0. % CAPTALRESPONDS TOCHRTY AFPEL Many Letters With Checks Inclosed Received at So- cial Service House. More than a hundred friendly re- sponses, with checks inclosed, were re- ceived in this morning’s mail at the Social Service House as the result of an appeal made through the mail by the joint finance committee of the As- sociated Charities and Citizens’ Relief Association informing them of the work done during the past year for families in distress and of the urgent need of more funds now to continue this care in hundreds of homes. Approximately 1 child in every 25 of Washington's child population was shown to be a member of an Associated Charities family last year, in the sum- marized statement of the results of service and relief work by field workers of the Associated Charities during the past year, given out yesterday at the Social Service headquarters. Marked Increase in Service. ‘The report indicated a marked in- crease in calls for both service and re- lief from ths families under care dur- ing the past 12 months. There were, according to the report. 1.909 such families, comprising 8.297 pevsons. of whom 4.640 were children under 16 years of age. Sixty-five thousand dollars was spent by visitors of the society in giving di- rect financial aid last year, an increase of $7,000 over the previous year. This sum was spent in addition to the per- sonal service rendered in the way of family adjustments, helping to get jobs, removal to better homes, strengthening of family and church ties and the pro- curing of medical and legal service and other good turns done these families. Loans Sought to Meet Demands. In order o meet these extra demands upon the treasury the Associated Chari- ties found it necessary, before the end of #he fiscal year, to borrow money. At the last meeting of the board of man- agers, held last Wednesday, the finan- cial situation was discussed, and it was pointed out that as it.will be at least three months before any aid can come {from the Community Chest, the joint finance committee, of which Corcoran ‘Thom 1is chairman. should appeal through the mails for continued sup- port to enable the society to carry on its essential service. New contributions may be sent to 1022 Eleventh street, in care of the joint finance committee.
