Klliott avenue. Anonymously they shuffle inlo the kitchen each day for their free food. Usually they number more than 1,000 and they begin arriving •shortly after 8:30 a. m., filtering in throughout the day.

Then he sends a basket of food and an investigator to look into the case. Occasionally the soup kitchen charity extends out to help some group such as the three sisters — all well [vast 70 and dependent ufxin sparse earnings as office cleaners.
