POLK, Chairman County Council of Social Agencies The County-wide drive for funds for the Warren County Charity Chest will start this year on October 22nd and 23rd. Money is badly needed to help those who are poor, who are old, svho are suffering and who can not help themselves. There are children suffering from tonsilitis, but their families are too poor to pay for the operation of having their tonsils removed. Many are staying out of school because they lack clothes and shoes. Many need proper glasses to carry on Li 1 ? ? 1 31.. TT.1.!? AUII Liieir stuuies. nuipuig uiuidren is a fine opportunity for those who want to translate good intentions into good deeds. The old also are in need. Under the present set-up, the federal E. R. A. is now helping only those persons who are capable of doing useful work and is turning the unemployable persons back on the charitable organizations of the counties. Many old and sick peope tiave been turned back on Warren County. They are being given two iollars a month. Contributions to the Charity Chest will mean much to them. We should not forget the sick. It s impossible for the county to pay she hospital bills of all those needng hospital treatment. And there ire many who do not have enough ledclothes to keep themselves ,varm. Contributions in Warrenton should be made to Mrs. J. E. Rook;r Jr., who will torn them over to Mrs. John Kerr Jr., Treasorer of ;he Warren County Welfare Board. Charity is the first virtue of a hristian community. People in his Coonty are soffering because hey are poor. Money will help hem. Let these who can, give it reely. It is the least we can do.
