WOMAN'S CLUB
WELFARE WEEK
OPENS MONDAY
SPECIAL CONCESSIONS WILL
BE GRANTED BY THEATER
MANAGER FOR BENEFIT EN-.
TREATMENTS

The Key West Woman's Club
welfare week will open Monday
when special concessions will be
granted at the Strand Theate. Ac-
cording to arrangements made by
the Fine Arts Department of this
club, and the courtesy of Manager
Carbonell of the Strand, one paid
admission will admit two persons.
The paid admission must be ac-
companied by a guest who will
bring at least 10 cents worth of
groceries, and a circular contains
ing coupon which will be dis
tributed in a day or two.
This plan of collecting food for
needy persons is now being eff
fectively used in other cities, and
the Woman's Club has adopted it
in an effort to supply needy
families.
1t is hoped that the public will
take advantage of this generous
offer of the theater management,
and also help the Woman's Club
in caring for needy families. The
food brought to the Strand will
be turned over to the philanthropic
committee of the public welfare
department of the club for dis

YOUNG WOMEN
TO MAKE DRIVE
FOR RED CROSS
HOUSE TO HOUSE CANVASS
PROPOSED; MEMBER SHIP.
GOAL PLACED AT EIGHT
HUNDRED

A group of young women will
conduct house to house canvass
soliciting memberships in the pres
ent Red Cross roll call. 1t is
thought that by making a thorough
canvass of the city, Key West viii
be able to reach the membership
goal of 500 enrolled.
Officers in the local chapter call
attention to the need for a chapter
in this city, phase of relief work
which seems to be overlooked. The
vast amount of work done through
the chapter in serving local needs
and caring for veterans and their
families, demonstrates the need
of chapter here, and it is point
ed out that if Key West had no
Red Cross chapter, there would
not have been distribution of
flour, nor distribution of material
and ready made garments, such
as have been distributed from the
chapter rooms during the past
month.
Considering these relief neces-
sites received from National Red
Cross headquarters, the chapter
officers ask that Key Westers re-
spond to the call for memberships
in the great humanitarian organi-
cation, the American National Red
Cross.

KEY RESIDENTS
ASKING RELIEF
in DEPRESSION
LETTERS RECEIVED BY MRS.
ADAMS OF WoMAN'S CLUB;
APPEAL MADE FOR NECES-
SARY ARTICLES

Families on the keys are asking
relief, according to Mrs. James
Adams, chairman, Public Welfare
Department of the Woman's Club.
This club officer is in receipt of
a request from a resident on one
Of the keys asking for a wood
burning cook stove, and Mrs.
Adams makes an appeal to the pub
lie for such a stove. The family
in need of this stove is worthy
one, according to Mrs. Adams, who
states that if anyone has such a
stove and is willing to give it. she
will have it Grated and shipped to
the family making the request.
The following letter was receiv-
ed by Mrs. Adams from mother
of a family now on one of the
keys, and it was read lat meet
ing of the Woman's Club Tues
day afternoon when it struck deep
ly into the hearts of all women
present:
The letter is addressed to Mrs.
Adams:
"Dear Friend: feel bad to have
to write you. We have just moved
on the keys on a place. thinking we.
could get lines enough to keep us
up until we could get in some to-
matoes, but we find the place has
no lines, and now we are in great
need. The children, 3 go to
school, 2 are babies at home. Those
going to school go without food
and get only what the other chill
dren may give them, a half sand
witch to eat.
II have nothing to give them
for lunch and not a thing for
them to eat when they come home.
If we could get a little help until
the tomatoes come on we would be
so grateful. Would you be kind
enough to see if you could not do
something. The boys need cloth
ing for school. One is IL, one 10
and the other 0. The little ones
are boy, 4, and a girl, 3 years.
Now please don't just throw this
aside because we are really starv-
ing and if you could send some
thing to help US out | am sure
you will get a blessing. We are
Key West people. Anything you
can send win be appreciated.
II will be praying while this let
ter is gone. Please let me know
if you can help us. If | could make
anything to keep us going / would
not ask, but for the children's
sake they need shoes badly. The
oldest boy wears ". For Gods
sake help us or. Wen starve.
IL know no one else to call on.
Please let me know what you can
do and thanking you from the bot
tom of our hearts. If you have
children you know what it means
to have them 60 to sleep crying
for food they can't get. Oh, /
just can't tell you how l feel, so
once more | thank you. We have
no money to buy anything with.
Not even coal oil for our stove.
| use bucket with sand in it to
cook on"
