Report Near East
Relief Fund Here
Request Chairman

That funds in the Near East Relief
campaign are being raised in Grady
county and that the county organiza-.
ton is not getting credit for these
donations, was the statement today
Of Jack Davis, appointed chairman of
the county campaign. He stated that
he had been advised that funds had
been raised 70 rthe Near East relief
and had been sent direct to the
national headquarters, instead of
coming through the regular channels
of the county organization.
Grady countys quota in this cam
paign is the adoption of 30 Near
East orphans" said Mr. Davis. "This
is equivalent to raising $4,000. The
point is this. We want Grady county
to get credit for every dollar raised.
If amounts are sent direct to the
national headquarters, without going
through the channels of the county
organization, the Grady county cam
paign will not get credit for it,
Mr.. Davis asked that all Near East
Relief workers in Grady county re-
port subscriptions to the county or
ganization.

expect people to purchase our pro.
ducts. in the event we located here
We should know something definite
