Associated Charities Hope
New Year Gifts Cover
Shortage.

With sl0,107.s4 in hand, $4.86816 is
still needed to complete the fund for
the Fourteen Christmas Opportunities,
the Associated Charities announced to-
day.
The quotas for five opportunities have
been raised, and the workers hope con-
tributions sufficient to close the others
will be sent in as a New Year present
to the remaining nine families.
One donor writes: There seems little
choice in the destitution of these fami-
lies, vet there is an added pathos when
the element of foreign birth enters with
its unfamiliarity with the speech and
customs of the country, I am therefore
designating my small share in the work
to No. s."
Another writes, II note the slow prog
reSs in the fund, and am wondering IL
there is not some confusion in people S
minds regarding these families and the
blanket fund of the Community Chest. ;"
Those in charge of the work at the
Social Service House, 1t is said, fell that
there may be something in this Sugges-
ton, but explain that these opportunities
have been published with the consent
of the director of the Community Chest,
Elwood Street. and that any money
received for them will be credited to
these families and deducted from the
amount asked for from the Community
Chest by the Associated Charities.
Contributions may be sent to John
b. Larner, treasurer, Associated Cnar-
tiles, 1922 Eleventh street northwest,
or to the Office of The Star.
