DRIVE FOR FUND
TO START JAN. 4
CITY DIVIDED IN DISTRICTS
FOR CENTRAL EUROPE
RELIEF.
COMMITTEES APPOINTED TO
MAKE HOUsE-TO-HOUsE
CANVASS.

Tuesday, January 4, 1922, the drive
for New Ulm's share Of the $3,0O0,00O
fund which is now being raised in this
country by Americans Of German
descent for the purpose of continuing
the child-feeding from the time the
of the Quakers are exhausted,
which will be about Easter time, and
continue this noble work until next
years crops have been harvested, will
be inaugurated with full force in New
Ulm.. This was decided upon at a
well-attended meeting held at the
Dutch room CT Turner Hall Monday
evening.
Divided Into Districts.
At Mondays meeting the city was
divided into districts and the persons
designated who are to make house
toulouse campaign. One Of the main
things up for discussion was the ques-
ton whether or not this drive should
be for the benefit of the starving child
rem of Germany only, or whether it
should also include the destitute
children of Austria. In order that
there may be no misunderstanding
on this score, it was unanimo ously de-
cided to have the funds raised in this
drive apply to all German children in
Central Europe and that half of the
funds raised go to Germany and the
other half of Austria.
''Volksfest" Probable.
At Mondays meeting and also at
the previous meeting the question of
having real "Volksfest" some time
in February was seriously discussed.
No action was taken as yet, but to
judge from the expressions made it
seems almost foregone conclusion
that a "Volksfest," with possibly a
German theatrical performance in the
evening, will be arranged.
Committee Appointed.
The following committees were ap-
pointed for the drive in New Ulm:
Minnesota from Second South, Mrs.
Franziska Bellm and Miss Ida Heers;

yet. These will be made in a very
shirt time.
Junior Pioneers Sponsors.
The movement for this relief work
was originally sponsored by the Junior
Pioneers of New Ulm and they have
net with fattering support from
others, and it looks now as though the
drive would go across with bang.
At the meeting held Monday a week
ago, it was decided to call upon
Junior Pioneers residing in other parts
of the county and in other sections Of
the state to assist in this work in their
respective communities and President
