SHELTERING ARMS IS


 In connection with their coming cam paign for funds, the United Workers des- cribe one branch of their work The Shelt- ering Arms, as follows:
 It may be that you never heard of that home on HarIand road belonging to the United Workers and called the Sheltering Arms. Those who do know about it will tell you that it is just such home as the name implies, a quiet, comfortable, cheer ful and well managed home.
 To whom does it extend Sheltering Arms? To those women who are no longer physically able to care for them selves and who have no family or friend to care for them. Also to women, young or old, who are temporarily out of work, needing a home and care while recuperat- ing after an illness.
 The home accommodates fifteen women, and it is very seldom that there is any vacancy. There is always waiting list, sometimes a long one. How much such women appreciate the attention and kindly care that they re- ceive there can best be told by themselves We have no age limit nor any fixed price for board. Each one pays as she or her friends are able to pay The home is also non-sectarian. There is no choice
 
 same attention.
 Most of the family need a good deal of care, necessitating the services of two ! nurses all of the time. A substitute nurse comes in when her services are required A matron, one cook, one second girl, laundress four days a week ald man to care for the furnace and grounds help to compose a household of twenty-one people. / 1 It is unfortunate that this department of the United Workers has never had funds enough to make itself supporting 1 s33,594 is ali that we have and s1S,424 of that is restricted. Last year from in terest and board we received $2914.0S and from donations only $19s.46.
 The budget for this department for i 1921 is $S,SS8. You will readily see that much for our support must come from ] the general funds of the United Workers | Many people have the mistaken idea l that the Sheltering Arms department has large enough funds for it's support and l for building a new home. The above figures show that we need your support to continue this much needed and worthy work.
 Is there anything more appealing than to provide such a home for those whose days of toll are over that they may be happy during their remaining days,
