Evening Republican, Volume 20, Number 155, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 June 1916 — New Call For Charity. [ARTICLE]

New Call For Charity.

The local charity board has already been called on to help some of the families of our local military company. In one case there is a young wife and three babies. Another family that is left unprovided for is a wife and six children, the oldest being but twelve years old, living in the Gifford country. There may be others of whom we have not been informed, but we feel sure that none of our citizens are willing that any of those who have been compelled to part with dear ones should suffer physical discomfort as well, and that a mere mentioning of the fact that such a need exists will be all that is necessary to meet the need. The charity board has only a small sum on hands at any time and this is always needed to meet emergencies. No doubt the needs of these persons will be met by the federal government, but until this is done some one should see to it that they are not left in want. Money for this purpose may be left with the charity board if so desired.
