Six Organizations Depend
On Public For Continual
ton OF Wide Programs

Without the service Of Associated
Charities, the Salvation Army, tht
Travellers Aid, the Public Health
Nursing Service, the Sorosis Chile
and Care Clinic, and the Gather
inc Kennedy Home, how large
gap in the welfare and health &C
tivities would there be in Whining
ton.
At a time when the city leans
SO heavily on its organizations to1
support of its increasing and de-
manding wartime population these
six agencies, for which portion
of hte funds to be realized in the
forthcoming Community Chest
campaign is designed, have earn
ed Just commentator. A number
of the six have been doing busl-
ness at their stands between 70
and so years, and their work Is

ested in the well-being of their TEL
low-citizens.

may perhaps be best in its files OF
case histories. Even in a day OF
comparative prosperity, there are
persons who depend on the hunanl-
tartan efforts of this organization
for their very lives and sustenance.
There are the feeble, unable to
work; the sick and cripple; those
handicapped by lack of education
and training; those afflicted with
personality handicaps who are COM
pletely unable to get along with
others. There are hundreds of in
dividuals confronted with personal
emergencies, the immediate need
OF money for necessities, and the
like. Associated Charities proves
their friend.
John Smith is a worker who can
command a good salary when he
is not working on the county roads
rs a sentence for drunkenness. His
frail family need his support, but
just at the time when they are
getting on their financial feet, he
is on another spree. Associated
Charities sees to the requirements
of his children, and seek to help
them into a more decent growing
environment. A young man from
just such a Wilmington home,

Community Chest Supports Principal
Welfare And Health Activities Here

where the Associated Charities has
entered, has recently been award
ed the Army's good conduct med
al: the agency has often lent him
a place to sleep, food, shoes, and
clothing so that he could continue
his schooling and grow up to be a
credit to home, community, and
country.
The Salvation Army's service
and ministry are communicative
The local corps of the Army, of
which Captain J. H. Neighbours is
the director is maintained by home
neople for the benefit of Whining
tonians and the transients who find
their way to our streets. The or
eanization is engaged in humanitar-
ian and religious effort carried on
by no other agency. War has ex-
tended those services, so that men
of the armed forces are the recip-
tents OF the Army's hospitality and
goodwill.
Statistics help to attest to the
work Of the Salvation Army; from
January l through August 81 of
this year, there were Ill open air
meetings. held, with 1921 in atten-
dance; 1,010 lodgings supplied; e.
357 meals supplied, 1877 fuel orders
given, 1882 garments given, 2,006
prisoners visited, 1882 lodgings
given servicemen, 116 persons for
whom temporary positions were
found.
Less known than some other
phases of the Ar1ny's work are its
efforts to provide disqualification
for homeless unmarried mothers,
it's child aid program, its recrea-
tional program in the industrial
sections.
The young wife of a Marine
came all the way from Rhode Is
land to spend the last days with
her husband who was looking for
ward to overseas transfer. While
she waited at the station for the
bus on which she was to return
home, she lost her purse, contain
ing her ticket and all her money.
The Salvation army provided lodg-
ing and food and saw that she made
the trip safely.
Travellers Aid, maintained in the
Atlantic Coast Line station by Miss
Julia Yopp and two part-time assis-
tants, has handled 673 cases with

tivity.
An example of it's work: 4 young
sailor, whose home is a few miles
from the city, was on leave from
his post in Washington state. The
day he was to leave for his post,
he rushed to the train, leaving his
shipping orders in the excitement.
When the discovery was made, it
was too late to return for them, he
applied for help to the Travellers
Aid bureau. Arrangements were
made for the valuable papers to be
rushed, special delivery, air mail
to Travellers Aid, Chicago and the
Chicago branch was warned to be
on the lookout. The sailor picked
up his orders the minute he walk
ed into the Chicago station.
The Wilmington Public Health
Nursing association began to furr-
ton in December, 1918, although
since 1904 provision had been made
for the sick-poor of the community
by interested organizations.
Wilmington is the first city in
the state to have a public health
nurse.
Miss Columbia Munds, supervis.
or of nurses in the association, re.
ports that her present staff consists
of two county nurses who care for
white and Negro patients, six white
city district nurses, two Negro city
district nurses, one nurse in the
maternity clinic, and four nurses
in the venereal disease clinic main
tanned by the county Board of
Health.
In the year 1912, the ten field
nurses made 1900 home visits 712
visits to clinics, LAS visits to
schools, 1927 inspections of school
children, 9,5O8 innoculations for
prevention Of diseases.
Strengthened by our member
ship in the Community Chest, since
1912, we hope to be able to give
increasingly better service to the
community" Miss Munds has COM
mented.
The Sorosis Child Care Clinic has
been in operation for Is years, as
a project of the Wilmington branch
of the North Carolina Sorosis. Its
services are free in needy pre-na-
tai cases with children up to three
years. A doctor and nurse are In
attendance at each examination,
and are able to prescribe diets to
correct physical deficiencies. Milk
and baby foods are also provided.
In 1912 this clinic won a state
award for the best service Of its

Community Chest, the clinic is an

to soften some property owners

An inspector in war plant, Mr..
Scheid said landlords refused to

got to be reared somewhere"

"Children, they say, are heaven sent,
But to have them means you cam

But, to save our souls, we can't
find a house.
