This is the twelfth annual campaign
of the Community Fund, which is an
organisation of combined philanthropies formed by private citizens to fulfill unmet human needs, Tho agencies
which it supports -vvero founded to provide nursing, medical and hospital care,
to provide ri-creatioii for all ages, to
give helpful advice to families made
desolate by illness and poverty, to provide settlement facilities for children
unci young people, to see that .children
arc given proper care, to train the
handicapped cripples and the blind. It
is a rehabilitation sorvice, rather than
relief.
Last year, the Fund fell $225.00
short of its goal, with the result that
the sorvices of many of tho agencies
were seriously curtailed. "Give Phis"
is the motto of the campaign this year,
to make up for inadequate service last
year.
