To Be Made Available for Alle
viation of Suffering Through
out Year Says; Mrs. Sherlock
Mrs. C. J. Sherlock, representing
the Associated Charities, wishes to
call attention to an error in the
article carried in Wednesday’s
Times-Recorder relative to the ex
penditure of the Empty Stocking
fund money on Christmas baskets.
“As a matter of fact,” Mrs. Sher
lock said to a reporter today, “a
portion of the money was spent for
the 55 baskets distributed Christ
mas Eve, while the major portion
was held in the bank for winter ex
penditures of wood for poor fami
lies and provisions for those unable
to purchase these necessary articles.
Calls are made during the year for
help and shoudl al the Empty Stock
ing fund money be expended at
(Christmas time, there would be real
suffering during the remainder of
( the year.
“The Em;ty Stocking fund as
sists greatly in the work of ameli
orating needs of the poor of the
city, and without it the Associated
Charities could not carry on the
work. Every cent contributed by
the generous public is used in the
channels of charity, and every cent
is deeply appreciated by those who
dispense it and those who receive
it.”
