2 CHARITY ORGANISATION REVIEW. NOTICES AND ADVERTISEMENTS. N.B.— It is particularly requested that persons who may be good enough to assist any of the cases advertised below should send their Contributions to the Secretary of the Council, Charity Organisation Society Office, Denison House, 296 Vauxhall Bridge Road, S.W., and not direct to the District Committees whose names are mentioned in the Advertisements. 254A. The Bermondsey Committee ask for £6 2s. 6d. to meet the expenses of keeping a woman at a sanatorium. She was away from July to October, and gained 17 lb. in weight during this period. Her general progress was described as 'good,' and her lung condition as 'improved.' The husband is a shop assistant earning 30s. a week, and contributed 4s. 6d. a week regularly towards the expense. Local charities contributed £2. 286A. The St. Saviour's Committee ask for £25 7s. to complete the expenses of emigrating to Canada a family consisting of man and wife with ten children, only two of earning age. The parents had a small laundry business which did not promise much for the future, and were eager to make a better home in Canada for the children. Friends out there offered a welcome and help in getting work, and in June the family were sent out by the Joint Emigration Committee, who were also responsible for half the expenses. Of this Committee's share £18 7s. has been raised from private sources and the sale of the laundry effects, but, in spite of great efforts, it has been impossible to obtain the balance. We have good accounts of the family, who seem very happy in their new surroundings. 278A. The North St. Pancras Committee ask for £17 11s. to complete the cost of keeping E. R., aged twenty-six, at a Home for two years. She has tubercular spinal trouble, but it is hoped that two years' complete rest on her back will cure her. The total cost is 8s. a week, towards which the relations pay 3s. 6d., and the Committee ask for help towards the 4s. 6d. a week still to be raised for the remaining eighteen months' stay. A soldier brother had promised to contribute, but has been called up on active service. 3560. The Hampstead Committee appeal for help for the case of a taxi driver, with a wife and four children. The man completely broke down in health last year, and the family were given an allowance by the Committee to supplement his sick pay while he was in hospital. In January he obtained State Disablement Benefit, and the Committee got work for the wife; with help from their Church the family is now self-supporting. The Committee have raised £8 2s. 8d., and £5 10s. 6d. is needed to wipe off arrears. 23878. The Finsbury Committee ask for the sum of £5 towards the expenses of a girl who is at the Hostel for Crippled Workers at Camberwell. She has been trained by the Fine Needlework Association, and is steadily improving in her work. It is feared she will never be quite self supporting owing to her very delicate health, but she is most persevering and industrious, and is now able to contribute substantially towards her support by what she earns. 436A. The Norwood and South Dulwich Committee ask for £9 2s. a year towards providing an old lady of eighty-one with 4s. a week to supplement her old age pension. She is quite alone in the world, except for a friend who will give her a home and look after her for 9s. a week. We are anxious to make this arrangement, which would ensure the rest of her life being passed in comfort. We have only 6d. a week promised towards the 4s. required.
