Services For China's
Orphans

Help in restoration of China's bomb
ed-out educational facilities and tenn
porary care for China's millions of
orphans are vital humanitarian SER
vices which must continue to depend
upon the contributions of Americans,
according to a statement by DR..
James L. McConaughy, president of
United China Relief, relayed to Mr..
Sidney Whitaker, member of the
Executive Committee Of the Hamil-
ton Community War Chest, by the
National War Fund.
The statement was issued in connec-
tion with the forthcoming observance
of China Friendship Day, Wednesday,
October 10, the 34th anniversary of
the Republic of China, said the report
at is still our job to help feed and
clothe the war orphans, to create
homes and schools for them, and, in
many cases, to transport them to their
native cities and restore them to
friendly hands," said DR.. McConaughy'
statement. Of equal Importance is the
stupendous job of returning the edu-
cational machinery from it's refugee
mud hut status in the hinterlands
and re-establishing it in the population
centers, the statement pointed out.
eff we do all we can to help China
get back on it's feet, our fidelity to
this ally will certainly pay huge div
idends toward the welfare of US all
Peace and prosperity in Asia with
China as the hub will go far to IN
sure the same blessings for America,
said the statement, adding the BE
cause of our sympathy and help IN
the past, it is plain fact that hun
dreds of millions of Chinese are more
kindly disposed toward us than to-
ward any other people of earth
The work of United China Relief Is
supported by the National War Funo
through contributions to the Hamll-
ton and Butler County Community
War Chest, Mr. Whitaker explained.

 Local residents were shocked by the news of the death of President Roosevelt, yester day afternoon. Many likened the present situation to that at the close of the Civil War when President Lincoln was asSassinated. The country was faced with great problem then and is faced with similar one now. All expressed sorrow at the occurrence and there were many discussions concerning what would be likely to occur in the near future. Lincoln died after the great war that he had prosecuted had been brought to a successful conclusion and the period of reconstruction was about to begin. President Roosevelt died on the eve of what we hope is the end of this terrible war His guidance will be missed in the period immediately following the close of the war.
