cert for the War Relief Fund of
Americans of South Slavic De-
scent, at the Slovene National
Home on st. Clair Avenue, to-
morrow, Sunday, November / 9th
at 8 80 in the afternoon.
The United Committee of
which Sane is a part, has been
licensed by the y. S. government
as official collector and distri-
butor of war relief to the Yugo-
slav people in Europe.
Many of you have read the ar
ticle about the Partisans in the
Life magazine last week and
realized the great need for ade-
quate medical supplies, and also
the Press article of a few days
ago by Lieut.. Dobrski which also
indicated the lack of vital medi-
cal care in Yugoslavia. The
wounded American boys were
finally relieved of their suffer
ing at their own bases, after
endlesshours of .torturous travel
ing-but the Yugoslav wounded
had to take care of themselves
as best they could, and their
share of vital supplies certainly
seemed less than nothing.
We must also take into &C.
count the thousands Of refugees,
whose homes were destroyed
and possessions confiscated, and
other thousands hiding in the
woods, fighting, and waiting
anxiously for the day Of liberia
ton. And those still in their
homes, how much food do thew
have left, how much clothing?
To give immediate aid to these
people, a ship loaded at an
American port will soon sail for
Yugoslavia, filled with vitality
needed medical supplies, also
with clothing which will be sc
necessary now that winter is
here, and too, with boxes of
food packed as Christmas pack.
ages. This is the reason why the
call for help to Yugoslaxia is sc
urgently stressed at this time
Other relief agencies are there
but it is impossible for them to
adequately fill the great need
Cleveland has the fresh mem
ory of it's great disaster, and
everyone is doing their share .tc
help someone who has been thru
that great agony. But alongside
Of this, Or it may be because OF
it, a great many Clevelanders
have also responded to the call
for help from across the sea
