Frank Hall built new house this
spring on his land two and one-half
miles west and one mile south of Wal
rath. This house was built of tama-
rack poles placed UP and down seven
feet high and four poles were placed
above these upright poles to give close
to two feet more space to be used as
an attic. This makes an inexpensive,
but neat and durable house.
Myrl HeatOn has a span of mules
that he works in clearing land for the
settlers near Walrath. He is a handy
man with a team and he works along
with the tractor outfit doing the work
that cannot be profitably done with the
tractor. Between the tractor and the
mules the job is easily taken care Of.

To START
JEWISH DRIVE
Campaign for $4,000 for
Relief Work to Start Here
Tomorrow

Perth Amboys campaign to raise
$4,000 among the Jews OF the city
for the relief of their people in
Eastern Europe starts tomorrow.
The drive is the local phase of the
nation wide movement to secure a
fund of $14 100000 for nergency
and constructive aid among the
Jews of Europe. hundreds of thous-
ands of whom are destitute as the
result of the great war and its en-
suing disorders in Russia, Poland,
Galicia and portions OF Austria and
Hungary.
This city has an executive com
mittee composed of representative
made captains of teams who will
Jews and the members have been
canvass the. entire Jewish popula-
tion in search of contributions
Each captain has number OF men
under him and has been assigned a
section of the city to cover. Chair
man, Harry S. Medinets and his men
have card indexed every Jew in
Perth Amboy and a personal inter
view will pe secured with each one.
In addition to the main organiza-
tion, a women's committee is being
formed to work among the women
during the drive. This committee
is headed by Mrs Leo Goldberger
and the plan is similar to that of the
men. Men and women will work in
dependently but will be responsible
to the executive committee.
Intrest in the local campaign is eX-
tremely great, according to COM
mittee members. Aided by promi-
nent men and women connected
with the national drive, the Euro
pean situation and the urgent ne
cessity for instant relief have been
brought to the attention of the peo-
pie of the city and the campaign
seems assured of success. The COM
mittee members, both men and wo-
men, are heart and soul in support
of the movement and many believe
the quota of $4,000 may be eX-
ceeded.
