December 27, at 2:30 o'clock, Chicago's greatest campaign for home welfare needs is being and the United Charities, thousands of volunteer workers are endeavoring to raise the funds required to carry on its work during the thirteen months beginning December 1, 1921, and ending December 31, 1922. The total amount which must be raised is one million dollars. This is a huge amount of money. The men and women charged with the responsibility of directing the affairs of the United Charities would not ask the citizens of Chicago for this financial support at this time unless it was of vital importance to every person who resides in or gains his livelihood in Chicago, that it be subscribed at conducted this month, once. Winter is here. It is the beginning of a period, which, due to the unem- ployment of thousands of breadwin- ners for many months, will set, in all probability, the high water mark for relief applications among charitable agencies. The United Charities, Chicago's one great city-wide, non-sectarian family welfare agency, will be called upon to bear the brunt of this peak load. It has borne the brunt of the con- stantly increasing load during the past year. Because of that fact and because its financial support has not kept up with the increase in the load, the United Charities now finds itself --at the very period when its assist- ance is most needed and facing the most serious situation it has had to contend with in years--without funds and with its credit exhausted. To meet adequately the extra de- mands for assistance that are bound to come during the next thirteen months, the Board of Directors have carefully estimated that $400,000 more than the budget for the normal needs of the United Charities will be nec- essary. It was therefore decided to conduct Emergency Fund of $400,000 which is needed at once, and for the normal budget of the United Charities, for the next thirteen months, that is for December 1921, and for the year 1922, which amounts to $600,000. Already thousands of old contribut- ors have pledged the major part of the norrmal budget of the United Charities for the next year and now, if the Emergency caused by the un- employment situation is to be ade- quately met, thousands of new sup- porters must come forward and open their hearts and purses and give. assisted by The Evanston and North Shore group of Goucher college alumnae have completed arrangements for the presentation of "Alice in Wonder- land" at the Hoyburn theater during the afternoon and evening of Decem- ber 28, for the benefit of the "Greater Goucher" endowment fund. A num- ber of women have planned matinee parties for the children, and it is ex- pected that the entertainment will take a prominent place in the social calendar of the "younger set." The evening program has been ar- raanged for the benefit of grown-ups, who -are still lovers of the greatest of children's wonder tales. are they bugs? I'll say they are.
