Paul, chairman of Wake County Chapter, American Red Cross, that developments in dicate the Chilean earthquake to be one of the world’s worst dis asters, killing over 10,000 persons, injuring untold thousands, and leaving hundreds of thousands homeless. Chairman Paul pointed out that because of the urgency of imme diate action, President Eisenhow er had requested similar meetings to be held throughout the U.

Cash is now ur gently needed for food, medicine and other emergency iteirtk. A statement released by Zebu lon Mayor Ed Hales to The Zebu lon Record immediately after the Raleigh meeting follows: “We are appalled at the disas ter that has struck the friendly, hard-working people of Chile. News reports indicate that earth quakes, tidal waves, avalanches and volcanic eruptions have brought death to thousands, ex tremely serious personal casualties and heavy material damage that will take years to overcome. It is now winter in Chile. The dis aster area is one of heavy rain fall. Hence, the extent of per sonal suffering being experienced by Chileans is almost beyond com prehension. “I urge all our people promptly to demonstrate once again the great generosity so characteristic of them. It would certainly be an act of good will on our part in these times of Communistic aggres sion if we assist the government of Chile and the Chilean people in this catastrophe. “Please send cash contributions to the Chilean Relief Fund, Zebu Ion Municipal Building. I feel confident that the good people of this community will respond gen erously to President Eisenhower’s request for immediate monetary aid to Chile through voluntary con tributions.” Mayor Hales also urged minis ters, civic clubs, presidents and secretaries of other organizations to ask their organizations for voluntary contributions at their regular meetings.
