.owMuch Is aChiId
Worth9 Contribute

Turn for moment, if you will,
from your own coy family circle to
those 100000 starving, ragged, help
less Jewish children in Eastern Eu-
rope. Consider their lot. You'll
have to stretch your imagination to
the breaking point-and even then
you viii not exaggerate the grim,
terrible facts.
THINK OF IT!
Almost a million innocent chill
dren robbed of their birthright
Their childhood IS awry. Ever since
their prattling baby days they have
known only war. Peace to them is
an utter stranger. For years thou
sands Of them have wandered, refu-
gees from contending armies. Other
thousands are orphaned. None have
known full meal in five years. They
can't remember what milk tastes like.
Think of the long dreary days,
with the hunger pangs ever gnawing
at their little vitals. Think of the
terrible endless nights-spent alone
and unprotected out in the fields
under the stars or on dirty city
streets. Think Of the rags and the
dirt and the lack of loving kindness,
of the sickness and the suffering and
the heartaches Of myriads Of little
tots tout on their own" in world
gone mad.
Could but part of the sufferings
Of little Jewish children throughout |
Eastern Europe in the past five
years be summed up in words, the
world would stand aghast. Surely
the heart of the loving God must be
sorely wounded at what these little |
one has been through.
Here is a situation where race,
creed, nationality nothing counts
except humanity. It is a blot on
the escutcheon Of the human race.
Nor can America ever clear herself
if she permits these conditions to
continue.
Those multitudes Of Jewish chill
dren in Eastern Europe must have
food. They must have clothing.
They must have decent place to
live.
And they must have little of the
care and loving kindness that is the
birthright Of every child born into
the wOrld-of the child Of your heart
and Of these numberIess Jewish chill
dren.
The first consideration Of Ameri-
can Jewry is to care for the untend-
ed. unfed, unclothed-and unloved-
offspring Of the race across the sea,
But it is the first consideration not
only Of Jewry, but Of America as
whole. The $35,OO0,OOo that the |
American Jewish Relief Committee
needs from the United States this
year will go, primarily, to save the
Jewish childhood abroad.
Shall it ever be said that for few
paltry dollars host of little children
were allowed to perish?
sHARE-DoNT DODGE.
Here are the facts:
With $500 you can save one
child's life in Eastern Europe for
whole year.
For $50 you can feed one little
girl for a month, even in Poland,
where food costs twice as much as it
does here.
For 25 cents you can buy q To-
year-old boy more food than he has
had to eat at one time for the past
five years.
There are 100000 Jews in East
ern Europe whom the war has left
dependent upon US for aid. About
s0O,O 600 Of them are children.
One change Of clothes may save
boy or girl from the terrible typhus
epidemic which is raging now IN
Eastern Europe.
