As one Of the four public enemies,
which the Chest is set to drive out
OF washington for another year,
Despair" Jennings charged was a
subtle enemy, cunning accomplice of
the other three-Crime, Disease and
Hunger"
Discomfort and Disorder.
1T seeks out men, women. whole
families, whose defenses have been
undermined by the ravsges of want
and disease" he said. 1T destroys
their weakened lf-confidence. When
despair grips the souls of large por-
ton Of q community's population,
mass discomfort and disorer may
readily result.
Despair saps the remaining
strength of those denied the salts
factions of work. 1t lures the youth
standing on the brink of crime. 1t
undermines the family. Children.
even, succumb to it when parents are
beset.
But despair is vulnerable. 1t has
been conquered in thousands of
homes in this community through
social service supported by your gifts.
The greatest single compensation
which many a social worker has in
her daily task is the knowledge that
she has banished despair from en-
dangering homes.
'"The antidotes for despair are the
special weapons of the agencies in the
chest. New courage, new resources of
initiative, new hope, new will power.
repeatedly have been produced where
sickness. encouragement and lack of
essentials Of decent living had broken
the home morale"
