FOLLOWS MOTHERS' PENSIONING PLAN Poor Directors Through Medium of Associated Charities Help Nfedy Widows While Dauphin Ing neeuy moiuers aiid widows In the county. The worthy cases are first thor oughly investigated by the Associated Charities, and in doing this the keep of the Children's Aid Society, the In dustrial and other children's homes, the Visiting Nurses, etc., is obtained by the Charities in finding out all it can about the case. The co-operative system is worked out to perfection by the Charities in cases like these. After the necessary data has been secured, the Charities reports to the Poor Board and the latter organiza tion sends financial assistance to the mother. Usually the case in question includes the mother and several chil dren. As a rule the mother works steadily but the numerous mouths to feed and the shoes to provide, makes the job a tough one. Unless there is help the children are either sent out to work or are put in some home; and that means the breaking up of the home. That is just what the Poor Board through the medium of the Associated Charities is able to pre vent. "Keeping together the home is the one object we have in view," said John P. Geyer, clerk to the poor board to-day. The ability of the Poor Board to look after these cases Is made pos sible by the recent overlooking of as sistance lists of the days when the late George M. L. Row was clerk and the cutting from the books of un worthy cases.
