Favor Organized Charity Bat Make
No Snggition As to Who Shall
Administer Funds
MR. AND MRS. LOME MEEKS
INJURED IN WRECK
Favoring organized charity in
Baldwin county and declaring that
a fund is needed for social work, •
the ministers of the city failed to en
dorse the proposed Baldwin County
Welfare Association which has been
proposed to the county commission-
The ministers issued no joint
staVnicrit following their meeting
last week, but stated individually
that they believed organized charity
necessary. They explained that each
church had a charity fund that was
being distributed among the needy
and that each church continued to
carry on their work among the poor
of the county.
One of Ihe ministers explained
that the funds which had 6ecn raised
by the Red Cross has been sufficient
to carry on the work and that every
need had been met through this or
ganization and at the same time
there war a national organization
from which aid could be realized in
an emergency.
Mr. and Mrs. Scovill, formerly of
the Salvation Army, who have had
the county charity work in charges for
over a year appeared before the
county commissioner* for recogni
tion as the official workers in tbo
county. They w’ere asked for the en
dorsement of the ministers
It is understood that the commis
sioners will consider the plea of the
Scovills at an early meeting. In a
recently issued report, the Scovills
showed the amount of work that had
been done and how certain funds
had been distributed. Their report
received the endorsement of many
citizens who declare that the ser
vices of a regular paid social and
j welfare worker is necessary. Several
civic and fraternal organizations
have given their indorsement to the
proposed plan.
The ministers declared that they
thought a welfure worker, such as a
nurse sent out by the department of
health to work with the health offic
er could do most good. They were
also of the opinion that $2,000 was
sufficient to carry on this work.
Mr. and Mrs. Lonnie Meeks were
painfully but not seriously injured
on Snturday night when their cr~
was hit on the Sanitarium Avenue.
Mr. and Mrs. Meeks, who work at
Allen’s. Invalid Home, were enroute
to Milledgeville and had come down
Hollinshcad’s hill and were turning
into the avenue and paved road
when they were hit by. the other
driver who was coming from this
city. They were both taken to the
City Hospital. Mr. Meeks suffered
from shock. Mrs. Meeks had several
bruises and cuts.
