One Way to Eliminate
Suffering in Seattle

Editor The Star: Every in while we run across
a family in desperate circumstances read In the
newspapers Of 1000 children who unable TO attend
school because Of insufficient clothing.
No doubt many Of these needy do not ask for help
until forced TO do thru hunger for the simple reason
that they do not want ii to be published in the papers that
they asking for charity.
believe it is the duty OF everyone who has enough to
eat and TO help these needy There is no reason
why there should be cold hungry person In Seattle
II every head Of family and every unmarried person
who is making living wages would contribute just one
little 50cent piece month to fund to help these people
who without the necessities of life they could be
helped without newspaper publicity This would not work
n hardship the ordinary family person nor would
it mean sacrifice in any way.
Cannot you newspaper. start such drive for this
kind of fund in connection with the Welfare League
then anyone that down and out feel there is hope
for him to rise again.
Let have II said and make the saying true that there
Is not hungry cold person In Seattle this winter.
