CHARITIES DRIVE
MAKES NEW START
Volunteer Workers and Hotels
Take Hand in Raising Bal
ance of $4,000.

New hope has been given to the
joint finance committee of the
Associated Charities and the Citi-
zens' Relief Association in the ef-
fort to raise the balance of this
years budget left over from the re.
cent Easter campaign. The amount
still required Is about $4,000, as
the total obtained up to yesterday
was just over $4,000, with a mem,
bership Of 4,O65.
The new hope is based on two
facts. One was the volunteered
services of members of the Easter
campaign committee in personally
seeing certain large contributors
of last year who have not yet been
heard from. The other was the en-.
couraging results received from a
personal letter sent by A. c. Moses,
proprietor of the Burlington Hotel,
to the employees of his organization
The letter simply called. their at
tention to the work done by the
Associated Charities for people in
distress and offered to transmit TO
that agency any contributions they
cared to make, deducting the same
from salary accounts.
Up to yesterday Mr.. Moses Of
flee had received forty-eight new
memberships, with a total cash
pledge of $109.
Since the Burlington started this
plan at least three other large
hotel organizations have decided to
do the same. Other hotels are post
ing notices that employees who wish
to contribute to the work can OBJ
tain subscription blanks from the
office of the company The plan
will be tried also in large CONNER.
