" B—6 - CHARITIES TO MARK 51T ANNERSARY Associated Bodies Will Hold| Celebration at Y. W. C. A. Tuesday Evening. e fifty-first anniversary of the iated Charities will be celebrated | Tuesday night at a public meeting at the Young Women's Christian Associa- tion, Seventeenth and K streets, where there will be a_symposium on the gen- eral subject, “A Brief for Our Clients or the Present Crisis and the Way Out.” | In order to get the widest range of | opinion on this subject representatives of the other larger family welfare agen- | cies, which are members of the Com- | munity Chest, as well as cfficials of the Associated Charities, will discuss the situation as it affects their clients, be- cause of the limited funds at command of the Community €hest. The Catholic Charities, United Hebrew Relief Society, the Salvation Arm; the American Legion and the Travelers’ Aid Society, | which through its transient bureau gives temporary care to non-resident families, have all teen invited to tell | how their restricted funds will affect their clients and are affecting | them now. Johnson to Speak. Because of the large proportion of | the colored population which is affected by the unemployment situation and which is, consequently, forced to call upon the charitable organizations for ald, Presidcnt Mordecai W. Johnsen of | Howard University has been asked to | speak upon the effect of the present unemployment__ situation _upon the status of the Washington Negro. Particular importance is placed upon | “the way out” section of the symposium | because from that discussion by the va- rious speakers it is hoped that there may be evolved some practical solution of the problem of family destitution ‘which is affecting so seriously, not only the adults, but the children of Wash- ington. In this connection it is stated that the Associated Charities alone had in the familles under its care at some time in 1932 at least 1 in 12 children of the child population of the city. Explains Purpose of Meeting. | “It is our purpose in this meeting,” Walter S. Ufford, general secretary of the Associated Charities, said yesterday, “to bring before the public the real situation faced by the clients of the charitable agencics. We expect 10 show, through the testimony ef repre- sentatives of all the large Chest agen- cies, the exact situation faced by these unfortunate people, and to show how inadequate at the best is the so-called living provided by charitable funds. We are hopeful also that these speakers, acquainted as they are with the vi real needs confronting destitute families in Washington, may be able through their combined efforts to offer some | remedy for this situation.” | Officers of the board and members | to fill vacancies created by the expira-, tion of terms of board members will be , elected at Tuesday night's meeting.
