A Personal Letter to You, Reader!
viii You Respond?

Recently letters were mailed to nearly one hundred of
the prominent business people on Five Mile Beach, appeal
ing for funds for the Near East sufferers, but responses
were few.
The Near East Relief is an organization, incorporated
by act of Congress to meet the needs of the famine stricken
area in Armenia and Syria, and noble men and women the
country over are carrying on the work of relief. The money
we give is used to buy food for starving women and
children. Thousands of little children have but a single
garment to cover their nakedness and to protect them from
the bitter cold of winter.
The quota of this island is a little less than a thousand
dollars. County Chairman Judge Eldredge informs me,
and he adds that Stone Harbor has already gone over the
top Wildwood is Tagging: Surely this comparatively
small amount should be quickly and cheerfully raised.
Many towns are aiming to double their quota.
Wildwood must not be a laggard in this campaign. 1t
is up to our substantial citizens to lead in the matter before
we pass the hat to take up the collection.
Give today and save a little child from starvation.
One Wildwood woman has asked this question: "How
long will it be necessary to help the people in the Near
East" This question is answered by the relief organization
as follows: providing the political conditions become
settled, Near East Relief will cease its emergency work
after the harvest of 1920. However, it will be compelled to
continue the maintenance of the hospitals and the orphanages
after this date
"The suferings of the Armenians and others in
the Near East appeal with special force to the people
of the United States. The response should be prompt
and generous. enclose my personal contribution =
WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN.
To a mother of three children the workers at a food
station in Armenia were forced to say: Send us one of
your children, the same one every day, and we will keep
him alive; the rest will have to starve." The trouble with
us in America is that we do not have starving people at our
doorstep and since the conclusion of the war we forget that
there is still suffering. The greatest need is that haste will
be used in this work Of rescue.
MANY Wildwood prosperous business people are not re-
spending to this appeal as they should. If you are in touch
with the affairs of the world, you know the need. Now is
the time to reach for your check book.
Contributions may be left with Jed Dubois, chairman,
at the Journal office; or with COPYRIGHT Smith, city hall; or
H. Foster Goslin at Coombs Lumber Co. office.
