Drug Fund Helps All of Us
When We Need Help in a Hurry

dents of this community who find
themselves in immediate need OF
medicine but have to wait until
payday to make the purchase if a
cash payment is required.
A cursory review of the rec
ords reveals that during the first
seven months of this year pay
ments received by the fund
amounted to approximately 1878.
This is an average of more than
$50 a month. The average pay
ment has exceeded 81 during this
period. ......
Losses have been relatively
small, and most of these have re-
suited from people moving out of
town. Of the amounts owed by
people still residing here, only
two are considered complete losses.
After a person owes bill for a
while and has made no effort to
pay it, he is refused further
credit until the bill has been paid.
Purchases may be made through
this fund at the drug store. At
tcndants there keep record OF
the transactions. Someone ap-
pointed by the Citizens Association
has charge Of the fund. The credit
that can be given for medicinal
supplies is limited to the amount
available in the fund. Once it mas
been used up, no further credit
is granted until payments nave
been received.

BY R. S. SOwELL

A number of Greenbelters find
the Citizens Associations drug
fund" quite beneficial to them just
before payday if they need medi-
cine and do not have the ready
cash to pay for it. Others might
take advantage of the fund if they
we're aware of it's existence.
The fund may be used for medi-
cinal purposes only. The only re-
quirement is that payment
pledge be signed by the purchaser.
No matter the amount, the charge
for this service is 5 cents if paiG'
within Is days or 10 cents if paid
within 80 days from the date Of
purchase.
The GOA. drug fund was be
gun in 1888 with a S. contribu-
ton by Herbert E. Evans. At
later date Mr.. Evans contributed
an additional SIS. During the III
tervening period the fund has
grown-from contributions and
from the nickels and dimes paid
by patrons for it's USE Ito about
$50, even after a few losses have
been written off.
1t is a voluntary and independ-
ent fund, subscribed by Mr.. Evans
ard the welfare committee of the
Citizens Association, it was
