New Britain herald., 1923-03-01

club yesterday afternoon at the home
of Mrs. E. 0. Sheridan. her subject
being on welfare work in New Brit
ain.
Miss Beale devoted herself largely
to describing typical cases that come
up. She said that there is one kind
of family that needs help, their need
arising from temporary financial diff
ficulties. They are given a helping
hand and are soon on their feet
again. Then there are other kinds.
who can be helped and helped, time
and again and always seem to be in
the same condition. Transients also
come into consideration, people who
arrive in the city without money or
means of getting anywhere.
One point brought out by the
speaker was that the majority of
cases are those of people who are GO
ing through period of difficulty, and
who would otherwise be capable of
supporting themselves. After the
crisis passes they need no more help.
Miss Beale said that some of the
most interesting cases are those OF
widows who need help in order to
keep together and raise their chill
dren in the manner in which they
should be raised.
The Motherhood club is planning to
meet for an afternoon of sewing in
order to aid in charity work in New
Britain. The talk given by Miss
Beale was much appreciated and a.
large number was present at the
meeting.
