CURED HERE

High Point has contributed
$2,855.15 for the European Child
Relief fund, it was announced by
J.. Elwood Cox, local chairman.
High Point was asked to con-
tribute $4,000 for the support
Of 500 suffering and starving
European children until harvest.
An intensive campaign was con-
Quoted in this city. Local people
responded to the call and con-
tributed to the fund, but the
amount asked for was not rails
ed.
It is believed that with other
reports not heard from the
amount contributed will exceed
S3,OOO. When final reports are
submitted the additional money
will be forwarded to the proper
authorities, later to be sent to
Europe.
Herbert Hoover is at the head
of the movement and he asked
that the United States contrib
ute $33, 100000 to the fund. It
is not known how much of that
amount has been raised in this
country.
Greensboro and Goldsboro are
the only two cities in North
Carolina that have contributed
more than their quotas, accord
ing to reports reaching High
Point today from Henry A.
Page, of Asheboro, state chair
man of the fund.
According to Mr.. Cox's report
cash collections in this city to
date total S1,O13.7O. The sub
scriptions forwarded in cash
through the respective churches
of the city, including clothing
total 81, $40. The report shows
the deferred subscriptions to be
$129.45. Funds sent direct are
; estimated at 500.
The campaign in an effort to
raise the money has not come to
a close, it was stated today.
/ Those in charge of the work will
continue to receive contribu-
tions.
If the starving child lives Of
Europe are to be saved they
must be saved through the eff.
forts Of American people, those
in charge of the work declare.
Members Of the committee say
that $40 will spare the life of
child until next harvest.
