The fund to aid the Fatherless
Children of France has been endorsed
by the Wisconsin State Council of De-
Tense and is to be handled by the Wo-
man IS Committee of the State Coun-
ell of Defense who win ask each Chair
man of the Woman s Committee of the
County Council of Defense to appoint
some woman in her county who will be
sufficiently interested to properly pres
ent the work. Mrs. George Milne will
act as Chairman of such :. Committee
in Kenosha County
While a movement of this kind can
only be supported in nominal way by
the Patriots Fund Committee the mem
bers feel that the work should be given
the earnest consideration of individuals
in the community who will take per-
sonal interest in assisting this very
worthy undertaking.
The Patriots Fund Committee insunes
the people of Kenosha County against
further financial solicitation for War
Relief Purposes, but does not diseour-
age the idea of personal interest in
the work. The fund for The FatherIess
Children of France is one in which per-
sonal interest should be encouraged and
it is hoped that many volunteers will
assist Mrs. Mime in her efforts to fur
ther this work in Kenosha There are
several individuals IN Kenosha that are
already supporting one or more of these
Fatherless Children of France in add
ton TO their support of the Patriots
Fund.
Mrs. Milne win be in a position to
furnish the names of French Children
for Adoption in short time.
The second payment of 100000 to
the Y. M. G. A. work and of $500 to
the Knights of Columbus work will be
made at once.
The report Of the Treasurer showed
that 100000 had been collected and
$4,000 had been paid out. A com
plete report of the disbursements will
be published in few days.
The Coal situation which was brought
before the Committee by letter from
Fuel Administrator Burke was care
fully considered by the Committee, and
while the members of the Committee
appreciate the serious condition that
citizens of Kenosha are facing, they
did not feel that it came under the
Jurisdiction of the Patriots Fund Com
mlttee ana voted not TO take any for
NAL action upon the letter. Several
members of the Committee represent
other organizations that this situation
should more properly come before.
These organizations will make every
effort to assist Mr.. Burke in relieving
the very serious situation.
The next meeting of the Patriots
Fund Committee will be held in the
Chamber of Commerce Rooms Monday
evening, February 18th, at seven thirty
p. NJ. These Committee meetings are
not closed to the public and any citi-
zens who are sufficiently interested
would be welcome at the meetings.
