Boost and Help Speed Up Henderson County's $2,000,000.00 Building Program for 19221 tf'ljr dfife o PUBLISHED TUESDAY AND FRIDAY VOLUME xxvin HENDERS ON VILLE, N. C., TUESDAY, JANUARY 31, 1922 NUMBER 83 JEWISH RELIEF MEETING TONIGHT MASS MEETING TO BE HELD AT CITY HALL Local Organization For Raisin? of City's Quota of $1,200 to Be Made Tonight. At the mass meeting which has been called by the proclamation of Mayor Rhodes for tonight at the city hllf in the interest of the suffering Jews of Europe, a chairman and com mittees will be appointed and ways and means discussed looking toward rais ing Hendersonville's quota of $1,200. The meeting will probably be opened by Mayor Rhodes. Many citizens of the city, including the ministers, have signified their intention of attending the meeting tonight. That the Jewish Relief movement is gaining impetus in the state is il lustrated in a letter received by A. Kantrowitz from Lionel Weil, Golds boro, state chairman of the campaign, in which the following statement is made: "Ten days prior to the appeal of February 6, following collections reported Salisbury, whose quota is $3,000, has already raised $1,725; Wilson, with a $3,000 quota, has rais ed $1,700; Goldsboro, whose quota is $10,000, has raised $3,900." The state organization was effect ed and the quotas were fixed at the North Carolina State Conference, held at Raleigh January 11, attended by a large delegation of the most prominent Jews in the state. By vote of this conference the date for the appeal for the North Carolina quota of $100,000 was set for the week be ginning Monday, February 6, and end ing Sunday, February 12. Shortly fol lowing the Raleigh meeting a procla mation was made by the Governor of the state, setting aside the above date as Jewish Relief Week and urging the people to contribute liberally to this most needy cause. Extracts from the address of Dr. E., N. Calisch, who spoke at the Ral eigh conference of the condition in Europe calling forv this service are given below: "Picture to yourselves," he said, "the devastated areas through which armies have fought and refought leav ing ruins and desolation. You must try to picture a country where there is suffering almost beyond descrip tion, a country in which facilities for sanitation are very few. There are right now over 300,000 war orphans innocent and helpless victims in Central and Eastern Europe. Shall they become wandering derelicts, mentally dwarfed, physically crip pled, morally perverted, strangers to their faith, outcasts in a world steeped with turmoil? I am here re minded of the very touching tribute paid Marshal Foch of France, upon his visit to New York, by the parade of ten thousand school children in honor of that great hero. It took those 10,000 school children exactly two hours to pass the reviewing stand. How long do you think it would take mr own 300,000 poor, weak, emaciated and physically stunted war orphans to have passed in array before the great Marshal, dragging their weary limbs, suffering well nigh unto death? 3Iow long, I ask you? Very probably, that parade would never have been terminated. These children are cry ing, begging for a crumb. You can not resist them. You will not deny them, even in sacrifice to yourselves." Providing protection, food, clothing, and shelter for these 300,000 war or phans, the problem of helping 400, 000 refugees who have fled from the Ukraine and from other pogrom-lands, establishing a system of credit loans which will enable the small merchant and manufacturer to resume business again, in order that he may gain his self respect, and assisting the Jews of Soviet Russia these constitute the four-fold aim of the American Jewish Relief Committee, as outlined by David A. Brown, Chairman of the National Appeal, in his explanation as to why America is being appealed to to raise $14,000,000. C03IMITTEE RAISES $500 TOWARD BUYING FORD COUPE FOR NURSE The committee appointed to raise sufficient money by public contribu tion to purchase a Ford coupe for the county nurse to come here soon re ports that the sum of $555 has been raised. The American Legion head ed the list with $100, and about seventy-five of the leading citizens of the city contributed the remainder. The physicians and druggists were par ticularly liberal in contributing. The committee " requests that any others who wish to help swell the sum to the necessary purchase price of a Ford coupe and extra tire, send their contributions to Hesterly Stepp, treasurer of the local American Red Cross chapter. The committee, composed of A. W. Honey cutt, Lee Whitmire, and Miss Ruth Crenshaw, field representative of the American Red Cross, was tip pointed at the mass meeting held last Tuesday, which decided to employ a full-time health nurse for Hender son county. Miss Crenshaw volun teered to remain long enough in the county to help raise funds necessary for the purchase of a car for thrj use of the nurse. Truck Crashed Into Ford Coupe Saturday A near-serious automobile accident occurred on the corner of Main and Third avenue, east, Saturday, when a truck driven by Robert Levi for Byers Bros, ran into a Ford coupe driven by Dr. A. B. Drafts, the light er car being shoved out of its course to the sidewalk directly in front of the firm of the Hendersonville Plumb ing Company. Neither driver was injured, but a wheel and axle of the coupe were badly damaged. Dr. Drafts had practically rounded the corner, having entered Main from Third avenue, east, when the truck, whose speed did not slacken, crashed into his car.
