DIRECTORY OF SOCIAL
!, AGENCIES COMPLETED
DR.. OdelI Says People Are En-
titled to Know How Their
Money is Spent.

DIR Jcseph II. Odell. director, SER
r,ce cit,zens of Delaware, in writing
tho nreface for the directory OF so
cial and philanthropic agencies OIL TINS
city. endeavors to tell why and now
the directory is issued. In MS eA-
planation DR.. Odell says:
"For some time many earnest men
and women of Wilmington have been
advocating a Community Chest. "A
Community Chest is simply the name
1ivep to one big drive which shall
raise all the money needed by all the
organizations and agencies that aP-
peal to the public for aid.
Naturally, IL there is to be such Il
drive the donors of Wilmington muss
know the total amount to be raised.
Hence this Directory will be Of use in
making the estimate.
But this Directory viii be of value
Even il the Community Chest project
does not appeal to the sponsors ana
Directors of the various organizations
Here listed Indeed, in any case, 1t is
4 much needed piece of publicity.
Several thousand copies will be print
ed and distributed without cost among
the citizens OF Wilmington. When
ever an appeal fer money or personal
service is made the recipient of the
sppeal may turn to the Directory and
find the names of the officers, the OBJ
iects Of the organization, its financial
conditions and its record If work ac-
complished. In order to make the
reference easy the various agencies
or organizations are listed alphabet
cally.
THE Directory Is published by the
Service Citizens of Delaware hut the
information was gathered and COM
piled by Charles F.. Ernst. the EXecu-
tive Secretary Of the Community Ser
vice. Months of effort have been given
I getting complete and accurate re
ports. But we are afraid that the re
ports are not absolutely complete or
accurate. The fiscal years of the
organizations begin at various times
and some of the statements may he
out of date before the Directory can
he placed in the hands Ct the people
Next. although we have tried TO obtain
our information from the responsible
officials of the agences described, the
manner of presentation may not suit
Nnfll lucas. cNliis we nave UOUt NAit
best we could with a very difficult
problem.
perhaps some organization may
have been inadvertently omitted: Il
50. It Is our deep regret. Some agep-
Cies have been included which oper-
ate beyond Wilmington but which
nevertheless serve Wilmington. Also
number have been inserted which Dc
not appeal TO the public for funds bu'
are state supported or are financed by
eudowments or trusts. These are
given as a matter Of information
1t Is our hope that this Directory
because Of its incompleteness. MAY
lead TO second and more satisfactory
one.
There Is no doubt upon one point
shat the people who support social ant
philanthrupic enterprises are entitle,
to clear and accurate account q
what money is received and how 4 I,
spent. No really good cause has any
thing to hide from its patrons or from
he public az large"
