Young women and some from the
aged, who have to be discreet in
how they expend what little saw
ings they have. That many OF those
who have already given wish they
could have spared more s. evident
Some short notes that have ac-
companied the checks and money
state that the heart OF the giver is
big enough but the purse is limited.
One woman worker wrote-"here Is
50. It's all I can spare. I was going
TO lay il by as part OF my expenses
for a Christmas trip away. but I'll
stay at home and hope to send in an
other contributon-larger by christ
mas
Another wrote-"Inclosed md 50
that I was going to spend on pleas
ure this Christmas, but I know 1
shall feel better for having sent It
TO help some one less fortunate.
I've got a job, and am thankful
for It and sorry for those who
haven't"
The cold and snow drove those
needing fuel, clothing and food 70
the committee and also to the Asso-
ciated Charities yesterday and to-
dav Many Of the tales were too
paehetic and too secret in their sut-
fering TO bare to the world. They
were stories from men and women
who are willing to work but have
no places Just now. Respected and
law abiding and well thought OF.
Fortune is not smiling on them and
until things pick up they are COM
PEELED TO ask others TO help them.
Some Of the most deserving cases
however, are those whom the char
ity workers locate. They are too SEN
sitive to seek aid, out they will be
provided for, Just the same. In urg-
ing citizens to contribute to the fund,
John S. Russell said today: we are
confronted with the startling fact
that distress prevails among a Large
number of our people. This condi-
ton Affects very seriously the entire
community. II constitutes COM
mon cause in which every man.
woman and child has duty 70 per-
form. Even from a material poinl
OF view. for the general welfare OF
the city, but above all as Christian
duty OF the highest order. we are
Obliged to contribute TO the fullest
extent OF our ability toward the re-
lief OF the suffering. In times gone
by. from patriotic and humanitariar
motives. we have rendered splendie
service and sacrifice--let US do ever
more now. when our friends, neigh
bors. acquaintances, are in dires
need"
