Show H CHILDREN'S AID SOCIETY OF OGDEN. H H The Children's Aid society of Ogdcn is entitled to recognition. H The good women who are members of that society nre doing a work H of charity that reaches into every home or hovel where misery Hj abounds and children are in need of succor. Hj These Samaritans leave their comfortable homes, rain or shine, H J and invite hardships in their efforts to do good for humanity. While H the average man or woman pusses by a home of sorrow without a H thought aa to how the distress therein might be alleviated or entire- H ly overcome, the women of the Children's Aid society stop, enter and 1 inquire after the little ones and, finding they are worried in mind 1 or sore in body, proceed to offer a helping hand. That is the love H and affection a fond and true mother has for her own child ex- 1 tendod to the children of others, and it is a beautiful trait. A few days ago an auto touring party from Salt, Lake had a breakdown while near Middleton, in Ogden valley The women who H were in the automobile vi.sitcd a cabin nearby while the men repaired H the machine, and there they saw a boy ten years of age who three j years ago lost part of a leg in a threshing machine. The child had M been neglected and the stump of a leg had failed to heal. For M thrre years the little fellow had hobbled around, his injured leg H swollen and his body feverish with the inflammation that had taken M possession of his system. Poverty had prevented the child receiving H the proper medical care and treatment. When word was sent to 1 the local Children's Aid souiuty an automobile was hurried to that m lonely cabin with a message to the parents of that afflicted box, and m since then binding straps have been removed from festering sores - H soft, clean bandages have been applied, and now a voungster sees M more m life than he had any thought existed before his painful cries M reached out beyond the hills of his lonely home and met with a re- H sponse from noble womankind. H A child has been removed from the Dee hospital whose club-feet m have been straightened The women brought that about. H onlv T?

Later they arc- to strive in some other manner to procure funds without asking for alms. We say to the people of Ogden that the least we-as we-as a community can do is to uphold the hands of this struggling band of mercy. The women hope to some day have a home for the poor, neglected and abused children of this city. Let us help them realize real-ize this laudable ambition. |
