Fund which carese for towns which
have no committee, and which sup
ports New Haven County publicity.
In previous years it has been GUS
tomary to have a County Fair to
cover the cost of the miscellaneous
expenses. AS this fair cannot be
held in 1913, every one Of the eleven
towns having committees will make
some contribution to this fund. The
board Of managers plans to have a
benefit, also for this regular eX-
penSe which cannot be met by any
allotment from Community Chest.
The average weekly cost of sup
porting a child at the Center Is
$3.50 This average, which appears
high, is caused by the fact that the
Center maintains, among its var
ious services, a convalescent cot
tage for children who are in need
Of care which cannot be given in
adequate homes, or who are re-
covering from hospital illness,
and have been removed to the Con-
valescent Cottage to give room for
other children requiring hospital
care.
AT n meeting OF the county extern
sion committee held recently, By
ron T. Hacker, executive director Of
the Children's Center outlined the
serious shortage of funds which
faces the institution in this year
of rising expenses. OF the items
which rise most rapidly the larg-
est are fuel, food and clothing. Do
nations of food are frequently made
by towns nearer the Center, which
is situated at 140O Whitney Avenue,
Hamden, Conn. Towns which are
at greater distance, having an
opportunity to help the Center
avoid dreaded deficit for the year
1943 by sending any attractive sec
ond-hand clothing to the Center.
A department at the Center is busy
each day remodeling clothes to
make them modish for Center chill
dren.
In 1912 the sum Of $75 was saved
for the Center by persons who knit
ted baby clothing. Mrs. Philip F..
Rice, 38 Walnut street, chairman
Of the Naugatuck committee for
the Center has directions which
may be used by anyone who is will
ing to knit baby clothes in 1913.
Mrs. Rice will also be glad to hear
from anyone who wishes to con-
tribute clothing.
In behalf OF the Center. Mrs.
Rice and her committee extend
warm gratitude to the many per-
sons who helped to make the Com
munity Revue such all outstanding
success; the newspapers the or
CARNATIONS. actors, dancers, sing
ers. cookie makers, directors, the
ticket-purchasers and contributors,
all of whom helped to earn the $500
to be sent to the Children's Gen.
ter for care of children in need OF
temporary relief.
