From the reaches /-of the swoiuto Mississippi and its raging tributaries comes' an appeal for clothing for the flood sufferers. f Thousands of persons are without homes, food aiid clothing. Alen, women i and children, made destitute by the greatest flood disaster in American j history, are fighting usail>st hunger, j nakedness and diseases,-living in hov-; els, box-cars and other temporary Gone are their farms, their live stock. their business enterprises of various kiud. They are storm dere licts. lighting against great odds and dependent solely upon the generosity of the richest people in the world. Cabarrus people have been, generous in their cash donations and now they (arc to be giveD an opportunity to jive clothing that the soiled, and water-soaked garments of the flood might be changed for clean, warm clothing. Mrs. John A. Porter, president of the American Legion Auxiliary, has received a call for clothiug from the State Auxiliary, and she is asking other agencies aud individuals ia Con cord to make it possible for her to .meet the call with the needed gar tnents. Iu n statement issued today Alys. [Porter asked that every organization in t’oncord send representatives to a meeting to be held Thursday night ft the Legion club ropm on Barbriek street, so that at this meeting plans for the clothing drive may be mapped pat. "The Auxiliary eaa’t handle this matter alone as it should be handled,” Airs, l’orter said. “And 1 ask that ev ery other organization in Concord be represented at the meeting Thursday night. “The meeting will begin at 8 o'clock and I hope every agency of good in flic city will be represented so we can collect the clothing ami get it scat as early us possible." In connection with the meeting Airs, l’orter made public the following ap peal from Mrs. John T. I.owe, presi dent of the North Carolina depart ment of the Legion Auxiliary: “Do you realize that thousands of our t'x-service men nnd their depend ents are numbered among the 200.000 homeless refugees of the flood report ed today? Many families are sep arated! The tragic aftermath-of the Hood grows more serious eaeh day; the climax has not been reached. “Our wonderful women of the Aux iliary, in the stricken areas'are work ing night aud day to alleviate the suffering caused by disease, hunger 'ami ex|K>sure. Since most of the, refugees are without adequate food and clothing, let us assist the over burdened department by creating, im yaedintely. unit supply shelves stocked with clothing and bedding. A wire has been sent to the presidents of the stricken departments pledging finan cial aid from the nationnl rehabilita tion fund and clothing from the units jd the national organization. Will Vsu hell) keep that pledge? The lia it jnul fund is not large, hence it will not be enough, for, from it we can give only supplementary aid for the parehase of food. Mrs. Julienne, de partment president of Alissisxippi, lias wired that the Auxiliary is operating six canteens for the sufferers, clothing and food )ire badly needed' All or ganizations are co-operating to nl teviate immediate needs. Express com panies and railroads are transporting supplies for the sufferers free of charge.
