INADVISABLE TO SEND FOOD
PARCELS TO RUSSIA

Riga q. T. A.)-The new Latvian
customs regulations, established last
week by the Latvian government, are
so prohibitive that many persons to
whom parcels of food and clothing
have been sent from America are not

customs officials. This is true of par

A parcel valued at 10 American
dollars is taxed fabulous thousands

relief packages from the United
States are in a position to pay. The

it is much more advisable to send
money drafts to individuals in Rus

DR.. Oscar Levy to Be Admitted Into

London (J. C. B.)-Dr. Oscar Levy

Premier BRAND, obtained permission

all negotiations on his part for a fu-

solved the difficulty, and the noted

THE IA MILLION DOLLAR


Plans are rapidly being perfected
by the American Jewish Relief Com
mittee for the big campaign to raise
$4,000, 900 by March l for the relief
of hundreds of thousands of. Jews in
Central and Eastern Europe who have
been made destitute and in many
cases homeless through successive
stages of war, famine and pestilence.
David A. Brown, the Detroit live
wire who abandoned a European trip
to accept the chairmanshipr of the
campaign, has organized a national
headquarters at 1O3 Park Avenue,
New York. For the purposes of the
campaign the country has been divid-
ed into eleven zones, in each of which
successfully a campaign will be run.
State campaigns will be organized
within the various zones, under the
vigorous leadership of Executive
Chairman Louis Marshall, Director
Henry H. Rosenfelt, and Mr.. Brown.
The zone organization is rapidly be-
ing effected.
Meanwhile recent reports received
from Europe by the Joint Distribution
Board make it plain that the task in
hand is extraordinarily large and COM
plicated. Of the 10000 900 Jews in the
Ukraine it is estimated that nearly a
fourth have succumbed to disease,
starvation, and wars, and there are
over 10000 orphans in this territory
in extreme need. In the Odessa re-
gion there is acute suffering among
the 100000 Jews. Of the 4,OOO,O 900
Jews in Poland a large proportion are
still in straits and need assistance to
become self-supporting. In the Rou-
manian province of Bukovina, where
there is a relatively small Jewish pop
ulation, agents of the Committee have
reported 5000 Jewish homes de-
stroyed. In the Jewish town of Smar-
gon in the Minsk district, the Com
mittee's representative found only a
few brick chimneys standing amid the
general ruin caused in the Russo
Polish war and subsequent guerilla
raids, while the exiled inhabitants,
compelled to live literally as beggars
among strangers in Lithuanian towns,
pleaded for repatriation.
It is estimated that there are some
4O0, 900 Jewish refugees from Russian
districts in Poland, Roumania,
and ,Bessarabia. These poor people
must be repatriated and must receive
the. opportunity for a new start in
life. And there are 100000 Jewish or
absolutely bereft, scattered
the Central and Eastern Eu-
ropean districts and wholly dependent

Jews.

Notes From
Wildwood City Hall
By A. F. LEIBY

The fourth meeting of the Wildwood
City Commissioners in the month of
December and the final meeting in the
year 1921, was called to order at 2.10
last Tuesday afternoon, the 9th. The
session was quite lengthy, owing to
the time consumed in cosidering the
local budget for 1922, and in reading
two new ordinances introduced for the
purpose of constructing main and
branch sewer lines to take care of the
section being developed on the beach
front in the second and third wards of
the city.
The city clerk being absent on
court business at Cape May Court
House, the reading of the minutes of
the previous meeting devolved again
on the assistant city clerk. After these
had been heard and duly approved,
each commissioner affixed his sigma
ture thereto on the minute book. Then
