The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-10-30
WATERYIEKE

The executive committee of the Mutual Aid Unemployment Fund has issued an appeal to all who have not yet subscribed to the fund to do 90 as quickly as possible and Waterville residents are requested to respond. The relief burden irn- posed upon the fund has reached the point where the income is not adequate to care for all cases. Nearly three thousand dollars per week is needed in addition to ap- proximately fifteen thousand now being subscribed if all of the un- employed and needy of the city are to receive relief during the winter months. This relief can be furnished only by those who are now earning.
 The public of Waterbury has handled the situation admirably during the past year and must not permit the project to fail of full completion during the present winter when more aid than ever is necessary. Although the majority of wage earners have been con- tributing regularly, there is a small minority of. residents who have consistently shirked their duty by refusing to contribute. The time has arrived when they, too, must cooperate if several hundred Waterburians, among them many small children, are to kept from extreme suffering and hunger. Pledges should be mailed to Lewis S. Reed, treasurer, at the Citizens and Manufacturers bank, Water bury.
 The relief committee is also in need of clothing of all kinds. Any contributions of discarded cloth ing, shoes, etc, should be delivered to the nearest fire station from which 1t will be forwarded to the clothing room on Kendrick ave- nue. Here under the direction of competent women it will be sort ed, cleaned, repaired, renovated, and, if unusable in its present con- dition cut down and made over into something which can be used. Shoes also are repaired and made wearable at the funds cobbler shop. There is absolutely nothing which cannot be used in some manner. Old sweaters are unrav- eled and the yarn reworked into socks and mittens and many other similar results accomplished.
 Waterville has always respond ed generously to every appeal make to it in the past and the ma jority of it's residents have admir- ably supported the unemployment relief work since it's inception. It is hoped that the small minority which has remained indifferent, up to this time to a very serious situ- ation, will awake to its seriousness and come through with the sup port so vitally necessary at this time.
