Report for Year, The report for the year ending Sep- tember 30; was presented by Execu- tive Secretary Cora M. Beale as fol- lows: To the Directors of the Welfare Association of New Britain: Like “Pollyanna’ the Welfare asso- clation, at the end of another year, is “glad"” for many things. Glad of the brighter outlook for 1923, glad that the memories of the past are fading; that heads of familles are re- employed; that more and more mothers can withdraw their pleas for ald; that fewer new applications for help are appearing; that seventy-five of our children are starting the fall and winter months with an additional energy gained when plenty of good fool, sunshine, pure alir, right living and happiness proved so wondrously beneficial. We are glad that a denttal clinic is really a sound factor, that the boys and girls thus have another chance for better, sounder health when mouths are cleaned, diseased and de- cayed teeth removed, cavities filled and the tooth brush habit established. Glad too are we of the splendid work-together spirit of the various other welfare organizations in the clty. This fine teamwork leads to less friction, no overlapping, better results, helping not only the bene- ficlary but each organization, doing away in the latter instance with un- necessary expenditure of energy, time and money. We are glad of the confidence placed in the Welfare Association by city officials; glad of the opportunity to serve them and the individuals in- terested in the welfare of our citizens less fortunate than themselves. We are sincerely glad to serve the public during the holiday seasons in helping them distribute their gifts which they generously offer but are sometimes too busy to engineer or are unin- formed as to the wisest placement. Not only do we act at the holiday season, but we gladly offer our serv- ices all the year by means of the Social Service Exchange.

The soclal service movement in the life of a community presents a var- fety of agencies having no\apparent connection, A gulf exists between the groups, What can bridge it? The answer is '‘the soclal service ex- change.” A symbol for the exchange was suggested at the National Con- ference, that symbol being a bridge. A nntlonngluthorlty on Bocfal Service Exchange ‘says, “Wherever the serv- fce of the mocial service exchange makes {tself felt, there is an effort to co-ogdinate agencies through thelr case work, The bridge, then, is a unique method of solving the prob- lem of unity in the soclal case work of the community, so that the service of each agency becomes more active and productive,"” “Such a service carrles with it no fear of rigidity, for it calls for no ready-made relationships between agencies. Their action will take into account whatever factors may be up* permost as the needs arise in the in- dividual case. From this it is plain that the bridge has furnished case work with a broader and sourtler foundation, and has given it the pow- er to save itself from some of the dis- tractions it might otherwise suffer from. The bridge is in fact the rally- ing point for case work—perhaps "the fulerum that Archimedes desired.’ s Exchange a Good Thing. “By its unlimited elasticity, the ex- change has unfolded. new forces and possibilities. Witness the use of the service by the medical group, the court, the foster home registration, the use of the service made by the Red Cross during the'war and since.” We are glad that New Britain has one to offer the local agencles who are slowly realizing the necessity and possibilities of the ‘“bridge.”” The goal the bridge is clear. Agencies will De freed from i{solation, all can extend their power and can all work together. ¢ We are especlally glad and thank- ful for the many friends who firre- spective of the United Community chest, offer their Interest and finan- clal ald for special purposés. Thus we have been able to meet the emergencies —iliness, hospital bllls, medicines, speclal operations, den- tistry, rent, board, transportation, and various other needs. Clothing has been an important feature of o#r work this year. Hardly a day goes by unless we give some article to someone. Lack of funds prevented the family from buying necessary garments but due to many donations of partly worn clothing and shoes, we have saved our assoclation many dol- lars. Some new apparel had to be purchased through the year despite the fact that a generous retail firm presented us with nearly $100.00 worth of winter underwear at Christ- mas time and another nearly the same value in sweaters. Treasurer's Report The treasurer's report shows we had to give material aid to many and our special funds have brough relief from distressing circumstances. The amount of aid organized outside the assoclation fund has been a great asset. From generous concerns, physicians, dentists, dealers and many other in- dividuals, articles, service, treatments, board, etc., were obtained for no cost to the assoclation or at a spectal re- duction. This at a very conservative estimate has saved our funds from a depletion of over $1,900. There are two ways of serving peo: ple—sharing their troubles and add- ing to their joys. We are always glad when we can have the pleasure of the latter way-—we seem to 8o much more often act as trouble-sharers. Neither method can be employed in a whole- sale way. Personal contact with the home and in the home, friendship of the whole family is what counts Some who need just sych sympathetic guidance are unknown®to the associa- tlon or do not know where to apply. If you hear of a family or person in need, notify us. It may be we already have information regarding them which will help you ip choosing how best to help them. If we haven't, we can direct you to the organization which already knows them. 1If they are strangers in need, we will serve them in the best possible way. If you are informed that the Welfare asso- clation will not help a certain family, ask us why and we will gladly tell you. Yes, we do Investigate. Not to decide whether a family or person is worthy or unworthy. Everybody f{s worthy of something from the asso- clation but it may not be wise to al- ways glve material relief. We must decide the wisest way to help, to seek the causes of suffering, to be con- structive and not impulsive in our plans. Dr. Frank Nelson of Cincin- nat! says that one of the most signi- ficant developments in modern social service is the realization that we must look upon men as men, as children of God; as individuals, and to look through the things that cloud the es- sentlal man from them so the real man may be seen with a spirit of reverence. He spoke of the love of man as one of the three great under- lylng faiths that a successful social worker must have, the other two being the faith in God and the conscious- ness of being agents and messengers of God. ‘Wants Closer Acquaintances The Welfare assoclation would wel come a closer acquaintance with its work of our directors and friends; by those who give and those who criti- cize. Our work goes steadily on, never spectacular, but we strive each year to do better, broader work than before. We need your personal in- terest as well as your financial back- Ing, as we endeavor to devise ways whereby the spending of dollars may be lessened and by which each dollar spent may spread its value as far as possible in increasing the happiness and furthering the welfare of man- kind.
