Lost Time.

| ma county for the Hoover COMMISSION
on European Relief have topped the
$4,000 mark and are on the rapid I'M
crease. Just a few townships are
still inactive. This is due to the fact
that local people with energy enough
to see through a canvass have not
been found. In every case without
exception where a reasonable canvass
has been made the funds are in hand.
Several townships have already clean
ed up.
The present reports are as follows:
Hinckley has already turned in
funds to care for twenty children and
has more on the way. The Hinck-
ley committee hopes to finish up as
isoon as the roads will permit
Granger has made no report, but
Chairman Harry Codding assures US
that the work is on and the cash is
coming.
Sharon has already cared for 28
children and has one route still to
Icanyass when well-known Sharon
mud is a little less in evidence. Shar-
on will probably care for another five
or 10 children.
Wadsworth is hot on the trail, with
viii Bolick as chairman and six wom-
ans organizations doing the canvass
ing. While only an amount to care
for three children has actually been
turned in, many times this has al
ready been raised and within a week
or ten days Wadsworth expects to Be
able to foot the bill for at least 300
of the little sufferers.
Brunswick, while much Of the ter
rftory is<still unworked, has already
cared for 10 children. j;@
Medina has completed it's canvass
except for a few odds and ends anc
has been able to care for at least 25(
| children.
/ Montville to date has turned h
enough to care for IL children. In.
ldications are that the canvass there
| is completed. This small amount iii
\ jdicated that many Montvills peopls
have not participated; there is still !
1 chance. Il; \, KIN ~ 81 ".
Guilford has reported to date OIL,
enough for six children, but no sys
tenatic canvass has been made yet
or if it has been made the results have
not been reported to the county treas.
urer Of the fund.
i Liverpool is also struggling with
bad roads and has reported only
enough for the care of four children
but Chairman Sailer says there is
much more on the way. Liverpoo
people have also given literally thru
their churches to other relief work.
i York tops the list for the townships
with smaller population. The Yorl
committee, under the leadership oil
Chris Bohley, has already cared fol
/ over 40 children and more money is
still coming in. This shows what
can be done despite all mud roads
when local committee gets busy OF
\ real canvass. The committee wht
/. did the job in York are C. G. Bohley
| chairman; Homer B. Wood, Mrs. G
| A. Hindman, R. A. Lance, Mr.. anc
Mrs. 0. G. Swartz, c. E. Dickerman

to roll up their sleeves and get busy

it will be a good one.
4 Litchfield has reported nothing. =
Il Chatham is also on the missing lis
to date.

who will do the work and only enough
money to care for eight children ha.
