Associated Charities Report Shows Extent Of Aid To Unemployed A business handling more than $3,000 in seven months is a fairly respectable business in these days of empty pock etbooks and red ink ledgers. It is because business condi tions are In the present shape and that unemployment rs rampant, that the report of this particular business totals up as it does, in the report of the Associated Chart tie from November 1, 1031, to May 31, 1933, prepared by the secretary. Mrs. Mae Carson Young, the books show that $3,448.25 in money has been received into the relief or ganization's collars, and relief work estimated at $3,938.43 given the needy of Salem and vicinity. Impossible to estimate in aoi- lars and cents Is the amount of good will, of cheerful cooperation, of Interested advice on personal problems and of constructive sym pathy not only from the Associ ated Charities staff to those In need of help, but among the peo ple calling for assistance toward each other. It Is a matter of cooperation, for the needy asking assistance at the Charities office gladly turn In and do the few little tasks asked ot them, such as cutting wood, help ing in tlie soup kitchen, putting up food for next winter s use, mend ing and cleaning garments donated through the Charities, and general sewing. Aside from help given the organisation at Christmas time with street kettles, and some sew ing and repair work, the only work done for groceries is on the wood pile. All clothing Is given without work being required. During the seven months, the As sociated charities received 3.5o0 from Community Service; $74495 in donations from other sources; $130.80 from sales of wood, lumber and brick when men working for the Charities pulled down some old buildings; $12 from room rents, and $10.50 paid for use of the truck. Overhead lor tne seven montns were: For salaries, cook $uo, sec retary $650, truck driver $120; rent, office and woodyard, $175; elec tricity. $16.62; water, $19.55; office expense, $2525; telephone $2425; auto expense $152.32; miscellaneous including roofing for house, voois, hardware, etc., $12.82; totaling !, 326.81. A resume of relief work done during the seven months shows that groceries valued at si.wa.uo were distributed: 4148 arucies n clothing valued at $705.15, 96 loads ot wood valued at $22225 and 79 articles of furniture valued at $70.85 were given to those in need. The numbers of families assisted were: During November, 131; De cember, 173; January, 147; Febru ary, 138; March, 110; April, 80; and May, 137. Through the soup kitchen, the Associated Charities does a valuable service in taking care of transients. Each transient was asked to cut three sticks of wood for bis meal, and from November 1 to May 31, 5213 meals were served transients. All nersons receiving meals were requested to register, but some did not do so, so the number of meals served was larger than recorded. Twenty dollars a month Is paid to the soup kitchen cook, and the kitchen each day requires about 20 pounds of bread, a pound ox cotiee, 35 pounds of potatoes, 10 pounds of beans, two and a halt gallons oi fruit, Jelly, etc., and three gallons of milk. Other vegetables, meat and food stuffs are used as they are received. The wood yard run by the As sociated Charities has been very useful In caring for the needy. Two hundred and filty-flve dollars were paid out for stumpage, and 265 cords of wood cut from the wood lot. The men cutting this wood were paid with 26 cords of wood valued at $131 and groceries val ued at $179.78, the groceries entire ly separate from groceries listed under relief. Approximately 285 cords of wood are on hand, the cords of wood paid out for cutting having been purchased back in March, 1931. Wood and grocery allowance Is made at the rate of $1 for each cord ot wood cut. PICNIC PARTY LOST GULF OF GEORGIA Vancouver, B.

This is the first intimation that tne maepen- dent-republlcan forces of Governor Meier might be seriously interested in having a hand In organizing the state committee, as much of the governor's strength has been at tributed to the manner In which he has held aloof from party politics.

The antl-Pierce forces feel that Donough Is too close to Pierce, who besides being the national com mitteeman Is also the party's nom inee for congressman from the sec ond district.
