 There could be no more meritor- ious call made upon the citizenship of Jefferson county~than that of the associated charities.
 The countrywide charities have budgeted their needs in the. Asso- ciated Charities for the purpose of preventing the possibility of dupli- cation or waste in ministering to the poor and needy of Jefferson caunty.
 Through your contribution you will give a chance to the sick to get we'll; the down. hearted to take hope; the friendless to secure helpful counsel; the needy to seure the necessities of life and the incompetent to develop quslities that make for self-support.
 As civilized beings we are under obligation to aid in relieving the destitute and the afflicted men and women made temporarily helpless through sickness or other misfor- tune-babes betrayed, children cheated of their birth-right.
 You to whom the world is a place of cheer and contentment do you doubt that right here in your own county the grim spectres of sorrow and want are stalking hand in hand with death?
 Let your dollars help maintain this work.
