This is the outlook that family

money they had saved was burned
In the house. So far friends have
kept the family from applying for
help to the Associated Charities,
but they need help and eventually
unless some fairy comes along they
will have TO apply with others for
public aid
This case is pointed out as another
Illustration of why the Emergency
Relief Fund campaign is needed.

have homes and work should help
along those like this unfortunate
family.

dir esas fuentes, porque al fin y a la
