WAYNE RELIEF WORK TO FEED CHILDREN OF EUROPE, STARTED Preparations .for a campaign in Wayne county to obtain funds for the starring children of Europe were made at a meetine of citizens held in the Chamber of Commerce rooms Sunday afternoon. L. G. Reynolds has been apponted chairman of the campaign for funds to be be obtained in Wayne county. Robert E. Huen has been named secretary-treasurer. .The following persons were named as the nucleus for an executive committee: Alonzo Gardner, chairman, K. M. Haas, Mrs. Paul Comstock. John J. Harrington, Jr., Samuel Fred, Walter Fulghum and Miss Margaret StarrAdditions are planned to this committee. It was found necessary, however, to have a committee of citizens as a starting point for a thorough organization. A representative gathering was present at the Sunday meeting. Both S. Edgar Nicholson and Harry K. Stormont, representative of the Indiana state organization of the European Relief Council, made addresses. Mr. Nicholson told the purposes for which the money was to be used, and answered questions on angles of the work. Purchase Foods. It was brought out that $10 will feed a child until the next harvest. This was explained by Mr. Nicholson as "sufficient to purchase the kinds of foods that children need, but which are not available in tho European countries." The condition of the under-nourished children, and the results, stunted growth, cripples suffering from rickets and tuberculosis, were narrated by Mr. Nicholson. Seventy percent of all funds received in the $23,000,000 campaign goes directly for feeding purposes; 25 percent is to be turned over to the American Red Cross for surgical and medical supplies; and the remaining five percent is to be used by the American Relief administration. As practically all of the kinds of foods needed by growing children are not to be found in the European countries, it was stated that nearly all of the money contributed would be spent with American food companies. Work Started Here. So far as is known, almost $2,500 has been contributed for relief work, by local citizens. This has been done largely through the churches' It was the concensus of opinion at the meeting Sunday, that tbi3 was much less than Richmond and Wayne county should give. Mr. Nicholson said that ud until the middle of last week. Sll.?00,000 had already been subscribed to the total goal. Each state, he said, now has an organization, and prospects are very encouraging. Plans for receiving the gifts of local peop'e have not been made definitely. It has been suggested that for f. df- or two of the campaign, tables bp nlaoerl at Pdvantageous locations for the free-will offerings of the publ' Such points will be decided upon poon.
