es Campaign to Start at
Close of Week to Complete
And Equip Building.

Foundation work for the Maui Chill

pleted and the frame work OF the
building is going up above it, BY
March the home is expected to be
housing numbers of helpless little
ones for whom there is now no place.
But for the payment of the construc-
tion OF the building and its furnishings
further funds are needed. To secure
those funds a campaign will be launch
ed on Friday of this week and carried
on for five days to raise $4,000.
Committee Plans Campaign
Plans for the raising of the fund to
pay for the completion of the building
and for its furnishings have been pre-
pared by Central or Executive Com
mittee composed of Frank f. Bald
win, chairman; J.Garcia, George Cum
mings, c. $. Childs, Joseph H. Gray,
/ Mrs. a. n. Kepoikai Mrs. e. r. Bev-

There are being sent out some 1000
| letters which tell the why of the drive
| for funds for the Children's Home
| There has already been raised more
/ than $4,000 and the same amount is
needed to complete the building and
/ furnish it. The site has cost nothing.
some Of. the lumber was given by the
county from disused Malulani Hospi-

/ is being furnished practically at cost
/ by the Kahului Railroad Company and
the contractor and the architect are
doing their work at a minimum of
cost. Conservation of funds has been
and will be the rule. To complete the
building about six Of the $4,000 asked
will be needed in addition to the funds
that are available. The furnishings
will require the rest.
Need Is Apparent
When a child is left parentless on
Maui, there is no place for il on this
Island unless some kind couple take it
in. If a father is left with mother
less babe he must either get some
one to keep it for him or send it to
an institution in Honolulu. If kept
| by others it may or may not have pro
per attention.
II child is taken away from un-
healthful or from immoral surround
ings there is no place on Maui where
it can be sent and the Honolulu places
have their capacity taxed to handle
that city's own children of misfortune.
The courts and the police know best
the need of such an institution but
every person who has made a study
or will make a study of conditions
here can see its need
The executive committee urges
liberal donations and general ones for
a purpose that is most essential to the
Maui community. Any donations,
large or small will be welcomed
