With only five days to Easter Sunday, the campaign of the Associated Chari- ties and Citizens' Rellef Assoclation at noon today showed scarcely more than one-third the number of contributing members needed toward the goal of 10,000 for which the finance committee is appealing. Of the $25.000 needed at the opening of the Easter campaign in order to complete their budget of $55,000, these family welfare ugencies still require $21,500. In a statement by Milton E. Ailes, chairman of the joint finance commit- 1ee, attention is called to the oppor- tunity presented to the citizens of Wash- ington at this Laster season to help make the city a hgppler, healthier, more propserous place for all by enlisting in support of these combined cjty-wide, non-sectarian organizations for the re- Jief and prevention of poverty and suf- fering.

No less than thirty-five different Kinds of service were rendered in the 11,630 visits made by the District workers of these assocluted charities lest year.
