Starving Greeks Need Ali lAd We Can Send The cburch bell clanged the "alert" 'in the tiny village of Issari, in the south of Axis-occu- pied Greece. But it was no air raid warning. It heralded food -food from Canada! And wher the International Red Cross dele- gate arrived atop the food cart ti supervise distribution, tottering bumans found strength to bear him aloft while the people cried "The miracle bas happened!" This eye-witness description of a starving Greek village and of the distribution of food providec by Canadians through contribou- tions to the Greek War Relie. Fund, bas reached the national executive of the Fund. It says: 'The villagers had been feed- ing on roots, acorns, leaves and herbs usually reserved for pigs. For three weeks and longer, the people had been asking them- selves: 'Will the food arrive?' Anguish reached its peak in livic and skeleton-like faces. At last, we hear that the food is coming. Faces ligbt up. Legs stiffen again. A young man climbs the steeple and sounds the alert for ail to hear. The public crier, half. starved and in rags and bare feet. makes the rounds sbouting: 'To. morrow, Friday, everyone at the Church of Saint Nicolas for the distribution of food!' "At last the day of Resurrec- tion arrives. A wave of human beings rolls towards the church. Men, women and cbildren al carry bags or baskets. The Valley of Saint Nicolas is overrun with fantastic-looking human beings who could no longer stand on their feet, and sprawled on the grass, their eyes fixed on the point where the food cart must àppear. Children who are strong enough clamber on to rocks, as signallers. Then a joyful voice'shouts: "Here tbey corne!" At once, the skele- tons are on their feet, hands in- stinctively make the sign of the Cross. The cart arrives bearing life for so many human beings. "Barely has the representative of the Red Cross set food on the ground than be is borne aloft, ac- claîmed by the starving people. 'The miracle bas happened'. The distribution begins at once and is over by the afternoon. Bake ovens are f ired. And along witb the smoke that rolîs beavenward go the good wisbes of those saved from certain death." To keep up this flow of food to the millions-of Greeks, the Greek War Relief Fund will appear to Canadians for $500,000 in a cam- paign, approved by the Dominion Government, to be beld June 7- 26. Ail monies collected will be spent on this side through the Canadian Red Cross; ail supplies will continue to be distributed in Greece through the International Red Cross. The Fund will rely on Canadians sending in their con- tributions. Ail subscriptions sbould be sent to the local headquarters, made up of Deputy-Reeve S. Little, chair- man, and Councillors William Harrison, Owen Nicholas and Jack Glanville, as well as Gus Annus and Louis Lescara, two Greek residents of the town or to either of the local banks.
