For Concerted Charity. What has become of the Associated' (Charities In Camden? The faithful president has l>een left to do the work alone? TLe Civic League's Christinas Com mittee foupd many, many eawn of dire need and / the lack of fuel, and the lack of clothing and the high cost of living, Is being felt more and more dally. Children's little leaked faces and shivering bodies tell the talo and surely something can l?e done by those more fortunately situated. Have you faded or a little worn or out-grown clothing? Send it to the ltest Room to .be distributed among the worthy needy. Can you spare fifty cents to give to this worthy cause? then join the Associated Charities each and ev ery one and the burden will be felt by none. Remember?
