 Organizations

A meeting held Wednesday night at slio chamber of commerce spoke well TOT the success of the efforts of the 4aIicopa County Welfare league in salsiactorily putting over the com oihed campaign for local charities that IS scheduled for next week. The meet ing was attended by about 50 repre- sentatlVes of civic and fraternal or sahzatfons in the community who ex- pressed interest in the plans of the Welfare league after the plan was ex- piained fully to them by l.. R. Chal- mers and David Goldberg
 The meeting was opened by MT chalmers, who president of the Mar1copa County Welfare league, ex- plalned its origin and objects. MT. Chalmers showed particularly the val ue of coordinating local charities through one organization, to serve without cost. "The object of the whole movement. MT. Chalmers stated, "is to avoid the multiplicity of drives, ito put charities on businesslike basis, and to avoid undue duplication of charitable effort
 David Goldberg, who is in direct charge of the campaign, told of the work of the Associated Charities ths Maricopa County Anti Tuberculosis association, the Maricopa County Free Health Clinic, the Council of Jewish Women, the Colored Womens Charity club and their needs for the next year.
 These organizations are now full members of the league said MT. Gold berg, ''and as such they will have the advantage of being in the combined drive as well as the many other ad- yantages that can be offered them through the confidential exchange and i other branches of the leagues work
 The confidential exchange idea was presented to the gathering and met with considerable siasm. It has been started, it was ex- plained, for the prevention of over Tapping and duplication of charitable or social work. It has a directory of the names of families aided by char itable and social agencies in the val ley. One illustration was cited of a case where seven different charitable organizations were aiding one family, thus making a waste of time and caus- ing a condition which ofter pauperizes a family.
 Intelligent charity. after giving emergency relief, aims to readjust the problem of needy families, making them self supporting, self respecting and worth while citizens of the com munfty. The confidential exchange is the business office and clearing house of the charitable organization.
