not tail to share it with tho needy.
The charity work in tho citv has heretofore hoen mostlv

wasted energy
Such a body is tho Associated Charities. It is newlv
launched and as yet poorly supported, yet it- is doing a
world of good. Jt neods jplothus. especially for children,
food and other supplies, especially Christinas gifts.
There are no salaries or other expenses connccrcd with
the organization. The rent is donated, tho autos donated
and the time of the workers given freely. The needs they
are supplying are real and urgent.
