CHARITY
CALL HEAVY

March set record in the history
of the Associated Charities. More
demands for relief were, received
than ever before, according to the
official report submitted to the board
OF managers yesterday at their meet
ing in the Social Service House.
Thanks to the Community Chest,
however, the needed funds were
available. So pleased were tha
managers that Charles G. Glover,
jr.. was requested to write a letter
OF appreciation TO the officers Of
the chest.
The report showed a total outlay
Of s7,9le.27. During the month there
were $765 families under care as
compared VITA 53S families in
March, 1928. an increase of more
than 40 per cent. Unemployment,
illness, family desertion and impris-
onment of wage earners continued
to be the leading causes Of family
dependency.
The board elected as its two rep
resentatives on the Council of So
cial Agencies for the ensuing year
Newbold Moves, with Franklin Ellis
as alternate, and the general secre.
tary, Walter s. Ufford, representing
the staff.
