NEAR EAST APPEAL
Fight on until every orphan i'

Fight on until every orphan is safe"
 From overseas relief workers, struggling at first hand with the tragic problem of life and death con fronting 30,000 little orphan boys and girls, entirely dependent upon them for care and protection until they are old enough to care for them selves, this dramatic appeal is being sent broadcast to representatives and friends of Near East Relief.
 Under, the urge of the fervid re- quest, efforts are being redoubled here and throughout the Northwest to gather the remainder of the relief funds needed 10 finish the Near East child-saving job, according to re- port sent out by E. A. Potter, 535 Burke Building, Seattle, regional di- rector of the relief society.
 Because this is our final appeal for public aid" states MT Potter. many think our work is so nearly fin ished that further help is not needed. This unfortunate impression is so widespread that hundreds of chil- dren face the disaster of being turned out of our orphanages. probably to perish in the hardships of the im- poverished Near East lands which they are too young, too inexperienced to face.
 ''The 90,000 orphans that remain in our care are under 1 2 years of age Two more years of help will fit them for self support. It is doubly tragic for child to be set adrift when the future has seemed so full of hope.
 'It costs sacrifice and effort to save lives, and many charitable hearted friends of Near East Relief have already shown a willingness to sacrifice for the sake of these little ones whose futures are at stake.
 "A group of Indian children in an Alaska school went without meat for a day in order to send $1O.50 for Near East Relief. A hard working widow has mailed us s5 gold piece, a treasured keepsake, left by her dead mother with which to buy Bible. An old man of limited means in small country community, sent In his check for s200, enough to keep one of our orphans for two years.
 With this sort of support we still hope to finish our Near East child saving job, which we began 12 years ago, and to finish it right"

 Six of the girls escaped the flames by desperate leap from the roof of a porch to the ground below. The three girls burned to death, Evelyn Ohman, Florence Graham and Mar garet Hemmer, were trapped by the hungry flames and did not have a chance to escape.
