Club and will be, it is asserted. an.
other well-attended affair, and

Mayor Galley Urges
Donations To Aid
Many Flood Victims
All Contributions Will Be
Gladly Received By
Those Handling Red
Cross Fund

Mayor H. c. Galley said today
that Key Westers are expected to
respond to the calls for assistance
being made by the National Red
Cross in behalf of the more than
100000 persons who are home
less and in many instances with.
cut food, in the inundated dis
triets ia the states affected by the
terrible and unprecedented floods.
Calls have been issued by every
means of communication and the
descriptions given of the suffer-
ing being undergone are almost
unbelievable. Terror stricken
residents are being forced to flee
from their homes in heavy down
pours of icy rain and in some
cases the terror of the floods is
heightened by disastrous fires.
The mayor says that Key West
has always received her share of
the relief proffered by residents
in other sections of the country
when hurricanes have wrought
havoc in this section, and he be-
lieves that in this terrible time
when thousands are suffering
and in danger, not only from the
Flood waters, but also from the
ensuing sickness and suffering re-
sultant from the cold and exposure,
all of Key West will come to the
aid of the stricken districts and
contribute to the best of their
financial ability.
No matter how small the con-
tribution it is today badly needed
and every penny will be accept
able. Give donations, says the
mayor, to Mrs. Edwin Phillips, TO
the local Red Cross, or to Robert
Spottswood.
