Following is a statehvent f rom a 'let- ter of Edward Ryerson, Jr., president of the joint Emerge'icy Relief Fund of Cook county: "The executive committee of the Joint Eniergency Relief Fund feels that so far as possible ail1 regulaàr con- tributors to established and emdorsedý agencies sbould cçontinue to make their regular ýcontri.butions directly to these agencies. :In the case of these regular contributors, they shôuld ré- gard their contributions to :joint Emergency 'Relief Fund as overload or'extra. "Continued support for ail accred- ited welfare organizatîons is urged. 0f course, the joint emergency relief fund mýuet be flnanced. But it must be. done witbout, borrowing from babies. and childr-en, Young men andý wornen, the sick and the aged.
