1 00,000

Thousands of Men, Women and Children Of Soutli Bend and St. Joseph County were served during the past year by charitable, philanthropic and civic agencies supported by the Federation for Social Service. They were the community's helpless, sick and friendless; orphans and deserted children; distressed families thrown overnight into dependency by unexpected misfortune; little quivering bundles of humanity whose undernourished bodies have demanded experts' care; the crippled, the blind; unfortunate girls to whom life has become a nightmare; new neighbors from across the seas, unaccustomed to American ways; and boys and girls hungry for healthful recreation and educational opportunities. To continue this necessary community work so beneficial not only to individuals but to the city and county as a whole, $100,000 is needed. This money will be raised in one general campaign beginning November 23 and ending December 1. Now that the war is over new problems confront us everywhere. This condition makes it more essential than ever that the community as a whole give full backing to the worthy organizations already mentioned, in their larger work to be performed. There are eleven agencies affiliated with the Federation for Social Service in its Good Will drive for funds and friends. These agencies in their necessary and useful work for humanity received in 1920, $60,116.98 from public contribution. Increased costs with which we are familiar, a larger population, and new and larger problems arising from world conditions have required a noticeable increase in the budget appropriation for 1921. The local agencies benefited by the Good Will drive are all indispensable to the welfare of Soutli Bend. Tliey formerly raised their money separately by tag days, bazaars, ticket sales and special appeals of many different kinds. The Charity Campaign combines all requests in one. By so doing, it saves time, worry, energy and expense. REDUCES THE COST HOW MUCH SHALL I GIVE

Of course, that's really up to you, but except in the cases of a few extra generous givers, the campaign organization asks that wherever possible, last year's gift be increased. It is suggested that corporations give a percentage of their net earnings. In this connection, the following ruling from the internal revenue department at Washington, is interesting. This ruling states that contributions made to the Charity Fund by individuals 'are deductible from gross incomes of such individuals in accord a n c e with the provisions of section 214 (a) (II) of the act. Subscribers may, if they choose, specify the organizations they wish to support, using the back of their pledge cards for this purpose.

' The Good Will Drive substantially lowers the percentage of expense in proportion to the amount collected. It prevents duplication. It gives the workers in the various organizations more time for real active service. Due to a confidential exchange which keeps each agency informed of what the others are doing, help is given only where needed. The Federation for Social Service promotes more business like administration in the agencies themselves. Each organization must submit a budget, which is carefully reviewed by the Board of Directors of the Federation before disbursements are made. Statements of actual expense and needs must be submitted monthly before any money is advanced. No building funds are included in this year's Good Will Drive.
