Previously acknowledges At one time the J. family was well off. Mr. J. had almost paid for a small modern dwelling in the residential sec- tion of the city. He owned a small clothing store and did fairly well until the depression came on. His main con- cern was caring for his wife, who was suffering from heart trouble, and his four youngsters. ranging from 2 to 9 vears of age. In 1929, however, busi- | ness became slow. Mr. J. was no longer able to keep up the mortgage on his property and the mortgage on it was eventually foreclosed. In order to meet the bills of his business Mr. J. borrowed from every source, and when his cred- itors pressed him he became frantic. He knew only one thing—that his wife and children must not suffer. He began passing checks. Things went along smoothly until the bank brought the matter into court. Mr. J. is now serving a sentence. His wife children still must be cared . J. has heart trouble and it is impossible for her to work, even if a job could b> found. She hesitates to accept assistance, but she is helpless and knows she must depend on some | one to see her through this crucial period. Mrs. J. is a good manager and can care for her family's needs on $90 | a month. The sum of $1,080 would give the family food, clothing, shelter and medical care for a year. Opportunity No. 4.

A proud moment came when a Phi Beta Kappa key was award- ed him for high scholastic standing. | Then promotion followed promotion in the work he had chosen until Mr. Bruce became owner and publisher of a news- paper. Those were happy days for him, his pretty wife and little bright- eved boy. They gave generously to charity, little dreaming they would ever have to ask assistance. The day came, however, when Mr. Bruce coliapsed financially and physi- cally. He lost his business and with it went hus health. He had o spend weeks in the hospital. Now he must rest for months or he will never be able to work again. Friends and employers have been caring for the family. They | have done it gladly for they knew them to be deserving and grateful.

The children in this family are the sort that make you think and think hard There are five of them, the old- est a gi1l of 9 years with big eyes and a sad expression which doubtiess comes from hunger and from constant asso- ciation with misery and iliness and poverty. The father is a sick man. He has tuberculosis. He was young when war was declared and he proudly marched with 4,000,000, strong and well. He re- turned to his home. took up his pre- war work. then married. His work be- came difficult for him and the respon- sibility of his family with his inadequate income broke him mentally and phys- ically. | Through the close contact of the nurse and a welfare agency, the case | was turned over to the agency for care. | The case worker had the wife and chil- dren examined for signs of this dreaded | disease. It was learned that one of the children was badly affected. Provision | for sending the father and child to a hospital was made. A promise to care for the family was extended by the worker and the father went away re- lieved mentally. ] | The mother is tired and worried and | her burden is doubled because she is obliged to carry on alone. Her sole con- fidant is the case worker on whom she depends entirely for advice and counsel. She goes to the clinic with her family and guards them carefully. But many | times the car tokens run low and the cod liver oil seems expensive and the price of eggs and milk mounts higher and the sunshine even has a tax on it when there is no warm clothing to wear in order to get out of doors. The sum of $600 a year will take care of this family.

He provided well for his wife and six children until the depression came and he joined the army of the unemployed. He had excellent refer- ences from former patrons, but they no longer had work to offer him. He trudged the streets day by day in vain search for employment. Worry for his wife and children finally broke down his health. A spirit of independence still kept him from asking help until he was faced with an eviction notice. Then he asked for help. The damage, however, was already done. A physical examination of the mother and children showed that Mrs. Thomas must go to the Tuberculosis Hospital and four of the six children were found | te have tuberculosis of the juvenile type. | The task before the social worker is | now to restore the courage and hope of the man and to assure Mrs. Thomas that while she is in the hospital the | children will be provided for.
