HELEN JONES AIRGOOD MAKES A PERSONAL APPEAL FOR BUNDLE DAY—JULY 20 o Som e times 'in years past in this country I used to see someone wear, ing what we then considered ragged clothes but when I saw the rags in Asia Minor I decided that I had real, ly never seen any before. There'are whole villages not a single inhabitant of which is comfortably clothed. The orphans to whom'the Near East gave shelter in Harpoot came clad in rags that an American wouldn’t use even for scrubbing It isn’ ta 'part of the garment that is ragged but the whole •♦ling is a mass of rags, patched of. tentimes until there is scarcely a scrap of the original cloth left and even these rags are 'not sufficient to cover the nakedness. This tattered garment is th e only piece of clothing which the child owns. “When one realizes that many parts of Turkey are colj (In Sivas it frequently went to 5 degrees below zero and there was snow on the ground constantly from December to April last winter) and that there is practically no fuel one can appreciate the great suffering which winter brings to thes e destitute people. “One pair of tearful big brown eyes literally took the coat off of my back one day last December- As I was passing the infirmary I saw a lit. tie boy and his mother standing there He and she and a baby four days old had been turned out of a Tur. kish house a short time before and we had taken them in the mother and baby in the infirmary and the hoy into an orphanage. The little fellow had come to see his mother. His turn ha f j not come to receive warm doth, ing and he was shaking with cold and looked so small and pathetic that I just had to peel off a padded jacket which I was wearing an^ put it on him, “Anyone of the people of Green, castle would feel the same way if they were there to see it. I am sure the warm clothing which you have to give will find a grateful recipient in that land where there is nothing ” HELEN JONES AIRGOOD

LOCAL BOY IN LAND OF “BEARS” AND “ESKIMOS” ■ o To be wearing two sweaters and two pair trousers and sti’.l be cold seems altogether impossible after liv ing in Greencast..- for thj last two weeks. Yet this the effect of a statement written recently by John P. Allee in a letter to his parests Mr. and Mrs. Albeit W. Aiie? of Green, castle. John Allee is sailing the waters of the Scandinavian Peninsula with th e students from the United States Naval Ac.Jemy of Annapolis, Allee is a sophomore in the academy. He is aboard the battleship Michi. gan. On June 4 last the party boarded ship at Annapolis and set sail on June 5 Two letteis have been zeeeiv ed from Allee since the Michigan docked at Christiana the ca.pital of Norway Excerpts from the letters follow. “On Board the Michigan” Tuesday, June 21, 1921 Dear Mother anj Folks: “I haven’t written any letters to you before this because they would not be mailed until we arrived' in Christiana, and I thought that I would write you all the news in two or thre e big letters. “We are now a day and a half out of Christiana, and I shall never be so glad in my life as I shall be when we arrive^ It has been a long trip and one day is much like another On our trip through the Panama Canal last summer w e were nearly smother ing to death all the time while on this one we freeze. The thermom. eter is down around forty and fifty and a strong wind is usually blowing off Iceland. Right now, I have on two sweaters and two pairs of trousers and am still cold

“Also the sun doas not go dow n till about 10 o’clock and rises again a. bout 2:30 o’clock. So you see we are in the land of Eskimos, bears and the midnight sun. “But taking it all into consideration I am glad we are here and not on the equator This morning I was steer, ing the, ship as we went through the channel between Scotland and the Orkney Islands If you look on a map you will see the place Pentland Firth'

“I am learning a great deal on this cruise for I have more important things to do, such as steering, making drawings work in the different shops and engine rooms. The only thing that troubles me is my tremendous appetite. I can’t see what I can do but get fat, “It's ratlifcr peculiar how a person can get hardened to surroundings Any little spot no matter where or how hot or cold is good enough to sleep in. “We have been hitting some storms not to be frowned at, but I suppose I received my initiation as a sailor last summer, for I can go rolling down the decks and never feel it And at night when my bunk goes pitching around, I merely grab o n overhead and hold on. I do not believe that a trip on a liner would be half as inter, esting as on a battle ship, although it would probably be more comfort, able. “The ship seems to have taken a no tion to play submarine for a while because she just went up about twen. ty five feet and came down with a thud But you couldn’t sink a ship like this with dynamite She is about five hundred feet in length, seventy five beam and draws twenty eight feet of water displacing about 17,000 tons. There are about 300 midship. me n and 450 gobs on beard. He r or. iginal cost was about four million dollars. In fact she is just like a small city ’ “Lov e always, ” “John” The last letter received was writ, ten at ( hristiana and contains a gooj description of the city and the life there.

“Christiana, Norway” “June 23 1921” “Dear Mother: * At last, I have come and conquer. ed an d I might add seen all the lif^pf Christiana, I am enjoying mysejf wonderfully and am on the run so much that I seldom get time to do any thing. "The city is like most any large place, in fact very similar to Indi. anapolis. It is very beautiful, espeel ‘ally from th e hills which surround it-
