MANY OFFER TO AID POOR FAMILIES ON XMAS OF THIS YEAR

. Sunday school classes, lodges and many other organizations in Richmond are combining to see the poor will ; not want for . an appropriate Christmas this year, according to Miss Ethel Clark, head o the Wayne County Social Service bureau, which Is given the task of investigating numerous cases of destitution in the city. According to Miss Clark, who has

actual destitution in this city isnor

as apparent at the present time as it has been in times past.Although there is considerable unemployment at the present time, many of the workmen have saved enough money ahead so that the pinch of poverty has not been, actually felt. May Develop Later Officials of the bureau expressed the belief that if there is any actual Increase in the amount of destitution from this cause, it will be seen later in the winter, when savings already accumulated have been used up. A significant factor in this respect is 1hat the savings accounts kept by the bureau for a number of families have

not yet been drawn upon. Many organizations' have signified their willingness to care for a family on Christmas day and see that its members get a good Christmas dinner and other comforts to make the day welcome. Not only at the social service bureau, but at the office of the township trustees as well, individuals and societies have called, asking for the names of deserving poor. Will Help Poor Although it is somewhat early for requests of this kind, officials have already complied with several, and indications are that the poor of the city will be amply provided for through this means. The Social Service Bureau is investigating cases of needy families, each day, and names of these people are referred to when requests of this nature corne in. The early requests of persons willing to help Indicates that no child will be overlooked by Santa Claus on Christmas day.

Better Schools For Richmond It Is poor economy to increase teachers' salaries and thereby secure better and more teachers if the teachers are compelled to teach in conditions where they are only partially efficient. A $100 teacher, who is so cramped for room and who has such large classes or such inadequate equipment that she can use only 50 per cent of her efficiency, is not much better than a $50 teacher. And it is a teacher who has written this.
