The annual meeting of The Associated Charities was held at the Children's Home on January 5th, 1932. At this meeting the following afficers were elected: Mrs. Margaret C. Mayfield, president; R. M. Kennedy, Jr., vice-president; T. E. Goodale, secretary; Warren H. Harris, treasurer; John K. do Loach, assistant treasurer. The Children's Home has now been j in operation for almost two years and, we believe, has been of great benefit to this community. On Januhry 1st, 1931, we had in the Home eighteen children and dur- ' ing the year 1931 we admitted to the Home thirteen children. During the past ypur we have placed either i m _ in private homes, other institutions, or disposed of otherwise nine children, leaving in the Home on January 1st, lilHU, twenty-two children. The children that we have taken into this Home have improved in health, spirit and general welfare. This Home is not an orphanage but is merely a placTng home and we use our best efforts to find good1 responsible people to adopt these children. Our gardens were very fruitful this last year and not only kept the Home in greens and veg- vable? but a great quantity "was used in our general charity work. During the middle of the year it was made possible for us to secure a paid field worker which we now have in Mrs. Gettys who uses the Association truck in going out from day to day soliciting food stuff throughout the county and in this Mrs. Gettys has been very successful. The help that the people of -the county give us outside of Camden has increased and it has been of a great help to us. During last .summer we put up over thirteen thousand cans of peaches, vegetables and fruit. This has been sold in some oases; other eases i it has been exchanged throughout the 'county for corn, sweet potatoes, peas J and other food stuff and a great deal has been used in the Home and in the genoral charity work. This year we adopted the system of putting a'n office in the rear of | the county Court House and having people come there on Saturdays at [ which time we dispensed food and some little clothing. Elsewhere we give you a statement showing exactly, the amount of funds taken in during the year and the amount disbursed and should anybody wish to know the details of this income and disbursement, the books are at the office of The Associated Charities where they will be gladly shown to anybody interested. For this coming year we will require approximately the same sum to continue the work as last year, which was $-1,500. Our drive will start Tuesday, March 1st, and will continue through the balance of the week and at which time we hope to raise the above amount. We thank you all for your very kind support.

O. YARBOROUGH, Prop. Secret Donor Gives Clothes To Children Georgetown, Jan. 23.?A gchool bus containing twenty children, evidently from rural sections, rolls up to a store building in Georgetown, where gaily colored sweaters, sturdy shoes and similar articles can be seen through the windows. The children stare about thera, a look of expect' ancy on their faces. They are greeted by two young woman who invited them to "come right in" and soon a procession of boys and girls ranging from six to thirteen or fourteen years, pass through the doors of the store. Without loss of time the children are lined tip in one end of the room and one of the young women with a pencil and pad In her hands, goes from child to child asking questions, examining their clothing and taking down names arid figures. Then each little girl and boy is handed a slip and instructed to report to another young woman who stands by the counter. As each child hands in his piece of paper he is given a pair of Shoes, a sweater and a pair of underclothes, or perhaps a pair of stockirigs. In some instances only one or two articles are handed >out, but yery often the child receives the entire outfit, an,d the girls may be given a dresk, and the boys a pair of trousors. As soon as the children are supplied they are told to move toward the door, and leave their slip with another young woman, who takes the coupon and files it dAvay. No money changes hands, and the children troop out, hugging their parcels, and grinning with delight. They board the truck, wave goodbye to the young women, and the bus heads for home, i In this manner ure the supplies, furnished by Georgetown county's "unknown donor" distributed. At the time of writing G48 men, women and children?the greatest majority by far being children?have received, articles of clothing, things that they could not hope to possess if the unknown philanthropist had not come to the rescue. In common with the Vest of the country Georgetown county is experiencing hard, times. Many children in Andrews, Georgetown and the rural sections have been unable to attend school because of the lack of proper clothing, and a number of adults were actually suffering from cold. A list, just made available, shows that the following articles have been purchased under the donor's direction: 912 pairs of men's women's and children's shoes, 272 pairs of men's and boy's trousers, 3#6 pairs of i men's and boy's underwear, 586 sweaters, 971 pairs of women's and children's underclothes, 1,332 pairs pf stockings, 86 dresses and twelve pairs of blankets. Mrs. Harold Kaminski has been put in charge of the work, and with a number of assistants has performed the various duties necessary in making an equitable and efficient i distribution of the articles furnished.l All of the workers are serving gladly j without any compensation, and many j of them have devoted the greater! part of their time to the cause. Di- i rectly assisting Mrs. Kaminski is j Miss Margaret Ford, county health nurse, who with Mrs. Kanimski and, M:ss Julia Gantt, parish nurse, have made a survey of the county, checking the list submitted, selecting the m?st deserving eases, and having announcements made from the schools. M'.ss Ford has herself delivered numerous articles, making special trips into remote regions for this purpose. T. \V. Higgins, a Georgetown merchant. has acted as purchasing agent, and the following women have assisted Mrs. Kaminski in hor work at the distributing centre in Georgetown: Mrs. Herman Schenk, Miss Charlotte Hyatt, Miss Sarah Mctjuadc, Mrs. K.
