Dr. Lincoln Thanks
Citizens for Giving
Red Cross Relief
As chairman of the Polk County
Chapter of the American Red
Gross let me 'express the deep
appreciation of the Chapter for
the spontaneous and most generous
response of all sections and both
races of Polk county to the need
of money, warm clothing, blank
ets and food for the relief of flood
sufferers along the Ohio river. A
multitude of seemingly small gifts,
many of which were large as com
pared with the financial ability of
the donors, added to larger gifts
have made it possible for ua to
forward to the National Head
quarters for immediate use in the
greatly distressed areas the sum
of $1,612.43 to date. This is eight
times as large as the first quota
assigned to Polk county. Every
penny of it is needed and is being
uesd to relieve acut? human misery.
While the gratitude of the people
aided by the generosity of Polk
county can never be expressed to
us, we experience nevertheless the
rich reward of those who give
without any expectation of being
thanked. The Polk County Chapter
is very proud of the fine, sympa
thetic and generous concern of our
citizens and visitors over the des
perate plight of fellow citizens in
other states. They have respond
ed not only with money but also
with large gifts of food, clothing
and wool blankets.
C. Arthur Lincoln,
* Chairman.
