THE BEE: OMAHA. FRIDAY. DECEMBER 7, 1917.
. HERE IS CHANCE
.TO SPREAD REAL
CHRISTMAS CHEER ;
TheBee Presents Three, More!
Cases of Deservmg Poor
y. Investigated by Asso
ciated Charities.
Christmas giving docs not always
consist of reniemlirances of toys- and
jewelry. In many cases more actual
joy is caused by presenting warm
clothes, a ton of coal or some needed
, article of furniture.
Mrs. G. V. Doane of the Associated
Charities knows from years of expe
rience in this jjork that much Christ
mas cheer has been made possible by
taking the right articles to the right
place during the Yuletide season. She
has a list of many worthy families
and persons in need. V
She may cite, for instance, a mother
who ha children in need of warm
clothes. The father may be earning
4 small wage, bu it is impossible to
keep the children warmly and prop
erly cjad during the winter time.
There are families iu Omaha, whose
children have outgrown garments
which are serviceable and there are
men and women wfose homes have
not been blessed with little ones and
who would like to take Christmas
cher to children who are in need.
More Needy Cases Listed.
.The Bee is co-operating again this
year with the Associated Charities to
provide substantial cheer to as many
homes as- possible. Mrs. JDoane has
prepared brief statements of the cir
cumstances of the families she has in
vestigated, outlining these needs. Four
cases were referred to on Wednesday
and three moi;e are "mentioned today.
Money or goods sent to Mrs. G. V.
Doane. general secretary of the Asso
rted Charities, 549 Farnam building,
'the old' First National bankbuilding,
thirteenth and Farnam, or to The
3ee, will be carefully disbursed among
Ihese needy families.
Family Needs Help.
(5) This is another deserted wife and
another. A 16-year-old daughter
earns enough , to care for herself;
tlwte are two boyfi 14 and 12, and a
little girl of 9. Mother has been most
faithfully working in 'a restaurant, but
fias seldom been paid more than $7 a
v.:ek $8 at the very most. If you
can , see a good living in less than $35
a month for a mother and three husky
youngsterswe know it isn't there,
and a little help, is most acceptable
fuel, shoes and Clothing for the chil
dren. (6) This is a most interesting family
father 72, veryxnearly laid by-is not
able to do heavy work. The mother
is a peacji. for devotion to'her family
M she is much younger than he, but
ias cataracts on both eyesV-almost
blind, iu fact. Keeps a spick-and-span
house, washes to help out just
rough clothing for working men, and
is pathetically grateful for anything
and everything done for them. She
has two bright little girls, 11 and 4,
and a boy 7, who is just recovering
from a nearly-fatal attack of pneu
monia. The rent is not heavy, and
mother contrives to pay that 50 cents"
or 25 cents, whatever she has to ap
ply, and the '"landlord never says a
word." Groceries, flour, coal and
clothing would make-a "lovely Christ
mas" here.
Four Small Children.
v (7) This is another widow with four
children boys 8 and 6, little girl of 4
and a baby 1 year old. The children
haye all been quite ill, and mother
had her hands full for a few weeks.
The motheifs pension couldn't do it
all then and it can't do it all now.
t.We think fuel would be a most ac
) Vceptable item in this budget, and those
little children would enjoy something
extra to eai and we know mother
would be delighted to know thai; shoes
and clothing are forthcoming for them
all.
