DESTITUTE
BELGIAN CHILDREN

Medina, with every other place in
the country, is asked to contribute
again this year to fund for destitute
Belgian children. While the fund is
named the Dollar Christmas Fund.-"
donations of any and all amounts are
invited. No little nation in the
worlds long history has been more
previously stricken, and our aid will
help to shed a ray of sunshine this
Christmas in the "kingdom Of grief"
"The Dollar Christmas Fund" is a
very happy suggestion, and should
have the widest appeal. An organ
ization Of responsible citizens is pro-
noting this timely philanthropy and
care has been taken that the fund
shall not conflict with any present one.
Roughly there are about five mil
lion necessitous persons in Belgium.
The plight of the children and young
or expectant mothers is the worst of
all.
"The Dollar FUND.- will be called
from New York by the treasurer of
the Commission for Relief and will be

administered by the representatives Of
the Commission for Relief in Brus-
sells, who, at the end Of the war, will
report in detail to the donors on each
expenditure.
Any one desiring to contribute to
this fund, may leave the money at the
Old Phoenix National Bank, or send
to Miss Helen Mcdowell.
No Christmas in our time has brot
such call for the Christmas spirit as
this. Help to send Christmas gift
worthy of America.
