At the first visit each child received a little re- membrance in the form of a bag of popcorn or an orange, which we were able to give beca of thoughtful friends sending their Christmas mes- e to us in that form. Many a little tot told how mother had explained that Santa Claus was poorer this year than ever before that he had no time to make so many toys for he was working hard sending gifts and food, clothes and hospital supplies to the thousands of our boys ‘over there, that maybe he would remember the children here this year with warm mittens or a | little extra for dinmer. “Although there has been a slight tendency to be a little forgetful of needs near at home because our hearts and minds and time are so full of the present war conditions, New Britain friends of the Charity Organization have been most generous. Many small gifts of money showed us the wide circle of friends we have and gave us the privilege of providing much Christmas cheer. Churches, Bible schools, separate classes, scout troops, individuals, asked to be allowed to give through our organization to some one less fortunate than themselves. Our New Britain Lodge of Elks continued their wonderful Christmas giving to { an even greater extent than usual this year, remembering several dozen fam- ilies with bountiful dinners, purcha ing warm underwear for half a.hun- dred youngsters known to the Chi Organization and sending Ct% boxes of goodies to all the New ain hoys at the Meriden Reform School. New sweaters and mitteas went to another hundred or more school boys and gir all given in the true spirit of Christmas, quietly, with- out show, just as a Santa Claus re- membrance. “Through the kindness of generous hearts and many thoughtful donors this society able to send cheer and happines many a home on Christmas eve morning. ol tion these other was and a mother by special invita- has come to enjoy our beautiful tree and to take home with her a package of those toys Santa Claas found time to leave at our office after several church schools held their Christmas giving parties. “Our girls ,too, away from home in the several corrective schools in state were remembered by a loving Your first package will show you the common sense of choosing Fatima —a balanced Turkish blend that never disturbs or irritates. —t/zep zce] ¢ A Sensible Cigarette into § the | T { message or slight token sent by friends of this organization. “Certainly our two weels of open house have brought great joy to the mothers, to the children, and not the }least to the workers. Much of thi joy we gladly pass along # the don- ors who in their busy days found time to remember our home people. To all whom we could we have sent our gratitude in messages by phone or by many a thank-yoai letter. “During the month of December there were 353 requests for some ser- vice for the Charity Organization to fulfill, seventeen from public officials, twenty-two from private societies, from various churches, twelve from schools, five from out of town, 150 from interested individuals in this city and the rest from applicants themselves who came for advice or | friendly council, relief, work or clothes We have come in contact vith 101 cases this past month, six- een of whom were new. Four of these ed for work only; of the others the for application were iftlessness, immorality, unkenness and vagrancy. Perman- Bt employment was given one and feveral days work apiece for six oth- ers. " Temporary weekly relief was [furished to eight families and emer- gency aid to nine. Twenty-eight re- ceived second-hand clothing, one in- stitutional care, one dental care, and ‘one optical aid; four required services of a physician. “During December the acting agent 1lls and were helped by friendly visitors calling at nine other homes. There were four- teen business calls not dealing direct- ly with families and much helpful resuits were obtained by means of 305 telephone interviews. 260 calls were registered at the office, 120 by those wishing to consult us regarding the work the Charity Organization is doing for its families, and 139 hy those applying for council in family affairs. These fisures do not include our holiday visitors, the children who crowded the rooms so that accurate gounting was impossible. Notwith- Ftanding the fact that several dozen came and went uncounted they num- bered before New Year's day 320. 'Many others were expected the fol- lowing week but, except for a few brave ones they were prevented by the prolonged duration of the extreme cold. “On a loan of $2,75, $2.50 has been repaid and aside from the Christmas giving the expense of which was met by gifts of money, seventeen families were aided; the treasurer’s fund paid bills to the amount of $53.38 and the special relief fund amounted to $91.60. Seven school children were provided with shoes costing $13.17. “Best of all is the knowledge of the aid organized outside and the bil paid directly by generous donors. Al- though a great deal has been given which can never be accounted for, wa have definite knowledge of $226.2 This makes a total of $384.50 having passed through Charity Organization channels during December 1917.
