The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1919-02-07

There will be incessant calls upon
this country for some time to come
for funds to assist in caring for our
soldiers and putting Europe on it's
feet, ETC., and for this reason the War
Chest Fund is just as necessary now
that an armistice is in force, as it
would have been had fighting contin-
ued
The American Red Cross must have
support in its work. The United
War Work Fund to which this Dis
trict has as yet paid nothing includes
the following agencies: Y M C. A.,
Knights of Columbus, Salvation Army,
Jewish Welfare, American Library
Association, Y w. C. A. and War
Camp Community Work. The quota
for the entire country on this work
was $170,000,000 Hamilton District
has for its quota Sill 900 and over
subscription of the country as a whole
amounting to little less than 25
per cent, which we should meet, MAX
ing our quota about 100000
The Armenian and Syrian Relief
movement indorsed by the govern
ment agencies has asked the country
for $30,000,000 and the quota assign
ed to Butler County is $18,128 of
which Middletown, Lemon and Madi-
son townships have agreed to take
$4,000. The share of Hamilton Dis
trict is therefore $10128.
The American Committee on De-
vastated France is asking for $2,400
Their cause seems a very good one
and their request very reasonable
There is call for help for the Father
less Children of France. There are
250,000 of these and a reasonable
quota for this District would seem
to be $1,000.
On January /, 1919, there had been
paid into the War Chest Fund
1920, 0,9O0.57 of which $148, ,5212 25 came
from subscribers in the city of Ham
ilton and $72,379.32 from the rest of
the District. Not more than ten per
cent of the amount paid in Hamilton
is at the disposal of the Executive
Committee for Local relief work.
This leaves net amount at the dis
posal of the War Chest Disbursement
Committee of $206,O48.45.
