Campaign for $15,000 to Start Here To-
morrow
NAME WORKERS
Teams Are Appointed to Conduct Canvass For Funds
More than 100 Arkansas Cityans were preparing today to launch their annual campaign against human misery—against the ravages of hunger, cold, disease and disappointment, against the physical and social despair that results in thwarted lives among their neighbors.
Between Tuesday and Friday of this week, these workers hope to raise $15,055—about $1.03 for every person in Arkansas City—to finance the activities of the four organizations participating in the Social Service League through another year.
Need to Be Greater
Their efforts will he spurred by the knowledge that the need for welfare work in the city next year probably will be greater than ever before as the ranks of the destitute continue to grow. They will work with the realization that the league agencies— the Salvation Army, the Red Cross, the Tuberculosis Health Association and the Kansas Society for Crippled Children—are performing a vital service, filling a broad gap that is not and cannot be covered by the federal government or county relief programs.
“These organizations are doing a specialized type of work that is not done by the government,” Dr. Frederick Maier, chairman of the campaign, said Monday. “If it is not done by them it will remain undone, and it is an expensive procedure to neglect the health, well-being and home problems of our community.
Supply Human Touch
“These agencies supply the human touch that is so vitally necessary in the relief of misery and the lessening of despair. They furnish food and clothing in emergency cases which cannot be reached by the government in time to prevent hunger and suffering, but their principal function deals with the health and happiness of the unfortunate and the rehabilitation of their lives.
“Hundreds or children are kept in school and in health by these agencies. Tonsil operations are arranged, glasses fitted, dental work done and under-nourished children fed. Doctors and dentists contribute their services, leaving only direct hospital expenses to be met.
Keep Families Together “Another important service is the advice and counsel given toward the solution of home and social problems, serving to keep families together and preventing children from becoming orphans.
‘‘The government’s relief activities have not decreased the work of the Social Service League. Instead, its tasks have become much heavier as the number of people dependent upon its services increases.”
The campaign will open Tuesday noon at a luncheon in the Y. M. C. A. meeting to perfect the organization and issue instructions to the workers. Other luncheons will be held on Wed-
nesday, Thursday and Friday noons. These are being financed by individual Arkansas Cityans and their cost does not come from the chest fund.
R. H. Rhoads, executive secretary of the campaign, pointed out Monday that the Arkansas City goal represents a much smaller per capita cost than do those of most other cities. Budgets in Wichita and Kansas City amount to approximately $2.90 a person, as compared to the Arkansas City average of $1.03.
Ralph Sowden is president of the Social Service League, and Dr. Maier is chairman of the campaign.
