To the Editor of The Times Dispatch:
Sir.-Thc inadequate response TO re-
cent appeals for the Associated
Charities presents n problem. Those
who have had opportunity to see with
their own eyes something Of the mis-
cry that exists in Richmond today,
due to bodily illness and TO lack OF
employment, and even those who
know Of such things only 10y hcarsay.
can hardly be really Indifferent to
the present condition OF many honest
and sclf-rcspccting, but very needy
people.
Large sums are continually being
raised for church and other public
purposes. unless frequent boastful
newspaper notices are misleading.
Why, then, the distressing shortage
of FUNDS for so worthy an institution
as the Associated Charities?
