for near EAST relief
Bundle week will be observed si
multaneously next week in four
places in Madison County when Club
Women and Church workers of Co
mer, Dan •-•lsv.ile, Ha and Colbert
w il' co-operate in an intensive drive
to steure old clothes to alliterate re
ported distressing conditions among
refugee.- and children in American
orphanages of the Near East.
Mrs. Jewell Bond Murray of Dan
jdsville ha: assum.-d chairmanship
of the drive ar.d has enlisted the aid
of workers in each c ; ' the four towns.
The slogan of the drive will be,
"Five pounds of clothes from cve'y
home in the four places,” and those
on the committee are very enthusias
tic over the prospect of reaching this
objective.
Bundle weeks have been conducted
in the past in various parts of the
state, but the present needs of the
refugees in the Bible lands are the
greatest since the world war is the
information recei v, *d from the state
offices of the Near Ea.it Relief in
Atlanta, which organization charters
by Congress is now doing the relief
work in the Near East. Professor
Paul Monroe of Columbia University
and world traveler, in cablegram to
the National Headquarters of the
Near East Relief, Tuesday, a copy
ef white was received m the Georgia
State office, declare', distressing con
(htiens now exist among the refugees
in the Near East, ar.d that scores of
thousands, mostly women and cl.it
dren, are undernourished, housed
in indwirable crowded, unsanitary
bairrc!:','levels and shacks. Or.e
1 ‘-he greatest i ..edv besides actual
tnds o take car o of the refugees
and orphan children, declares the of
ficials of the Naer East Relief, is the
need of doilies'. Any kind of gar
ments are wanted.
i P 1 ’ ' vc nen who w ill conduct the
dnve in this county urge the citizens

dd ov.jjcoats, suits, woolen glcves,
