Show "CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME" SUFFEKN, X. Y. After three months of following the old adage, the Rockland Volunteer Aid Society, which helps needy families that are not qualified for public relief, has operated so successfully that its officials openly declare if any one in their community is in want, it is because the society hasn't heard of the case. The plan was originally conceived by Anthony Cucolo, who came from Italy many years ago and worked himself into a position of wealth. All the tradesmen in this town are either contributing their services free or at cost. Membership is open to anyone who contributed fifty cents to the society's fund. Officers are shown (left to right) Dr. E. A. Scaia, president; Anthony Cucolo, founder and chairman of the board of directors, and Fred B. Nidd, relief administrator. |
