Plan Tag Sale
For Greek Aid
Street Convoss
Friday. Saturday

Ordered by national headquar-
tiers 10 complete the local drive for
Greek War Relief funds within the
ensuing two weeks. the Tacoma
general committee is appealing TO
all citizens who feel they can aid
10 make contributions as soon as
possible.
Subscriptions will be accepted at
downtown banks or can be mailed
to P. o. Box 43e. according to
Chairman Nicholas vitos. More
than half of the $40 900 quota still
remains TO be raised. Already Ia
coma has forwarded So, 500 to New
York City headquarters. and IL is
hoped to send similar check later
this week.
To arouse general public inter-
est. authorized solicitors from the
Greek-American colony here will
sell tags on the streets Friday and
Saturday Of this week. Permission
TO hold the tag sale has been
granted by the city council.
The canvass among business
establishments will be continued
throughout the week. In connec-
tion with this phase OF the drive,
Louis H. Burnett. member of
Taeoma's honorary committee. has
offered the following suggestion:
I think II would be a very fine
idea IL employees of local business
houses. as well as their employers,
be permitted TO participate volun-
tarily in the campaign. or encour-
aged TO form groups and pool their
contributions. Even II each person
gives only quarter or fifty cents
tidy total can be built up through
this democratic method. And
am sure no one will deny that
Greece is bravely fighting battle
for democracy against odds.
Let us not forget Greece is g
small country. limited in re-
sources. There is desperate need
of money for relief work. AL
Americans applaud the heroic
stand the Greeks are putting up ir
face Of ruthless aggression. We
should everyone do our part tc
assist, no matter in how small g
way. to achieve the quota set fol
