INTERESTING LETTER
:. FROM M0ULTRIE
Chair Orphanages,
Beirut, Syria.
Dear TrubShaW:--a

was quite surprised few day
hgo, when opening the Times-Record
to find right on the front page let
ter written to Mr.. and Mrs. Basset
about my trip over here. 1t was no
written for publication. at all and
could not have been particularly in
teresting to your readers. The WORK
in which / am engaged may however
| be, and so l am writing'a short (?)
account of it for you.
As you know, l am here under the
auspices of the American Committee
of Relief in the Near East. The work
of this committee covers quite large
territory, extending from Constan-
rtinople east into the Caucasus Noun
tains with headquarters in Tiflis; south
and east Of Constantinople through
Conieh Adana, Marash, HAleppo Har-
poot, Tripoli, HONS etc to Beirut
to Sidon and Damour to Jerusalem.
In the Causasus District the need
of relief, in the way Of food and cloth
ing more pressing than in the district
where I am working; conditions are
far, worse there than in any part of
the field; but everywhere where we
are working there is need enough. Our
particular work here has sinmered
down ito !orphanage work; the soup
kitchens and industrial work being
closed up as speedily as possible.
At the present time there are in
the neighborhood of $4,000 orphan
children under the care of the com
mittee. The large majority Of them
are Armenian; though down in the
Beirut district the Syrian children
predominate.
In the particular orphanage in
which Mrs: Moultrie and I are work
ing there are altogether, at the pre-
sent time, 500 children; of these a.
bout 100 are Armenians; we have
two establishments; one large school
building for the girls, (about 30O) !;
and about a mile from them, housed
in about 10 different buildings, the
200 boys. The location 'of this par
ticular work is ideal. We are up in
the mountains about 1000 feet, within
sight of Beirut which lies to the
south of US some 20 miles; at the foot
of the mountain we are on, the glori-
ously blue Mediterranean Sea stretch
es north and south, and across it to
the west we can almost imagine we
can see the shores of our beloved
country. Back of us, rise the Lebanon
mountains, of which ours is a part,
in ever ascending attitudes snow cap
ped and rugged, making a royal
back ground to an already exquisite
landscape. The climate thus far has
been NEST enjoyable; a trifle chilly
during the winter months, with some
snow, which lasts only a day or so,
but, at the present time,: ideal. On
the lower levels during the summer it
is horribly hot; they say that Beirut
is almost unbearable for about four

MUSICAL TREAT
MONDAY, MAY ;

- The Norwegian Nightingales,' y
Agnes Lerstad, mezzo contralto, and
Melvina Lerstad, soprano, are young
ladies with naturally delightful voices,
who are rapidly climbing to the pin
nacle of fame. They are being fea-
tured in the Lerstad Concert Company
under the management of the North
western Booking Bureau of St. Paul.
With them are Miss Mary Goodrich
Read, violinist, whose equal is not
often heard; she has lifelong fa-
miliarity with the violin, has received
training both in this. country and in
Europe, and has played before many
audiences in both countries. The harp
ist, Miss Fern Genevieve Van Bramer
adds a quaint attraction to: the pro-
gram; the. sweet harmony of the harp
is not equaled by any other instru-
ment and the training and experience
Miss Van Bramer has received enables
her to produce most pleasing effects.
All this is delightfully."- supported by
the excellent accompanying on the pl-
ano by Miss Margaret Henke. Miss
Henke's remarkable technique enables
her to perform not only as a soloist,,
OUC also us du dCCOIlpnAlAoO VI - AAAooo
sympathetic type. Miss Hazel Bryn-
gelson, as a reader, makes the audi
ence both laugh and cry, is also with
the Norwegian Nightingales. She ex-
presses the subtle humor found in y;
Henry's stories by the infections OF
her voice and in her splendid facial ex-
preston. She also reads from other
authors. Her lighter numbers include
many dialects.
It has been said by most severe
critics that this is group Of artists
that is seldom, if ever, surpassed. So
there is a real treat in store for the
people of Valley City, Monday eve
ming, May 3rd at the Normal auditor
ium, under the auspices of the auxll,
iary Guild of the Congregational
church.
Miss Agnes Lerstad is well known
to Valley City people, having been
heard in recitals at the Normal and
in choirs' Of different churches OF the
city while a student at the Normal
school.

Did any one mention food; we'll, ]
have not yet been able to get used to
it; it is so entirely different from our
: American cooking, that one has to
adjust one's taste to it. l find it
hard to grow enthusiastic over it.
There is practically only one kind of
at-mutton-eaten up here, and
that grows trifle tiresome when
served at every meal Of course if
one likes goat meat, that is easy to
get; but excuse me- Butter and
cream are unheard Of luxuries. The

have been trying to. get used to the
native bread; l cannot describe it to
you; nothing like anything have
ever seen before; it looks more like
leather than anything else, and if
more than day old, tastes like it.
Almost everything is cooked in very
poor Olive oil, and, when one does
not like olive oil at all, it is rather un-
fortunate. And then it is fattening,
and do not need it.
The Orphanage work is most inter-
esting. The little waits come to us,
for the most part, in pretty bad con-
vition. Physically weak, usually COW
cred with dirt and other disadvantag-
es which l will not mention. The
first thing we do to them is to give
them bath and cut their hair off;
then get some clean clothes on them
and feed them up. Wholesome food
is what they need more than anything
else; they soon begin to respond to it.
After they have been with us for "a
month or two, you would not recog-
nize them. Lack of proper nutrition
for the past five years has broken
down their health, so that they are
pretty susceptible to the various all
ments which come along; we always
have a good many children in the hos
pital, especially from among the late
arrivals. But when they once get the
regular and proper food, they are Il
sturdy and healthy lot of children.
Of course we run regular school
all the time; for the 500 scholars we
now have, there are about 25 teachers,
very porly equipped for teaching
it is true, with one or two exceptions,
but the best we can get. 1t is hard
to get any team work out of them
they do not seem to at all realize the
Importance of their job. In religion,
the large majority of the children are
Maronites,-a branch of the Roman
Catholic church; a few-very few
are protestants, and the Fest of them
about equally divided among the
Greek Orthodox, Greek Catholic,
Druzes, Shiites, with two or three or
perhaps half a dozen Moslems; the
Armenian children are all Of them
Gregorians
Athletics are almost entirely un-
known to them; Syrians have no idea
Of organized play of any kind; the
little children play marbles;-I wonder

PROCLAMATION |
SHIP-BY-TRUCK-WEEk

The problem of transportation OF
produce and supplies is ever becoming
more acute. In many sections of the
United States thousands of tons Of
fruit, vegetables and other farm pro
pucts 20 to waste annually because OF
the lack of proper transportation IA
cilities. In these times of high prices
and general shortage of many Leading
items of food and clothing it is spe-
cially important that conservation and
economy be practiced at every point.
Wherever conditions have warrant
ed the establishing Of motor transport
service, it has been found that mer-
chandise and produce may be shipped
cheaply and expeditiously by this
method. This system is yet IN its m
fancy. and gives assurance of shortly
developing into one Of the most i'm
portant Of our great industries.
In the interests of greater economy
and more intensive conservation OF
the essentials of life and industry, l
hereby proclaim the week beginning
May 18th as
SHIP-BY -TRUCK-WEEk
and urge upon farmers, merchants and
all others interested in improving
transportation facilities to meet on
certain designated days of that week
to take under consideration the prob
lens of transportation, and to take
| such action to inaugurate motor
transportation service as local condl-
tions will permit.
