Organization Has Rendered Ex-
j cellent Service During Past Year
i
j The annual report of the New Brit
ain Charity Organization was present
ed to the the directors at last night's
meeting. This report shows the ex
tensive work that has been carried on
during the year and the pertinent ob
servations made by the workers. The
report follows:
"Stop, look, listen!" After more
than a year at war how docs the bal
ance hang? At this time it is quite
necessary for us to contemplate on our
gains and our losses, to consider
again our responsibilities. Just how
has the war affected our organization
In the first place, never before has
the work of Organized Charity been so
well understood. Never before have
methods 'ben so widely accepted and
used. Red Cross Home Service is
mainly responsible for this and now
thousands are using the methods and
principles of Charity Organization So
cieties. The War Risk Insurance Bureau
has recognized the value of such
methods and has asked the Organized
Charity workers in different parts of
the country to volunteer for one visit
a week in their behalf. This provides
the Bureau with trained visitors effi
cient in family welfare work. We,
in the desire to serve, are happy to re
spond and add this bit to our regular
duties.
Like wildfire has that desire to
serve spread throughout our country.
What a wonderful development in a
short time. Not only individuals, who
heretofore have thought only of their
own gains and pleasures, are engaged
in war work, but there Is a great
growth of community spirit, a great
common desire to serve, a spirit
which must result in a marked im
provement in our community, morale.
From the results of the compulsory
physical examination of our drafted
men, what a work has already been
begun for the betterment of health in
general. How our eyes have been
opened to existing conditions and how
we have been forced to face them.
iHow Public Health agents are advanc
ing in order to not only combat with
disease 'but to prevent it. In New
vBritain the knowledge for conserving
health is being spread by our Board
of Health, by our schools, by the work
of our Visiting Nurses, by the Baby
Welfare Station, and by our newly
organized Tuberculosis Clinic. 'Be
fore another year comes we hope to
have the beginning of a Dental Clinic
established to aid in the conserving of
the future health of our children.
Dozens of babies, instead of being
left neglected at home or placed in
the care of inadequate neighbors or
other children, while the mother
works, are properly housed, fed and
entertained at the new Day Nursery.
The day has come, with the increase
of War industries, with the lack of
constant increase in immigration to
which New Britain has been accus
tomed, when additional workers in the
local factories are necessary. Thus
have mothers found, by means of the
i Day Nursery supported by the fac-
lories, an opportunity to add to the
j funds needful for the upkeep of the
j home
i Social workers feel that while worn-
en will be more and more called upon
to help in industry, all possible em
j phasis should be placed on hiring
I those who. can best be spared from
the homes. As yet we have no proof
of increased juvenile delinquency in
this city or in this part of the coun
try. This danger must be guarded
against :.-: well as any tendency to
ward dissolving family unit.
Our community with its newly cre
ated office of School Visitor has still
one more means of bettering home
conditions! in relation to school attend
ance. Whereas the New Britain
Charity Organization cheerfully an
swered requests heretofore from vari
ous school iprincipals and truant offi
cer to investigate home conditions,
better results can now be obtanied by
having a full time officer for that
special work and our co-operation is
freely offered.
j The man who chooses to neglect his
I part of supporting the family is quick
' ly dealt, with these days with well pay
ing employmentcalling to him from all
sides. And the chronic deserter, who
has conic home once more, in order
to claim exemption because of a "de
pendent" wife, is cheerfully hustled
into service. Then, for once in her
married life his better half receives
regular suport.
Almost never does the vagrant find
it possible to obtain alms for the ask
ing and scant indeed should be the
sympathy doled out to the one armed
or one legged beggar who sits at the
corner with his dozen lead pencils. Al
ready our injured soldiers are demon
strating what a man can do when
maimed, and any citizen minus a leg
can, by means of crutches at small
cost, find his way regularly to our fac
tories and with a pair of normal
hands find sufficient employment to
support his family. To be sure it has
'been proved that a tidy sum can be
added to the weekly wage by leaving
at home the artificial lirnib, on a half
holiday, and gathering from sympa
thetic passers by more than a day's
pay in silver. Would not. that same
pu'blic Ibe happier to add that sum to
our War funds?
With all of the intense interest
shown in war activities there has been
the danger of our local needs and
work (being overlooked. Our Social
Workers of the city are again meeting
in conference, monthly at the Charity
Organization office, tc consider prob
lems relative to family life, to com
pare notes and plans and to work for
the best means of promoting the wel
fare of the community. It has been
difficult to hold together various com
mittees especially through the past
summer. Individual's days are fully
occupied, almost the utmost ounce of
energy is called upon, and all must
continue in the interest of war. Yet,
the important fact remains, the
home 'fires must be kept burning! Our
families here at home must be cared
for. Family life, as never before, is
being faced -with new and unexpected
re-adjustments. A period of recon
struction is beginning which must be
met and social workers must nave the
support of their community, as in
dividuals, as committees and groups,
as a whole. Then can we meet the
challenge to our a'bility as Organized
charity in welfare work which must
not be evaded.
Respectfully submitted.

Nuts for Red
on Davenport
1
I
Two youths bent on "doing their
bit" in the war went out yesterday
picking nuts, which they planned to
give to the Red Cross. They got onto
the land of Clifton E. Davenport and
went the way of any trespassers
caught on the Davenport land. This
morning at a trial in chambers the
boys explained that they had permis
sion fro'n a man named Landi to pick
nuts and unintentionally got onto
Davenport's property. They got only
a couple of quarts of nuts that looked
like "pig nuts." Mr. Davenport said
the property trespassed upon was
owned by his wife, but she was not
in court to testify that no permission
had been given to the boys.
"Would you have any objection to
the boys going onto the land for such
a commendable purpose?" asked
Prosecutor Klett. Mr. Davenport re
plied that it depended on the boys.
Some boys might go on and smash
windows and vegetables, he said. He
asserted that he had allowed some
boys to take nuts for the Red Cross,
but the statements of the accused this
morning he described as "loose."
After court Mr. Davenport told the
prosecutor that the nuts were the
shell bark variety and not the worth
less pig nut kind. "When yon are
making your report to the newspapers
this afternoon be sure to tell them
that," said Mr. Davenport to Mr.
'Klett, who promptly informed Mr.
Davenport that he was not writing for
newspapers. Mr. Davenport was re- i
ferred to the newspaper men present,
but he did not want anything to with
the reporters. Judge Meskill sent the
boys home with a word of caution.
Roch Mihofski -was found guilty of
non support and was placed on pro
bation. Sam Kerchewski of Hartford was
found guilty of operating a motor ve
hicle with improper markers and was
fined $3.
