Woman‘s Club To Be Held On June 5th. ard Party Tonight _ Is Benefit Affair NEEDED; APPEAL MADE Committee Estimates $2,000 to FBe Required in Next Year; Asks for Helpâ€" Your dollar does it! It has been estimated that the cost for the maintenance of the Social Service office for the next 12 months will be $2,000, and a committee apâ€" pointed for the purpose feels that an opportunity should be given to every member of the community to help in its maintenance through the present year. ' A truly fine piece of work has been done through the past 12 months by this office, as a large number of peoâ€" ple will bear witness, and it is felt committee in Highland Park, proviâ€" sion is being made to alleviate as efâ€" fectively as possible, the burden of personal discouragement, not to say desperation, which so frequently deâ€" velops in financial depression. The committee‘s statement follows: ~ Establishing Bulwark » Your committee does not hesitate to say that in contributing towards the support of this office you are esâ€" tablishing a bulwark against the pitiâ€" ful conditions which always arise when there is no systemati¢ and well â€"established office in a community. It has been suggested that contriâ€" butions of â€"$1 from every one who can afford it in Highland Park will not only carry the overhead expenses, but will establish a fuller consciousâ€" ness of coâ€"operate service. If this appeal meets with success, your committee feels that the various organizations, as well as those inâ€" dividuals who can contribute more largely, are thus enabled to put tools into the hands of your own agency. ~ Every child and adult person in $10.00 IN CASH PRIZES TO BE GIVEN READERS OF HIGHâ€" LAND PARK PRESS THIS WEEK A novel newspaper feature, enâ€" titled "Who‘s Who in Highland Park," begins in the columns of the Highland Park Press this week, and will continue each week until this section is covered.
