Defrauded by his employer with two worthless checks, destitute and weary with seeking: means to secure the ne cessities of life for his wife and 2-year-old child, a man appealed to the Asso ciated Charities yesterday for relief. When a visitor went to his home the rooms were cold and it was found that ' there was nothing- with which to- build a tire and no food in the house. This man was given relief at once through the Christmas felief fund of the Associated Charities, which already has reached a cash total of more than $1000 in donations and which Is doing great work in caring for the poor of the city in the stress of the Winter months. This case was only one of a score or more. Another man's sick wife was sent to the hospital and he, crippled and unable to work, was furnished with enough groceries and fuel to tide him over the present difficulties. 15-Year-Old Wife Destitute. Another case that was furnished re lief was that of a 15-year-old wife who expects to become a mother soon. Her husband was out of work and there was neither fuel nor food to be had and the girl could make no prepara tions for her baby. So, through the list of cases, the tory of relief work ran all day. In the meantime a steady number of appeals comes pourlr.g into the Chari ties to be met as rapidly as the relief fund makes it available. Not cash do nations alone are needed, but gifts of grocery supplies. In the grocery department of the Charities today is to bo made sugar day, and all who o re able are asked to donate a 25-cent sack of sugar. Only .potatoes, apples, bread and flour are now left in the grocery department, and there is need not only of sugar, but of oatmeal, lard, syrup and other supplies. If 50 persons bring sugar to day it is estimated that this will lit out that department of the grocery room for some time to come. Among the many cases that appealed yesterday for relief the following are typical: Opportunity 41 Man Forestalls Abso lute Destitution. Finding that his funds were almost gone and fearing m. period of bitter want unless work could be secured at once, a man appealed yesterday for assistance. He stid that he still has money, enough to care for his mother and sister who are dependent upon him for a short time, hut that he wants to get work immediately, so that they may not know any of the rinch and hunger that comes with complete destitution. He understands irrigation work and farm activities. He Is desirous of get ting onto a farm if possible where he can have his family with him. Opportunity Injured Father Asks Help. With his hand injured so that he Is not able to work for a long time, a man is appealing to the Charities to help him care for his family until he can earn a living independently again. It will be necessary for him to go to the hospital for treatment. Dependent upon him is a wife and three small children. Opportunity 43 Boy Support. Family. The entire burden cf supporting a family of seven falls upon the shoulders of a 17-year-old boy. The father has been out of work for a long time and has not been able to And employrr.eut. Two of the children were members of one of the fresh air parties sent out by the Charities last Summer, and this led them to seek again its help in the present need. The father needs work! and the family is in need of clothing for the children, who are in school, and other supplies for immediate relief. CITY TO SELL C0RDW00D Commissioner Brewster Says Fuel Acuinulutes at Beaverton. The city Is going to enter into com petition with dealers in cordwood. Com missioner Brewster announced to the .City Council yesterday that the men who have been given employment at .the municipal woodyard near Beaver ton have produced a large pile of cord wood ready for the market. It is not certain yet just how the wood will be sold, but it probably will be sold at retail. city Attorney La Roche has been asked for an opinion as to the right of the city to sell the wood without advertising for bids. Worthy unemployed are being paid 75 cents a cord for chopping the wood. The city proposes to sell it at cost. POLICE GATHER RELIEF Christmas Funds for Destitute Xow of Businesslike Proportions. The fund raised anions- themselves by Portland policemen for the purpose of adding Christmas cheer to homes of destitute families has assumed busi nesslike proportions, and the relief committee already has a number of cases on hand. All of the officers have donated willingly to the fund and most of them knew of some needy family that should be helped. President Epps, of the Police Ath letic Association, has named commit tees to handle all the cases and to take care of the fund, and the officers believe their efforts will cover a field hardly touched by the charitable organisations.
