FUNDS NEEDED BY
ASSOCIATED AIDS
J]v4,ooo Must Be Raised Until
August to Carry on Work
Properly
Secretary John Yates, of the Asso
ciated Aid Society, made nn appeal
this morning for funds to aid in the
work of caring for the widows, de
serted wives, neglected and crippled
children, tuberculosis victims and oth
ers dependent on the society for sup
port. Mr. Yates stated this morning
that he must raise $4,000 before he
leaves the city in August. This
amount will care for the dependents
of the society until that time and give
the new secretary a month's funds
to work upon.
The appeal for funds is made es
pecially for crippled children. Many
of these are victims of infantile para
lysis and would be hopeless cripples,
but for the aid of the society. They
are sent to Philadelphia at inter
vals for treatment, which is rendered
practically free by the hospitals and
doctors there.
Funds are also needed to care for
neglected children, who the society
supports by placing them in homes
and paying their board. Dr. Yates
stated this morning that owing to the
high cost of living the society has to
pay from $2.50 to $5 per week for
l l ? e „ care of such children, and that
♦ 1.000 was needed for this work alone.
There are twelve pensioned families on
the list of the society at the present
time, and to keep these families ade
quately mote funds are needefl. The
majority of the families are left with
out support because of the husband
and father being a victim of tubercu
losis.
