Good Fellows Club Is Devoted To Aiding Needy

(Editor's tote; This Is the Dally Democrat’s second article onthe work of the Good Fellows club, an institution which has dedicates! itself to assisting those in need in the city. It is a vast organization and the women in it devote eonsiderable time and. work to their favorite project.) „ The Good Fellows club dedicated to giving assistance can exist only through the assistance ofothers. That is a strange fact true of such institutions which devote their time and energy to assisting those in need, | ' - /. ‘ The members themselves probably could compile a sizable’Jist - each year of names of families in stralted conditions at this time of year. For the Food Fellows Hub is the project of the Delta Theta Tau sorority which has been Operating in the city for 34 years, and they know their way around. I; Still, It is through the cooperation of other organisations and institutions that the Good Fellows function. They from schools, township trustees, |the Adams, county welfare departmiht, and through annonymous letters describing families who would (appreciate a little extra this year|i' In each case, the Good Fellows investigate the family and if titey feel that there is a definite leglI mate need, then provide every possible assistance. They concentrate primarily on giving clothing and shoes to recipients on the absolute needs of she family. Yet they are pretty liberal on their interpretations of the rule®. These unwritten rules have been compiled by the Good Fellows dub

over the years to facilitate handling and processing. Some of the original ideas have been discarded recently, but for the most part, the organisation still ferrets out families who are a bit up against it. "There are some on the list, however,” a member of the club said, "whom we assist each year regardless. These are older people who are given a Christmas basket. For many it is their Christmas dinner. Other than that, though, we investigate everyone.” • • Experience has taught the members a valuable lesson: they can generally gauge the amount needed each year almost to. the penny; they never solicit to provide frills. That’s why this year the club has set its goal at SI,OOO. They are still about S4OO short, but are hopeful thia will be obtained before Christmas. \ "It seems we always get a-rash of calls the week before Christr mas,” one officer of the organization said, "and have to prepare for that.” The club admits it has made a couple of errors in the past, but errors that are constantly being checked and corrected before the next season. “There are times when we don’t feel that some parents deserve our help,” is a popular club statement, "but we do try to get to the children.” There are other occasions when some persons have obtained aid without actually coming under the club's rules and regulations ; v a ruse has worked, so to speak. happens but once. While it sometimes leaves the’members a bit non-pleas-ed for the, moment, they never al■low the situation to be repeated. Scientists have figured out how a person can lose a pound without dieting. The answer — centrifugal force vs. gravity. A person weighing 189 pounds at the pole would only weigh 138 pounds at the equator.

Santa Claus To Be In Monroe Tuesday Santa Claus, perhaps the busiest man of all during this season, hag been scheduled to maae another of his innumerable appearances, this time in the town of Monroe.
