Her sister, Franices, a sophomore at Carle- ton college, returned the 'Saine day, vigor during the closing uays ot the year. As evidence of the duty of citizens to stretch their donations to the high- est figure 'possible, Mr. Youngberg pointed to the many cases of relief. mnade ,poss*ilble by, this associated- charity through the Wilmette Wel- fare board. Many of these cases, he asseted, could not have been reachbei through the -tountyý. relief organiza- tion, white, others woiuldnot have been accorded any help* .11It. therefore devolved upon the lr<tal'br- ganization to see that necessary relief was prcvided.
