Knox County People Must

VIII Knox county as a whole see to

Putting the same question in a diff.

the remaining 500 are kept from star.
vation?
There isn't a man or woman in
Knox county who would not rush into
a burning building or spring into a
river to rescue child from death-at
"a great risk to themselves--but the
present call is different and is going
to show whether we're a people whose
desire for heroics is greater than the
humanitarian impulse which is sup.
posed to rule when the life of child
is imperiled.
The lives Of 1000 children are i'm
periled by starvation. There's moth
ing spectacular or bordering on the
heroic in person simply digging up"
$40 to buy starving child some food
to save its life-but 1t means just as
much to the starving child as plung-
ing into raging river means to a
drowning one.
Were Knox countys quota of 1000
starving children transported to Knox
county and distributed in the various
communities, it would not take 30
minutes for the people to have them
fed and provided for, for the next few
months at least. That would give an
opportunity to "show Off'-to do
something spectacular, while the rest
of the world looked on-but simply
digging down and producing the mon
ey to feed these children while every
other community is doing the same
thing with respect to its quota is pro.
sale, and the returns on the European
relief campaign are going to show the
communities where the love for hero
les and showing off, is greater than
the spirit of humanitarianism and the
love of children, plus actual pity for a
hungry child
Knox county never failed to respond
to the call during and after the war,
when the response meant applause
from the galleries" and the appeal Of
1000 hungry children whose lives de-
pend upon Knox, county is going to
sohw in the coming week whether
Knox county is "fourflusher and a
piker," or county Of real human
folks.
