WELFARE BOARD
 SOLICITS FUNDS

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Dec. 10.-An- nouncement was made today by Miss Virginia B. Handley, director of the state child welfare department, that a Christmas letter campaign to raise funds for the childern's aid division of the state child welfare department will be inaugurated.
 The children's aid division, formerly the Alabama Childern's Aid society, is greatly in need of funds, Miss Handley stated. The 1923 legislature failed to make an adequate appropriation for this work so that campaign to raise funds is necessary. A letter campaign has been tried successfully in the past, and it is believed that the people of the state appreciate the value of the work sufficiently to contribute to 1t through a letter campaign without mak- ing some other form of appeal neces- SarV.
