The Medina sentinel. [volume] (Medina, Ohio) 1888-1961, 1914-12-18
Medina Helps 0
the Helpless

As we write there has been contri-
buted to the Belgian relief fund from
Medina county the sum of $1,396.58,
which sum is on deposit at a local
bank. 1t is not unlikely that the
above sum will be increased before
the end of the week to at least an even
$1,400, as predicted in the Sentinel of
last week. All the wheat contracted
fora carload, is now in process of
grinding by the o. c. Shepard Co.,
and the Seville Milling Co., and will
be ready for loading by the end of
the week. 1t is not definitely known
when the car will leave Medina for
the east, but it will probably be not
later than the forepart of next week.
or lust as soon as the train load of
food stuff arrives from Minnesota
which is destined for the same pur=
pose and point. There will be YES
sell leave the port of Philadelphia not
later than Christmas day and Medi-
mas offering to the hungered ones of
stricken Belgium will be conveyed up
on it. The following list of names
will give largely an idea of the sourc-
es throughout the county from which
the relief fund was contributed, al
though there were a number of per-
sons who contributed generously who
preferred that their names should not
be published. The originators of this
philanthropic idea are to be commend
ed to the highest degree, as well as
those who responded so promptly and
so generously. And the county as a
whole now stands in the enviable po-
sition Of being the firse county in Ohio
to launch carload of provisions to
Belgium on its own initiative. The
