The money collected through the

How Much Must We Give
l3ecause the Crusade of ~lercy is financed by entirely voluntary gifts the more a person can contribute the more assistance can be rendered by
member agencies to the citys needy Therefore each member of the departshy
ment is asked to give generously JTowshyever only the individual police officer can honestly decide how much he can afford The po I ice departmen t has set no quota fol itself or for its members
When asked what he thought each police officer should contribute Supt Wilson replied This is a most worthy
cause and I urge each member of the
department to help as best he ca n The spirit of giving lies in the
heart he continued and I do not
want any member of this department to
feel he is being compelled to contribute I sincere ly hope that what an officer gives is a manifestation of his tllle
feel ings Gut I set no quota nor sanction
one Giving is chari ty and true chari ty
is never clothed with duress
