One of the families given as
sistance by Associated Charities
during August was that of a wid
ow with four children, ages, twen
IPty-six, twenty three .thirteen and
ten.
The mother came to the onice
of Associated Charities and re
quested help with food until her
daughter, then ill, could return to
work. The daughter, who has
been employed for the past eight
years at one of the local mills,
has been sick since the middle of
June and was a patient at the hos
%pital for a while. Her doctor would
not allow her to go back to work
before September and told the case
worker that she was in a very run
down condition. An unmarried son,
from whom the mother received
an allotment while he was in Ser
vice was discharged last January
and came home. He secured work
locally but was not satisfied, and
decided to re-enlist in the Army.
He was sent to Fort Bragg on
0 June 18th and carried with him
the necessary papers, all filled out,
for his mother’s allotment. He
was shipped out several days later
and the mother has never heard a
word from him since, nor has
she received the allotment. An
August 20th she could not man
age without assistance any longer
and came to the Associated Chari
ties.

The case worker contacted the
Red Cross office and requested
their assistance in locating the
boy. The woman wrote to the War
Department and sent the boy's
serial number but has never heard
anything further.
The daughter went back to work
on September 9th but will not re
ceive a pay check until she has
worked 2 Weeks. Associated Chari
ties is helping with a weekly food
order until the daughter draws
her first pay check. The Red Cross
is making every effort to locate
the boy since the mother is not
able to work and needs his help.
