EDITOR STATESMAN APPEALS
FOR NEAR EAST
ORPHANS .'.,'.
FIVE DOLLARS SAVES ; A LIFE
Children Fed And Clothed' Whole
Month On This Amount
North Carolina Generoua '
With the Chrltmas iptrlt. pervading
the Old North State the North Caro
lina Division Near East Relief, h
JU3t sent to all prominent cltixena of
this county an appeal to remember the
orphans of Armenia, made homeless
and destitute through that martyr na
tion's refusal to renounce Christ and
all that he stood for and become Mo
hammedans. Josephus Daniels of Raleigh, former
Secretary of the Navy, has signed the
1921 Xmas appeal letter, which has the
endorsement of nearly every high gov
ernment and state official. Woodrow
Wilson and President Harding have
given their unqualified endorsement to
this great humanitarian work.
The North Carolina general assem
bly passed in both branches an en
dorsoment of the Near East Reliel
work and workers. Governor Cameron
Morrison has given the work an im
petus and Col. George H. Bellamy
United States Marshal for the Eastern
District of North Carolina, is -state
chairman. v . .- ;. ,.. ....
' Mr. Daniels' letter calling attention tc
the fact that every five dollars (io.OQX
given saves the life -of a child for j
month, follows: . 7 -. .: ' ;.;
. Ralelflh, Dee. 10, 192lt .
Dear Sir:
'A ' We are ail making , ready ..for'
- Christmas the season of the year .
when as at no other, the Child la
the center of the world's thought
and the world's love. Of course,
our first thought It of those In our '
. own home how to surprise them
into a .gladness that will bring Joy
to all about them.
And then, we will not forget. .
'those children who are. near us,
whose live may hot be ae crowded
with comforts. We cannot have .
the best relish for our Christmas
dinner unless we claim the prom
ise, "It Is more blessed to give
than to receive."
Who Is your neighbor? . That
question was put to us by th
Christ. For years some good peo
ple have been neighborly to the
children of Armenia, people of that
country separated only . a. short
distance from Bethlehem. With
the coming of war, the condition
of these Christian people, sur.
rounded by persecutors, has been
Intolerable. The United States
Government employed Vvarshipo
to carry them relief before and
after we entered the war. The
present year has brought little to
them and winter .finds them In
want.
Reliable .Americans Just re
turned from Armenia, tell of piti
able conditions. As the state,
mente of their sore need now have
become known, good men and
women In every state are planning
to send them Christmas gifts.
North Carolina has already given
help. Let us all Increase our help
to them so that we may gladden
their hearts thla Christmas. I am
writing you, knowing your tender
pity for those under privation and
persecution.
-You can feed one of these or
phans for five dollars ($5.00) a
month. Please send to Robert A.
Brown, 901 Citizens National Bank
.Building, .Raleigh, N. C, such con
trlbutlons aay6ur heart ! pro mpta.
t Sincerely. yours,
(Signed) JOSEPHUS DANIELS.
It is hoped that the coming year will
be the last one required to care for
the 550,000 refugees who are being fed
at the Near East Relief soup kitchens
In Armenia and Syria every day. The
Turks were just driven out of Armenia
lasj August but during their occupa
tion they have looted and destroyed
homes and made fields unproductive.
Heads of homes were in most tases
murdered, mothers of families out-

Sell Ringing- :
.; One of the Oldest ,
Christmas Customs'
HAT would Christmas be with
out the melody of the belli
ringing good will toward menl
Bell fringing Is one of the oldest of
Chrl8ttr.as customs. At one time, in
England, the ringers gave their serv
ices free, nor would they accept any
special payment. The peal was rung
as. a, matter of course, and was the
natural expression of English joyons-
uess. The merry music of the bells In
Great Britain and wherever churches
have peals of bells, Is today as much
a feature of Christmas as the decora
tion of church nnd honie With ever
greens, or the prevlslottsV th 4"Q0dJ
cheer which always marks this festive
season. - " . .'
What an outcry there would, be if
an edict were issued forbidding the
ringing of the bells during the coming
festive season ! Yet this was actually
done during the Commonwealth, for
in 1Co2 the wise men of parliament
gave orders that "no observation shall
be had of t,he five-and-twentleth day
of December, commonly called Christ
mas day."
It la qult certain that this edict
was disregarded In many places, while
In others H led to open rioting. At
Canterbury the mayor of the city tried
to enforce the new rale, but the people
were not going to be deprived of their
pleasures so easily, so they took the
law into their., own hands, broke the
mayor's windows nnd some of" his
nones as well and affirmed their In
tention of keeping their Christmas In
their own fashion, just as their fathers
homes, .and children turned out la the
streets to perish. . One hundred rod
ten thousand of them have been'xaken
into the 229 orphanages now being
maintained by the Near East Relief
in the Bible lands fjjsjin money 'do
nated iby generous hearted Americans
There are as many more children out
side the gates dying while they clamoi
for" admission' which Is denied them
because .'the lmsratlons r - already
taxed almost beyond their capacity.
