§ 1 PT Eye = VEN WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 14; 1920 'BUNDLE DAY" IS SET FOR THURSDAY, AUG.25 Chicago and Suburbs To Be Can- vassed On that Day in Interest of Suffering Armenians August 25 is to be "Bundle Day" in Chicago and suburbs to provide clothing for the suffering orphans and women in Armenia, where the people shiver six months in the year. There are thousands of poor, ragged and almost naked refugees in the Near East, and a special appeal is being made by the Near East Relief to the people of Chicago to send either new or used clothing to 15 North Franklin street, Chicago, on "Bundle Day" that these homeless people may not suffer this winter. P. J. Byrne, state secretary for the Near East Relief in Illinois, in an- nouncing "Bundle Day", enumerated the following articles as those most needed by the hungry, homeless Ar- menians: coats, dresses, sweaters, skirts, blankets, petticoats, over- coats, woolen shirts, woolen scarfs, heavy hose, heavy underwear, heavy wrappers, woolen gloves and mittens, boots and shoes, felt slippers and children's clothes of every sort. Laundries Co-operate The Chicago Laundry Owner's association is co-operating to make «Bundle Day" a success. All its members have agreed to send out with every bundle containing a special appeal for clothes for the suffering women and children in the Near East. Secretary Byrne of the Near East Relief, in his appeal, points to the fact that the cost and trouble of giving this aid will be slight, as the clothing may be sent by parcel post. Miss Gertrude Pearson, North Grove street, Chicago, who recently returned from the Near East, where she was a relief worker in one of the orphanages, saw women and girls of delicate breeding in the scantiest of clothing, many of them in rags. She declar- ed that the poor and formerly well to do in Armenia will have no cloth- ing this winter, unless the American people come to the rescue with what they can spare. Speaking of the sufferings she witnessed while a re- lief worker, Miss Pearson said: Without Clothing "In the fields I saw men, women and children running naked; those in the cities were huddled together in the remains of ruined buildings in filthy rags; there were no liveable houses; there was no food except what was furnished by the Near East Relief. Many of the people were numbed with suffering. The children were half dead with hunger. In one room, where 500 of them were hud- dled together, I saw a tittle girl whose body and face were swollen beyond human semblance through starvation. The winters in Armenia are a rigorous as in our own Rockies. Surely the American peo- ple will not permit these suffering Christians to suffer when the cloth- ing they can spare will keep these poor women and children warm. --en THE COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER Nearly all the big newspapers have space regularly devoted to jests on the village newspapers. Perhaps to city readers it matters little whether Tom Jones visited Dave Smith and his wife last Sunday--or whether Tim Howe built a new barn--and perhaps Tim Howe's barn is not as imposing as some of the big struc- tures in the big cities, but all the same, these little personal mentions tell a story of vital interest to the community. People in the country are interested in each other's doings, and the peo- ple mentioned as a rule are of the substantial class, but very few of them have their names in the news- papers in connection with scandal or divorce. But to one who does not know country life these personal mentions sound funny. These country papers must be true to country life, of which they are an important part, if they are to live and do work of the highest value. Their continued effort in behalf of community betterment is of more worth to the nation than all the efforts of the big city papers that are devoted to the building up of great cities. Some has said, "God made the country and man made the town." and if that be true. then God must certainly look kindly on the country papers which are devoted to the work of community betterment in the country and the small towns. --News, Ellsworth, Minn.

A Bit of News and Touch of Sentiment Anna Fecher Submits Newspaper "Copy" Worthy of Persons Con- siderably Her Senior Anna Fecher, whose home it at 416 Ridge avenue, Wilmette, and who is a l4-year-old school girl, is the au- thor of the accompanying interesting bit of news and attached sentiment. She gets a "by-line." Title--"Our Field Nurse on a Va- cation." By Anna Fecher Miss Cora Queen, the nurse of the Babies Health Center of Gross Point is spending a two-weeks' vacation in Chicago with her sister, Mrs. Wor- cester. Please let me ask if anyone in Wil- mette is not yet acquainted with the Gross Point Health Center, for if there should happen to be, I advise you to lose no time in getting ac- quainted with it. The nurse, Miss Queen, is certainly a person of in- telligence. She takes a great interest in all the people of the community; she makes no exceptions and is es- pecially interested in babies and school children. She is also in charge of Health Crusading work of which N. J. FELLOWS REGISTERED OPTICIAN Eyes Tested. Frames Fitted Lenses Duplicated Frames Repaired Phone Winnetka 85 Prouty Bldg. | | | 0. K.
