PICKLE NAVY RELIEF SOCIETY URGES PUBLIC SUPPORT Lieutenant Stanley Jones, Officer in-Charge of Navy Recruiting for this territory, brings to the attention of the citizens of Georgia a most commendable activity -which has na tion-wide attention since the decla ration of war. A campaign to raise funds for the Navy Relief Society to meet ever increasing needs caused by the war has been launched by Ensign Harry M. McAllister of the Macon Navy Recruiting Station. The drive will ■be .part of a nation-wide effort to raise five million dollars to care for ■wives, widows and dependents of Navy men. The campaign is in the nature of a direct appeal to the public to make donations. Heretofore, the So ciety has raised its funds from with in the Navy itself, but the demands now made upon the Society with war causing steadily increasing cas ualties are too much and help must come from the public. Donations will be gladly received by Ensign McAllister or Lieutenant Jones in the Post Office Bldg.. Macon, Ga. The primary purpose of the Navy Relief Society is to provide assist ance to widows and orphans of deceased Navy and Marine Corps personnel. Such aid is in the form of outright gifts and not on the loan basis. The secondary purpose of the Navy Relief Society is to extend assistance to men on active duty in cases of unforeseen emergencies involving their families. This aid is extended on the loan basis. Free milk, clothing, and oth er assistance is given Navy families; when circumstances such as prolong ed illness, accidents, deaths, etc., oc cur to members of the immediate family. •Georgia is very much represented in the Navy as evidenced in one way by the unusually large number of men who have enlisted and are en listing every day at the Navy Re cruiting Stations throughout the State. The tremendous burden placed on the Society by the disaster at Pearl Harbor makes it essential for the future of the Society that the public response be generous. Help ing Navy personnel is helping our own Georgia boys. Mail dontions today. MRS.
