If the total gifts to the Oppor-
tunity Fund received up to date
were to be equally divided in pro-
portion to the budgets Of these
Fourteen Opportunities they would
be found to be sufficient to take
care Of these sixty seven people for
the next nineteen weeks or a little
less than two-fifths Of the year, but
there will be thirty-three other
weeks when the need will be just
as great. NNHt year Is leap year,
and there Is the extra day to be
taken care Of. If one were to count
up the number Of meals actually
needed in 1924 for these sixty-seven
folks they would find that there
were 1856 to be provided.

the time is short, and there are
still thirty-three weeks to be taken
