RELIEF
REQUIRES FUNDS
Serious Delay Threatens Un-
less Money Is Increased
by Friday at Noon.

Serious delay threatens the relief
work In the La Plata tornado area of
Charles and Prince George Counties,
Nd, unless relief funds being raised
hero and at La Plata are materially In.
creased by Friday. Approximately
$4,000 is needed for immediate use
IN the storm district and at present
less than half that amount has been
contributed to both funds.
The La Plata committee, headed by
state Senator Walter Mitchell, will
meet Friday with Red Cross officers
ender G. B. Gwin of the national
headquarters. to determine how the
funds on hand shall be disbursed. 1t
ss thought at present that whatever
amount has been contributed by that
day will be proportioned among the
neediest families. Since SO little money
ts available for that use, the com
naittee Is making an earnest appeal
for as many more contributions as
people and business houses will be
able to donate and 1t urges donors to
have their funds in the hands OF the
relief workers before Friday or at
the latest by noon Of that day.
50 Families Affected.
The Star continues to receive con
,ributions from its readers and 1t Will
accept all additional sums which
NNashingtonians and the residents OF
other places send to II in answer to
la Plata's new appeal.
Although it was announced two
days ago that approximately 25 farms
had been swept by the storm. it was
pointed out this morning by Mr..
Gwin. who had returned for one day
from La Plata TO direct Red Cross
activities in that territory from here,
that at least so families have been
affected by that destruction alone. In
many cases there are one and often
Two tenants operating different crops
on one farm and thus, in addition TO
the owner OF tho property. the actual
workers are made destitute. With
their Summers crops and barns de-
moiished. their capital and source OF
income for a. whole year Is practl'
cally wiped out.
Mr.. Gwin today praised the resi-
dents of the storm area for their forti-
tude and absolute fairness. He said
they are courageously going about in
their work of reconstruction and that
IN estimating the money value of
their destroyed buildings they are ex'
tr,emely fair. In many cases a man
will value his destroyed house far
less than the cost of reconstruction
because, as he will point out, lit was
an old place and wasn't much more
good. anyway" Appeals to the Red
Cross for immediate aid, Mr.. Gwin
said, are being made only where dire
necessity demands it and 1t Is these
persons that the relief COMMITTEES
will assist.
