FOUR DAYS OF WORK LEFT Help- or Generous People . of Port land Is Solicited by Workers. City's Charitable Organlza- . , : tlons Hold Conference v .. A total ofNJS474.22 was the result of the count of donatlon3 at the Public Welfare Bureau "headquarter .yester day, and there still remains a list of the coin cards and mail donatio? to be checked up. This total falls far hort of the $25. O00 that will be needed to handle all the relief work of the Public Welfare Bureau for the coming year, and the organization is trying .urgently to raise the full amount now, so that it will not be needful to conduct another campaign for at least a year? There are four days more -.until Christmas, and something like $15,000 needed to complete the fund. Need of Aid Emphasized. "We shall need the help of the gen erous people of Portland In these four days as we have never needed it be fore, if we are to be successful in our work this year," tsaid Secretary Gep hart yesterday. Last year the Associated Charities raised about $25,000 in the whole year. The Public "Welfare Bureau, which is Its successor, is asking no more, and is In a position to cover the field of relief more thoroughly than ever be fore. ' Yesterday conference of the char itable organizations that are to give out baskets on Christmas met at the Public Welfare Bureau and checked up on the homes into which they are to send baskets, thus eliminating from the relief work this year the duplica tion of relief and preventing the pos sibility of some families being over loaded with reliefe while others go needy. - Contributions Are Listed.
