EPWORTH HOME DENIES MAGAZINE SOLICITATIONS Persons purporting to represent Epworth Children’s Home as be neficiary of their house-to-house solicitations for magazine sub scriptions definitely do not have the authorization of the Methodist institution, the Reverend Allan Broome, superintendent, announc ed today. Epworth does not conduct any such solicitations, Mr. Broome pointed out. The only direct ap peals for funds with which to op erate the 60-year-old children’s home are made through the Methodist Church. “These persons who call at homes say they are selling maga zines to help the children’s home, or other eleemosynary causes,” Mr. Broome observed, “but if the the prospective buyer will take the precaution to check with the cause, he will learn, in most cases, that it is being misrepresented.” Some of the other charitable causes may possibly use the mag azine subscription solicitation method of raising funds, Mr. Broome said, but Epworth Chil dren’s Home is not one of these. “If someone calls at your home and uses the Epworth name,” he explained, “a simple call to your local Methodist minister will clar ify the situation instantly. If the Methodist Church is using any such appeal, he will know about it. In any case, the use of the name Epworth Children’s Home would be misrepresentation.” JASPER CHAPTER TO MEET FRIDAY Jasper Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, will meet Friday afternoon, March 1st at 4:00 o’clock at the home of Mrs. Carl Setzler with Mrs. Claudia Suber and Mrs. G. L. Summer Jr. as associate host esses. Included on the program wiirbe “The President General’s Mes sage” by Mrs. Summer and “Am erican Constitutional Develop ment” by Mrs. R. B. Baker.
