CHILDREN'S AID
FINANCIAL CAMPAIGN
Cecil County Branch In Need
CT Funds Goal Set
At $1,000

goal of $1,000 will be sought in
the coming financial campaign OF the
ChilGren's Aid Society Of Cecil
county, the amount to cover the
needs of the agency for he 10
months period from January /,
1884, to April /, 1885. The cam
paign. for which Senator Wallace
Williams is chairman, will be held
in February.
The objective was approved by the
Advisory Budget Committee at
meeting at the North East High
School, after being first approved by
the Board of Directors at their meet
ing.
those present at the hearing OF
the Advisory Budget Committee,
which agreed that this amount IS es-
sential if the agency is to meet the
needs OF local neglected and de-
pendent children, were; Senator
Williams; Miss Alice Miller, OF Port
Deposit; Joseph Coudon, Of Perry
Vile; Harry L. Croak, OF Elkton;
Edwin S. Dorcus, of Elkton, Paul
Sweet, of North East; and Miss
Bertha Balderston, of Colora, who,
as President OF Tie Society. served
in an ex-oficio capacity.
Miss Nellie Jean Beardsell, Direc-
tor CT the Society, made report on
the work of the agency and told OF
it's financial difficulties. She point
ed out that the government is not
providing funds for children in need
Of special care, federal money being
available for unemployment relief
orIy. She said that 10 children are
now being cared for in private
homes, the agency paying for their
beard at nominal rate, and that
eleven otl:er children are in need OF
care, viii h the Society is at present
unable to provide. These children,
she said, are exposed to moral and
health menaces in their present en-
yironments.
"The Childrens Aid Society has
been caring for dependent, neglected
and crippled children since 1928.
II has not only given foster home
care in this time. but has rendered
service to hundreds Of children in
their own homes" Miss Beardsel
reported. During the past t.
years the seriou unemployment sit
uation in our county has over
Swallowed the needs Of ligtle children
who require special care outside of
their own homes, and of little child
rem without homes of their own.
"since April, 1888, our county
has been receiving federal funds
for unemployment relief. The gem
eral public is therefore under the
impression that the needs are being
met. but has not realized that there
are little children who are suffering
ard are the responsibility Of Cecil
County. Today the Children's Aid
finds itself in a bad financial condi-
ton and unable to give them the as
sfstance which we know they should
have. During the quarter OF Octob-.
er, 1s33-January, 1884, nine child
rem were definitely committed as our
responsibility, more than ever ac-
cepted in any previous quarter.
1--WE have economical at every
conceivable point but we believe
that the community will realize that
it is not sound economy to deprive
Helpless children of their inherent
rfesats. This is an investment which
VIII be measured not in dollars and
cents, but in the health, the social
and moral welfare, and the happi-
ness OF tomorrow's citizens " Miss
Beardsell concluded.
