Wildwood Christian
Center Makes Appeal
For Flood Victims

The Wildwood Christian Center,
recently formed at the Little
Church in the Wildwood, Old
Georgetown Road, Bethesda, is
making an appeal for clothing,
food, and other articles, for the
victims of the recent floods in Vir-
ginia and West Virginia. The Cen
ter, which aims to help those in
need regardless of location, would
like individuals and organizations
to collect materials for this cause,
with collections to be made on July
18th and again on August 9Th.
Those in the vicinity of Rockville
wishing to help may contact Mrs.
Frank Beisser, 81 Viers Mill
Road, Rockville.
The plight of the flood victims
was emphasized in a letter to Mrs.
Raymond Kuster of Rockville,
written by her sister who lives in
the flooded area. She tells especial
ly of the little village of Bridge
water, about the size of Rockville,
where four people lost their lives
in the flood few weeks ago. Zone
mother and two little girls were
drowned = 13-year-old sister
saved when washed into a tree 10
which she chung from 3 am. to
daybreak. The mother was found
miles and miles away from her
home. The surviving girl tells of
their hearing the waters roar from
the banks of dry river at about
1880 am. The mother got up,
dressed the children, locked the
windows and doors and they sat
quietly in the bedroom when about
am. the water rushed through
the doors and windows-the house
began to break up and the last she
saw of her mother and sisters they
were crying and holding to one
another and then were carried
away by the water" The letter goes
on = "Not a semblance of the
home is left = here and there you
see heap of things piled in muck
and mud. | saw some bureau draw
ers broken some with a few chill
dren's clothes still in them-the
tin roof crumbled - could go on
and on telling the horrors of that
night. One little village near the
mountainside contained "a houses
= 20 were washed away, but the
people were saved. All they own
S gone = cows, chickens, gardens,
,lothes."
Mrs. Kuster's sister continued:
so many are homeless - if you
have any clothes for children,
mothers, boys and men - anything
= get the people out there to get
together some things and we will
send for them"

Letter To The Editor
Mr.. Editor:

May I, through the columns OF
your valuable paper, as a citizen
and pioneer educator of the State
of Florida, extend a personal vote of
confidence to DR.. William II. Gray
who has recently resigned his post
as President of our Florida A. ana
M. College.
1t pains me beyond expression to
note the reasons as given by his
accusers, and the manner in which
his resignation was, given. In my
humble opinion, DR.. William II
Gray has done an usual, outstanding
job in the promotion of the program
of education for the Florida A and
M. College and the State of Florida
at large. In spite of the charges that
have been publicized against him, ]
am yet to see the reasons for the
manner in which he has been treat
ed remembering that none of us are
perfect) and it seems to me that this
act is not only a reflection upon
William H. Gray but upon all of us
who are giving our strength and
leadership to promote the educa-
tional program of our state. To try
to kill leaders in a day like this is
a dangerous thing.
want, again, Mr.. Editor, to have
the people of Florida and the people
of the nation, the Governor of Flori-
da and the Board of Control of Flori-
da, to know that William H. Gray
has my vote of confidence in the
work that he has done. / can only
say for DR.. Gray in the words of a
great General when he said, II am
wounded, but l am not dead; will
lay down and rest awhile and then
/ will rise and fight again
We are with you. Gray.
