School Sacrifice One Meal n
Week for Chinese
Fund.

Instead of observing self denial
week as means of raising money for
the 40,00O000 inhabitants of the FAM
Inc area in north Central China, the
pupils Of the Pine Mountain Settle
ment School in Harlan county, will
deny themselves on meal week for a
month, thus saving seventeen cents on
each meal. Through this saving they
already have sent SOL to the China
Famine Fund Louisville. This is the
gist Of letter from Mrs. Ethel De-
Long lande, received recently by the
Rev. DR.. E. Y. Mullins of Louisville
chairman of the fund. DR.. Mullins
previously issued an appeal through
out Kentucky for the observance of
week of sci fdenial by the omission
from each meal of some little food
luxury and the money thus saved to
be donated to the Chinese.

ecutive committee of the Pine Noun

Il want to tell you haw heartily our

they voted unanimously to have fam

One old grandmother in the neigh
borhood told me how she had coaxed
her granddaughter, who is day pupil
in our school to eat an etra break
fast and take more at supper time,
but Elsie replied, why granny | can
hardly eat at all, thinking of those
little Chinese children
at is touching when we realize how
little our children really have and
how willing they are to sacrifice that
little. The children plan now to carry
this campaign of dinnerless Fridays
through the month of March and are
rejoicinf in the numbers of Chinese
they can feed through this saving of
seventeen cents a day on each meal"
The funds for the starving Chinese
which is being raised in Kentucky is
gradually growing larger as checks
are being received at headquarters
