The Charity Organization here iresses its appreciation and thanks to donors who responded to the appeal for necessary gifts of money, for bed- Ung and for food. It again thanks tho volunteers who so splendidly came the fue when the entire office force wag ill with “the sickness,” and save immediate relief when it was necessary Organization Gives First For several days before the Auto Imergency was called out, the Charity Organization, knowing that although there was no immediate call for aid, felt that they should respond to the first emergency need, so the little Ford runabout carried Visiting Nurses back and forth to their daily increasing number of calls. splendidly organized work of the Visiting Nurses Association, in con- junection with the Auto Emergency Corps, with thelr helpers, Home De- fense Nurses, nurses trained, domestic and volunteer, was In full swing, there came the need of aid in many families heretofore wself supporting. Many living right up to their incomes found nothing ready to meet the de- mand for medicine, extra nourishment, fuel and so on. Others with a little extra laid by saw it rapidly melt away, often because they paid the physician at each visit, thinking pos- sibly that only one member of the family would be ill. After father, mother and all four babies had been through a slege of it the little bank was empty. In just such an instance multiplied by many, the Canteen Kitchen proved a friend in need. sending prepared nourishing food until one member of the family was well enough to cook the meals, When it. came no longer necessary to continua the Kitchen, the list of those still needing food to be provided for some time, was referred to the Charity Organization. Over and again no fuel had been obtained for the winter and local dealers kindly made it possibie at our request for a supply to be left with the sick families, Many of these families received bed- ding which was sent at once, either new bought with Charity Organization funds which had just come in to an- swer to our appeal, or bedding nearly new was passed on to them, this hav- ing been sent to the Charity Organi- zation for just such a purpose Help Given to Many. Not only are visits being made and food and fuel given, where aid will he till the wage earner is back at work, but there are mothers left widows, children, six and seven, under twelve years of age, in one fam- ily left fatherless, with no provision for the coming years of hardship. f"athers, still bewlldered and stunned by the sudden death of wives look fo advice and aid in providing « for the bables and plans for thelr future Young parents, still weak from illness, boreft of little ones need comfort sympathy and a helping hand steady them through the trying days. Families with the common rounds of everyday life running smoothly have heen shattered by sickness and death. The plan of living must be all bulit anew. Herein do we find our greatest work-—our hardest problems. Careful readjustments, plans of ald for the oming winter, unnecessary except for the result of the epidemic, aid where needful to convalescents, plans for the future.so that just as as possible families may be again self- rellant, children placed with prope guardians—are but a rt of the problems to he solved at once Already the Socilal Workers' Con- ference, comprised of the Weltare Workers of the city interested in tamily life, has met the Charity Organization rooms consider just such important questions A syste matic plan is being worked out where- by the exact number of orphans and half orphans needing immediate care will be ascertained and the care sup- plied as soon as possible At the request of a representative of the United States Employment Service Bureau, our Social Workers' Confer- ence voted to aid in the coming r crulting campaign which to crease the numbers of available men for the factories. This has been indefinitely postponed owing to the signing of the armistice, coming so soon after.
