APPEAL FOR help FOR
VICTIMS OF FLOOD AREA

Dear reader. have you ever felt the
pangs of hunger, with no idea of
where or how you would obtain the
means of satisfying your desire for
food? Have you ever been homeless
without clothing or food? Have you
ever had everything you possessed in
the world swept away from you while
you could only watch it 80, powerless
to prevent it? Imagine yourself and
family in this destitute condition. 1t
is not a very pleasant picture is it?
Yet the picture is a grim reality with
between 10000 and 10000 people in
Louisiana today. Driven from their
homes by the flood waters Of the
Mississippi, which have inundated .
parishes. these people have sought
refuge in small towns here and there
on the edge of the flooded areas, and
in many cases are forced to sleep in
the open. Just now they are abso
lutely helpless as far as providing for
their present needs, and every day as
the waters from the Mississippi keep
reaching further and further over the
lowlands of the State.
Those who take time to consider the
plight of their fellow Louisianians are
bound to feel that they would like tC
help. And in order to give every read,
cr the opportunity to do their bit the
Democrat has openeda column for the
benefit of the flood sufferers, and in.
vites cash contributions from all who
would like to help, Each contribution
! will be acknowledged through this
column, and the contributions forward.

Doubtless the principal Of each high
school in the parish Is taking steps
to raise a fund for the relief OF the
flood sufferers, and such action would
be highly commendable. The Democrat
will welcome for publication the
amounts raised through the efforts OF
any of the schools, and if desired the
contribution may be sent to us
and we will forward it Immediately to
the proper head for distribution.
We ask all who desire to help, to
mail us their contribution at once, so
that we can place it in the hands OF
those who are supervising the relief
work. Acknowledgement will be made
in the issue of the Democrat following
receipt Of your check.
