Mr. Ladd was asked just how many of the plates he had re- ceived and said that he had been sent 2,000.

Lillv, pastor of the Fleming Street Methodist Church providing emergency help, par- ticularly during illness. Illness of a mother, for example, may mean total demoralization of a home, particularly if there are children. Income is more im- portant than at any other time and it is usually necessary that the husband and father continue | tat work. Sometimes the mother is the wage earner and cannot stay at home to be with sick chil- dren. Often it is an aged person who has ro one to look after him or her in periods of emergency.” The housekeeping aides not only substitute for the home- maker in these emergencies but attempt to devise a plan under which the family can carry on after they leave, it was said. Often there is one or more per- sons in the home who can carry on the necessary duties if they |know how. The help of relatives or neighbors can be enlisted in }some cases if the emergency is of unusual duration. The service has been enthus- iastically welcomed by physicians, nurses, social workers, ministers and others who are in touch with families in distress, it was said, session of liquor, explainedj} “Ali “boule the from an airplane, and it fel} my pocket.” Unconvi judgp fined him $257 2)RK4 ¥ (BUY CHRISTMAS SEALS FOR HEALTM:SAKE . . .
