Sickness, unem- ployment, widowhood and desertion are the four big . factors which bring people to us. Last year we asked Washington to give us 10,000 4 contributors. We obtained 5,299.

Help us make our list of contributors an HONOR ROLL OF SERVICE to the unfortunate, unbefriended and needy families of the National Capital.
