CHILDREN’S CRUSE WORTHWHILE PROJECT A project that merits the interest and help of all is the Children’s Crusade for Refugee Children. The originators of the idea are Dorothy Canfield Fisher and William Allen White and the aim is to receive contributions from every school child In the United States, a penny for every year of their age. However, any amount will be acceptable. April 22-26 is the week nationally designated for the observance of this crusade. Mite boxes will be placed in every grade school room and every high school home room. Girl .Scouts are assisting with the project in grade schools and Girl Reserves fn
high school.
If this effort is even moderately successful, the sum raised will be immediately effective even in such a tragically vast field as that of these
child victims of our world crisis. The 1 money will be turned over to a com- .
mittee composed of Mrs. Roosevelt, Mrs. Fisher, Monsignor Ryan, and Mr. White. It will then be sent to well organized committees functioning in every field of refugee relief. The money will be presented as a great thank-offering for what we all too much take for granted.
