OPPORTUNITY FUND
MOUNTS TO $10,121.
Associated Charities Makes
Appeal for $4,855 Still
Lacking of Total.

The total for Washington's IA
neediest families, whose cause is pleaded
in the annual Christmas Opportunity
appeal, had amounted to $10,121 last
night, but many of the women and
children for whom the money is sought
will feel the pinch of want during the
coming year if Washington fails to con-
tribute the S4,855 which is still lacking.
Contributions can be sent direct to
The Star, or to John B. Larner, treas
urer. Associated Charities, 1922 Eleventh
street. The fund, if completed, will
supplement the budget requirements OF
II adults and IS children.
Officers of the Associated Charities
are gratified at the wide response to the
appeal, but pointed out that disappoint-
ment must inevitably be the lot of many
of its wards if the fund Is not made
complete by New Year day, when the
lists will be closed.
A summary of the subscription lists
shows that $40 individuals and So or
ganizationS have contributed this year.
The corresponding figures ct last year
up to New Year day, when the list was
closed, practically fully subscribed with
$I5.O8O asked for, were 755 individuals
and II church and other organizations,
a total of 826. Two of last years con-
tributors have assumed for the coming
year full responsibility for the families
which they took care of in 1928, their
gifts representing more than $1,000.
The Associated Charities is holding
at the request of the donor $100 to be
used at the last moment for the Oppor-
tunity farthest behind.
