 Announcement is elsewhere made of the $235 realized last week by the Near East Relief Benefit. This sum was raised specifically toward assist ance in the Smyrna crisis, which cal led upon all available resources, far and near For this purpose every school and orphanage already in oper- ation among the destitute children of the Near East handed out supplies to meet the crying needs of the moment, never questioning that they them selves would be reimbursed. Their faith has not thus far been rewarded, and although America is gradually coming forward with further help, 18.000 orphans, who survived earlier massaeres in which their parents were exterminated, are again facing cold and starvation. With funds and food supplies largely turned over to fresh victims of Turkish outrage they are again nearly destitute of the means of bare existance. Their food and shelter have teen rude at the best $60 will support one child for a year $100 will give him support and education. Last year Stafford cared for three of these thousands of little ones who look to America alone to save them. Can we not raise our quota in the coming campaign, on this meager tasis of calculation? Church collections will be taken December 17th. Opportunity will be given others in various circles of the town where mite boxes will be placed. All sums will be recorded to the credit of our township on the books of the state headquarters, Near East Relief, in Hartford. either by direct contribu- tion or through Mrs, T. c. Chapin, chairman for Stafford Springs.
