DEAR MADAM or SIR
Will you please send us JUST ONE DOLLAR to-day
Extraordinary requesty' Well, it's an extraordinary emergency.
It's a matter of life and death.
YOUR DOLLAR BUYS LIFE. Buys it away from Famine,
Winter, Torture and Disease. Buys child life, mother life.

in Belgium is the report of an investigator who knows.
PLEASE FILL IN THE BLANK AND CATCH THE NEXT

There never was a cause more urgent or heart searching.
The President of the United States, acting upon a resolution Of
the Senate. has just issued "A proclamation ealing attention TO
Poands tragedy. So have several Governors, including Governor
Whitman. All express hope and confidence that Americans will rise
to the emergency with characteristic promptneSs and generosity.
We appeal to YOU as a reader of the Sunday Sun. II every
reader of this paper sends us JUST ONE DOLLAR AT ONCE

by our field workers are critical.
Don't think this matter of JUST ONE DOLLAR too small
to bother with. Human lives re at stake; horrible suffering is to
he aIcviated.
YOUR dollar is needed. 1t will be received most gratefully.
1t will be applied efficiently. Food reaches the starving, II is
NOT diverted.
If you can afford to follow an impulse TO send more than a
