.
The friends of the institution were most
generous on our annual donation day,
but this gave only temporary relief, con-
sequently, after many earnest con-
ferences, the managers decided to make
q public appeal for funds during the fall
of this wear. in order TO increase our
endowment fund; this We hope to do very
soon.
The financial anxieties of the managers.
however, did not in any way affect the
atmosphere of the home. as every care
and attention has been given to keeping
the house In attractive order. the family
happy and the sick comfortable
The home family now numbers AZ
every room is occupied and there are nine

applications during the year Five of
these have been admitted, five withdrew
and three dismissed
Much has been done to add to the
happiness of the family Different or
CARNATIONS have entertained them and
several treats of ice cream and cakes have
been sent TO them, and one afternoon in
June they were taken in automobiles to
the country home of Mrs. William Rey-
nolds and gTaciously entertained by her
on the beautiful lawn and rose garden,
where hundreds of roses were in full
bloom.

wife, Lady Anne, and french Esther
Araxie Azgapetian, whose baby eyes
opened upon scenes Of horror and later
through them saw much of the suffer-
ings of the people of Armenia.
The family are making their tour IN
der auspices of the Near East Relief,
the big organization which has saved
hundreds of thousands of the people
in that part of the world from death
by hunger and cold and is soon to open
a nation wide campaign for funds to
complete the work Of saving the sur
vivOrs, more than half million Of
whom must perish unless aid comes to
them soon. America is their only hope
General Azgapetian served CALAMITY
in the Russian armies in the Caucasus
against the Turks. His wife, who ac-
companied him to the front, did noble
work for the wounded and sick, and
it was while in this service that her
baby was born in a hospital tent during
battle. An army blanket swung from
two poles in one corner of the tent was
the baby's crib during the rest of that
terrible winter campaign. With the
collapse of the Russian armies after
the Bolshevist revolution the Azgape-
tians returned to Armenia for a brief
spell and did their best to alleviate
the suffering they found on every hand.
But with a Turkish price on his head
the father finally made his way with
his family through Russia to Finland
and then to this country. What they
tell of conditions and needs in Armenia
is first hand evidence.
In the Caucasus, Armenia, Syria,
Turkey and Persia are more than 25O,-
600 orphans, helpless little victims Of
war, massacre and deportation, and
for the great majority the only bar be-
tween them and absolute starvation
is bowl of hot bean soup every day.
This soup is supplied by the Near East
Relief now making an appeal to
the American people for sufficient
funds to increase this dole and to pro-
vide these suffering little ones with
clothing and give them an education
that will help them to become self sup
porting. 1t is estimated that more
than 100000 in Western Asia will
die Of starvation unless American aid
Is continued.
