LOCAL DRIVE FOR RED
CROSS GOES OVER TOP
Continued from Page y

Berta Bradford, treasurer of Worces-
ter County War Relief Fund at Snow
Hill on Saturday of last week, Is pei
cent of the $3.50 was sent by check to
the treasurer of Pocomoke War Relief
Fund to be used by the Production
Chairman for materials used in pro-
ducing garments for the victims of
the war. The first shipment of gar
ments made by this chapter, as well
as throughout the nation, has been re-
ceived in Europe. The second ship
ment will be ready in another month.
It should be gratifying to the pub
lie to know that there are funds on
hand now to not only meet the second
quota of $3.50, but also the third. This
means that there will be no more
solicitation of the people necessary
for some time.
The picture abroad, however, is
black indeed. Five million civilian
refugees on foot, on bicycles, in
trucks, in horse-drawn vehicles, and
on trains, fleeing blindly before two
invading enemies. Thousands are
sick, wounded; many must leave their
dead along the roadside, as they are
driven relentlessly forward; all are
suffering from hunger, exhaustion
and bitter hopelessness of soul. Worst
of all, thousands of innocent children
are separated from their parents, for
ever, crying for food, home and moth
er. No "Children's Day" for them,
as our children have been privileged
to enjoy--they are now huddled to-
gether in pens like cattle, until some
one comes to their rescue. Their cry
rings out to us in the night, "Help
US, America, or we perish"
The chairman of the local chapter
wishes to express deep gratitude to
the co-chairman of the War Relief
Fund, Mr.. Philips Scher, and to all
the other solicitors, who eagerly went
out to secure money for this cause,
and for the cooperation of the public
in general, in their generous re-
Spouse. Contributions were made in
a grand spirit. With Italy now at
war, the Red Cross Committee can
only ask that if and when the time
comes to ask for a further contribu-
ton citizens of the community may
respond with the same fine spirit of
Americanism.
The War Relief Fund Committee
was as follows: Mrs. r. Lee Hall,
chairman and treasurer; Mr.. p, L.
Scher, co-chairman and chairman of
Business Mems Group; Mrs. VIM. H.

New Map Rugs Winning
Praises For Value To
ChIdren's Education

A unique Map Rug that has won
high praise for its educational val
ue in the study of geography is
providing an ideal Christmas gift
for local Sabotage children.
Educators the country over have
favorably commented on the unus-

Need Cited By Council

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-R-The
federal council of churches declared
today that christian fellowship
among the races is needed now in
America, with a world at war, as at
no other time in our history" and
urged inter-racial tolerance.
every kind of race problem in
the world is found in some form in
the United States" the councils mes
sage continued. Prejudice against
the Jews has become fragrant in
America; our attitude toward In.
dams Mexicans and Orientals has l.
jured all of us and has not contribut-

and good will"

General Of French
Colony Sees Little Hope For
Early Settlement

HANOI, French Indo-China, Dec,
8.-R-Admiral Jean Decoux. gov
ernor-general, held little hope OF
an imminent settlement of the Dor.
der dispute with Thailand (Siam) in
an interview granted tonight amid
reports Of mounting frontier hos
t%ilities.
"The French attitude remains un.
changed and no new grounds for
conversations r being sought" he
said.
Despite military concessions to
Japan in the north and her troubles
with Thailand in the south and
west, Indo-China intends to retain
complete authority within her Dor.
ders, he said.
In this connection he added thai
"Indo-China has not received any
japanese demands regarding South
Indo-China."
"a Domei, Japanese news agency,
dispatch received from Hanoi in
Hangkong said Thailand troops
crossed the Cambodia frontier twice
today. Ground troops attacked a
small village and Thai planes ma.
chine-gunned it. simultaneously, the
dispatch said, Thai bombers attacked

Thailand has completed the evac
