LET'S NOT FORGET OUR
OWN LITTLE ORPHANS

No indeed, we don't want you to
give one penny less to any little Polish
or Belgian or French orphan kiddie--
but we want to call your attention to
the hundreds of homeless, helpless
and orphan urchins right here at your
door-almost on your doorstep
own and your own little Florida
youngsters, in dire distress and need.
We don't want you to step over one
OF these little mites at your doorstep
while you extend your hands in all
to other children in need far away.
Oh! but you say, why, there are no
children in Florida really in need, are
there? Listen; right this minute there
are actually hundreds Oh little ones in
dire distress in our state. We know
because over 900 of these poor little.
unfortunates have already received
our care and attention so far this yea,
and an average of three new littlc
mites are reported each day. If VIZ
had space we could tell you of chill
dren who have actually starved 1t
death-yes, right here in your stat0
Our receiving home is packed fun
of homeless boys, girls and babies
IN fact we have had to turn our open
air school room into a sleeping room
to accommodate all the little unfor-
sarss cssvsi or ers1s ss4ssssSEyss'
dies Is just aching, craving, praying
for a good home for Christmas. Every
other orphanage and children's home
is packed full, too, and all these kid
dies just must be fed, clothed and
cared for, war or no war.
Now, good friend, listen: there are.
three big things the good people Of
Florida can do for the many little ones
under our care right now.
First-Provide every child good
home before Christmas.
Second Send us cash contribution
to enable us to continue our great
statewide, undenominational work
which provides for practically thou
sand new kiddies in need every year.
Third-Get up a package, or box,
or barrel of fruit, nuts, canned goods,
vegetables, preserves, jellies, meats,
live chickens or anything else to eat.
Or box Of children's clothss-un-
derwear, hats, caps, shoes, ties, rib
