HADASSAH TO HOLD
age of 35 families monthly have received our attention and help. 37 single transient b6ys and men have wandered into our office to date for assldtattce bf food, clothing and shelter. f49 visits during this period were entertained'. in the homes of our clients and 322 visits were re-r ceived in 'our office. Our total ex-^ penditures as on October 31 for the year were $3,468.97—and the worst winter months are before us. : ^ It is an admitted fact that half the world does not know how the othei; half is living and so it is, too, in our own community.
Let us cast upon' an .imaginary screen a feW' brief word pictures of the life of some of the Jews who live about us. those with whom this society has experienced real human relationships.
SCENE l—j,
- the scene is a quiet courtroom ; the def6ndant> a young erring girl. The Crown stated the charge against her. The spectators await sentence of doom. The magistrate whose yrisdom is well-known, leans forward to.speak low and clear: "The Jewish Welfare Society pleads for you knd assures the court of your safe tetum home, where your anxious parents, forgiving, await you. That you are of-the Jewish persuasion, is your very good fortune indeed. The Court trusts you will do it honor, and not stoop again to a law-breaking deed." With tears in her eyes she: l>reathes "Trank You." JLnd turns' to' us as the case is closed.
SCENE II—
They migrated from old Vienna several years ago, the inother, the fether -and their two small ^spns. They were a proiid; and indiistrioiis family, but misfortune had overtaken them. For three years they re-

He was a.frightened and timid fryoung man, whose wife was an ex.--pectant mother, wlio was ill.and in >need of cp,re. They were poor and afraid to seek aid.

knows we will care for her when she is ill. She knows we will not allow her to be in want. She places her trust in us, her best friends.
SCENE V— -
He was a curlyrheaded- .little fellow of three, dark eyes-a^nd handsome you might say, but his parents were sad and poor, and we found him pale.and languid. First, off to the Clinic we took him. The doctor suspected'T.6. Then off to the Preventorium, the right place for a fellow of three. Today he has health and plenty, and races, the lawn like a Turk, rapidly gro-wing to boyhood, \igorously alert.
SCENE VI—
She was a widowed mother, with three snaall chieldren to car. Clothing and fuel were needed and food, for their cupboard was bare. We arranged for a mother's allowance through the Pro-vincial Welfare Board. And little Norman prays each night,, "For our blessings, thank the
