IMPORTANT
MEETING
TAKES PLACE

An intensive campaign for raising
funds with which to conduct relief
work among needy families of Ham
mond will be set on foot at a mass
meeting which will be held this even
ing at the Hammond Chamber Of Com
merce rooms. The meeting will start
at eight o'clock
Mayor Dan Brown has been giving
this problem his personal attention for
some time and he holds that making
preparations for meetings the calls of
the distressed this winter now ranks
first in Importance of the city's prob
lens.
Every day new cases of want come
to the attention of the mayor. Few
people except those in close touch with
the situation realize the conditipns that
exists in many homes and which are
bound to become worse and more nu-
merous as the severity of the weather
increases. There are children. un-
able to attend school because of lack
of shoes and clothing. Many other lit
tie ones go to school undernourished
There are homes where the only heat
is furnished by the cook stoves at the
meal time because of meagre supply OF
fuel
Daily such cases are being reported
to the mayor and charitable organiza-
tions. And the word generally comes
from outsiders. neighbors OF the needy
families who have stumbled on the
facts accidentally. The sufferers are
loathe to make their distress known
until dire necessity forces them.
Realizing that the task is big one
the Mayor has enlisted all of Ham
mond's civic organizations in the work
1t must be planned and handled syste
matically so that there will not be du-
plication Of effort in some cases and
neglect in others.
The plan, as roughly outlined, calls
for a fund OF about S2.5 to start with.
1t is hoped that at 2.500 or 5000 persons
can be signed up TO donate 81 a month
for six months. Some may contri-
butte more than 81 and a few may feel
that they cannot spare that much but
all sums will be welcome. The city
will divided into districts and canvas
sed thoroughly for funds Just as in
the war drives. Committees to con-
duct this work will be named tonight.
At the same time an OF TbaHiAdt dtAoH AOt
will be necessary Sew
eral investigators kvll be kept in the
field all winter, watching for cases OF
need and seeing that help is given only
where essential. The police depart
ment will aid greatly in this respect,
as usual.
The mavor wants every citizen who
nossibly can do so to be present to-
,ieht and aid in starting the move
ment.

to high costs and low prices.

enormous and the necessities of the
