* STRAIGHT FACTS FOR * STRAIGHT THINKING BY NEWTON D. BAKER, CHAIRMAN NATIONAL CITIZENS COMMITTEE . It is true that billions are being spent by the Government in order that people may not die of cold and hunger. . But these billions, divided among the families in need, average for each family only about $24 a month. . And 70% of the free hospital services in the United States for the needy sick are provided by voluntarily supported hospitals. The sick among the unemployed number 48% more than among the employed. . Likewise public health nurses, also supported by your voluntary gifts, report that 66% of all their visits in 1933 were in homes unable to pay for the service rendered. . 30% more children have had to be removed from their own homes and cared for by volun- tarily supported children’s agencies. . Two-thirds of all the arrests for crime involve 10. persons between the ages of 15 and 24 years. Millions of boys and girls living under con- ditions destructive to character need the char- acter-building services of your recreation agencies. . A man may die of despair, as well as of hun- get, for suicides, numbering 15,368 in 1928, grew to 20,927 in 1932. This shows that more and more people are ceasing to value the only kind of life they are able to attain. . America cannot be rebuilt by relief measures alone. . Your local community chest needs your sup- port during this year of rebuilding human hope and morale. It supports hospitals, clin- ics, child-care organizations, character-build- ing agencies and many other social services. When you give in your city, you strengthen the forces of civilization in the neighborhood in which you live. 1934 MOBILIZATION FOR HUMAN NEEDS comicbooks.com asincsicastll
