Drive Launched
For Navy Relief;
Goal Is 100000
States Campaign
Opened at Meeting
Here; Chaplain Talks
BY DOROTHY WILLIAMS

For the first time since the
wars inception Detroit and the
nation today are being asked to
contribute directly for their serv-
icemen.
The appeal comes from the Navy
Relief Society in the first request
for public help in the 122 years OF
the organizations existence.
Pearl Harbor took greater toll
in navy casualties than all of the
first world war and Spanish
American War combined, campaign
sponsors explain, in asking S., 000.-
600 nationally. OF this total at
least 100000 must be raised in
Michigan.
To launch the drive some 200
volunteer solicitors met in the
Book Cadillac Hotel and heard
Capt. Frank II. Lash, chaplain of
the Great Lakes naval district, re-
count instances of the Navy Relief
Society's service.
IMPORTANCE STRESSED
Begun in 1920 when a seaman
passed the hat TO get help for an
unfortunate sailing mate, the Navy
Relief Society has been dedicated
to aiding the sailor and his family
in emergencies, Lash explained. He
continued:
within a few hours after
tragedy strikes, the Navy Relief
Society Ii available TO extend
help II needed.
I'VE have no salaried staff.
Work Is done by navy men and
their wives. We have no federal
grants, merely funds provided
by the navy men themselves.
"Our slogan always has been,
The Navy Takes Care of its
Own but the vast expansion Of
the navy today makes 1t neces-
sary for us to turn to the public.
"The amount of our relief
varies with the circumstances"
He stressed the importance of
giving the sea fighting forces the
assurance their loved ones at home
will be cared for in case they meet
disaster.
These men who are enlisting
are willing to pay the full price
OF American citizenship" Lash
continued. They know Ii Is
worth all that IL costs. We owe
them q reasonable freedom from
worry over those back home"
Honor guests at the luncheon
were Ferris Lucier. seaman from
the u. S. S. Langley who survived
the battle Of Java, and Charles
William Van Der Heide of the u
S. S. Oklahoma, who saw service
at Pearl Harbor.
