ALL TO GO FOR

Last winter. Delaware subscribed
s15O.oOo for the starving children

came from the purses Of Whining

This year Wilmington men and
women are being asked to contri-
butte. no. for European children. but
for their own friends. and neighbors.
and the children OF these parents.
The business depression that this
city is too slowly emerging from
was presaged last winter. and at
that time. the question was asked.
how about the children OF this city?
What would 5e done to- aid them
during the months when because
fathers and mothers are out Of en-
ployment. there may be few clothes.
little fuel and no nourishing food2
The sympathetic citizens who con-
tributed to the Hoover Relief cam
paiEn were prompt with the answer
that whenever unfortunate condi-
tions assalled this city. they would
be just as ready and more so. to aid
the folks at home as they were those
abroad.
With that in mind. Colonel George
A. Elliott. chairman OF the Emerg-
ency Relief Fund Campaign has
made an appeal for funds. The
sum OF S1OO.O Is sought. and with
this amount. those who have figured
out the matter believe that the need
in this city this winter can be met.
EVERY PENNY CONTRIBUTED
TO THE CAMPAIGN WILL BE
USED SOLELY TO RELIEVE
NEED AND WANT.
That is possible because the Ser
vice Citizens has underwritten all
the expense OF the campaign. Every
cent, every dollar and upwards will
go directly into the home OF the
needy, in clothing or fuel or food.
Appeals for the funds were made
in the churches yesterday. At some

gratifying.
