Welfare League Drive For Charities Must Be Con- tinued; Workers Too Few To Cover City In Time Originally Set

While there were few new work CTS out yesterday in the Maricopa county Welfare League drive, many of those Who were out the previous day ta1led to appear, with the result that the oay did not see a material ad- vance in totals. Some of the teams have done remarkably well, however. The teams from the Phoenix Woman's club have turned in the greatest num- Der of donations and pledges, while 13 of the 15 teams of the kiwanis club have turned in the largest amount of money, $4.171.
 'The town is but scratched said Dave Goldberg last night When all is counted and turned in we will have probably one third of the amount of money necessary and but one tenth of the town fully covered. Workers have reported good results and a very sym pathetic feeling towards the campaign, believing it to be the only scientific and busincssliSe method of handling the local charities, but we have lacked sufficient number of workers to see all of the people.
 The idea of one drive, one outlay of time. one donation, one week in the year set aside for charities, one col lection end the removal of the money raising away from the charities them selves, has appealed to the business men. although some of them forget when writing out their pledges that 1t is for six charities instead of one. or course, in the first year under this plan there have been some conflicts due to the fact that the Anti Tuberculosis association and the Florence Crlttenton Home already had done some solicit ing, but the crediting of amounts all ready given, as well as that donated through the recent dinner of the Mer chants and Manufacturers association for the hungry and homeless Mexicans. is merely matter of bookkeeping that can be taken care of after the drive is over."
 For All Races and Creeds
 To correct the idea which seems prevalent that the Council of Jewish Women work only among the Jewish people Mrs. l.. J. Nicholson, who repre- sents that organization in the Welfare League made the following statement: "Our work has been to adminiStet charity and immediate relief wherever we have found it necessary. In our work we have helped many needy and sick people and we do not stop to in- quire their creed and in fact some of the cases during the past year which have drained heaviest on our funds have been outside the Jewish people, One donation last year of $200 was made to the Day Nursery"
 We had hoped that we could rally enough support in the four days of the
 
 a bang.r said MT. Goldberg, and we could if we had had sufficient mum Der of solicitors. We did hope that no additional time would be necessary, but there are so many people and business houses which have not yet been seen that a supplementary drive probably will be necessary. It is our intention not to stop until every person and every business house in the city has had the opportunity to say Here's your pledge card, filled out or Let them starve.'"
 Business houses and citizens who have not yet been reached do not want to feel that they have been overlOoke< if they have seen no solicitors. We will get to them yet, but better still. they could save us the trouble of sending a solicitor by sending in their donation or pledge directly to the drive head quarters at the chamber of commerce rooms."
