mmrm . FOR REFUGEES Massachusetts Farmer Plans to Help Raise More Food In Place of Charity ‘The Near East Relief has received a gift of $7000 a year to assist in a fiveâ€"year demonstration of practical agriculture in Greece. > ‘The gift will supplement the work already begun by the American orâ€" ganization at its demonstration farm on the isiand "of Syra, which is in charge of Frederick Midgeley of Worâ€" cester, Mass., a retired New England farmer who made a fortune in celery on his Massachusetts farm. Mr. Midgeley arrived in Greece three months ago, bringing with him a truck load of seed, a head full of common sense, and a life full of exâ€" pense,"~ says ;r. Midgeley. W same amount of money eimployed in a demonstration farm will assist perâ€" sons in distress to find work, and soon they can be producing food for themâ€" sgelves. In some cases relief must concern itself with immediate necesâ€" sities, and there is no course possible save to send food and clothing. Buildâ€" ing for the future, however, the founding of selfâ€"sustaining communiâ€" ties is the important matter. . This is what the demonstration farm hopes to accomplish." perience, and his expenses are being | met by funds which otherwise would | have been used to send foodtonk! refugees. He expects to grow the first j year about five times as much foodi «s could have been purchased with the same amount of money. \| W‘V‘l'i;ncy â€"spent for food is soon gone and there is little to show Seostheâ€"y SWIMS CHANNEL IN INDOOR POOL RACE So far as is known, Winston Wadâ€" dell, & 21â€"yearâ€"old Brooklyn plumber, is the first man to swim the English Channel in an indoor pool. Enjoying all the thrills except the grease and fog, he covered the twentyâ€"one miles in 11 hours 47 minutes swimming time, during eight swimming periods in the Central Y. M. C. A. pool, Brooklyn, N. Y., and dropped nine pounds en route. Waddell‘s record later was broken by Howard Hanson, Swedish natator of Bay Ridge, who covered the disâ€" tance in 10 hours and 5 minutes, and thus won the Walter Spence medal for the best performance by a memâ€" ber of the Central Swimming club.
