His statement follows;
TO the Citizens OF Naugatuck:
The American Red Cross Is ask
Ing for $l0000000 10 aid the war;
stricken families OF Europe. Never
before since man collected his fam
ily In domlcllcS has devastating
wrecked so many homes as are now
torn, plundcrcd, and devastated In
Europe, Poland, Finland, Caecho-
SloVakla, Norway, Holland Bel
gium, France, Denmark-what a
long procession Of crushed and brok-
IN nations, A parade OF captive
peoples whose economy has been
destroyed, whose food has been stol-
en-, whose fuel has been taken TO
iced The German war god, Cold
hunger and disease are stalking
across western Europe touching n
million families with the black fin
gers OF want and dispaIr.
"Thc only agency on earth 10 eX-
tend a helping hand to these raw
aged people Is the American Red
Cross, II we Of the United States
are 10 maintain our leadership In
what survives Of civilization we
must show through al the turmoil
and terror the kindly heart and
reveal the generous hand that has
given Us leadership In other ways
and walks OF HE, The American
BED Cross offers the only place
where man can signal TO the world
that here IN America kindness still
rules, here men still love peace, here
men are willing 10 give of their best
to bring justice and mercy back
into shattered world.
"Naugatuck's share OF this coun-
trywide job is $1,000. AS warden
Of this borough, urge all citizens
TO support this most worthy cause
10 the end that, as has been the
case many times in the past, this
amount may be oversubscribed.
