The survey which was made last
week by representative# of the Stone-
•.villi County Chapter of the Red Cross
unfolded an almost unbelievable situ-
ation of distress am! suffering among
drought stricken families i)i every
section of this county. Bu n en cup-
boards, empty bread boxes and bare-
foot, scantily clad children found m
homes of destitute farmers awakened
l-uiicf workers to the acutencss of the
situation and to the need of emergen-
cy relief.
An appeal by county chairman, C.
L>. Stumcy, to the National Rid Crom>
headquarters for additional funds to
supplement the $1,000 already pro-
vided for human relief, brought a
.iew grant of $2,000. Sectional rep-
resentatives and county officers have
been working night and day to pro-
due food and clothing to farmers,
their wives, sons and daughters. Last
week, farmers at Swenson, Old Glo-
ry, Aspermont arid Peacock were giv-
en orders for a month's supply of
j roceries for their families. Mon-
day, at Old Glory, a tight-land sec-'
tion where crops have failed for
consecutive years, a long line of farm
ers - kI during the greater part of
the / awaiting Ued Cross aid.
They were fed at the noon hour wit!)
barbecue, onions, pickles, bread and
coffee donated by a local citizen. A-
bout 25 ex-soldiers headed the bread
line estimated at 300 persons. U<-v.
J. H. Sharp and Rev. C. A. Baidiin of
Aspermont, disbursing agents, ad-
dressed the gathering.
Next week's meeting date of the
Aspermont Luncheon Club has he"-.i
changed from Tuesday noon to Tues-
day evening, when the Club members
Will be hosts to the Hamlin's Club. A
program wil be offered by the visitors
as a part of the evening's entertain-
ment.
Dr. and Mrs. A. A. Annis returned
Monday from Dallas where they
have been the past week attend ing
the bedside of their son-in-law, Rev.
Durham, who has been critically ill
of pneumonia. At the time of their
departure, Rev. Durham's condition
showed marked improvement, but he'
became gravely ill again Tuesday,'
and Dr. and Mrs. Annis were called

Red Cross Drought Relief Appeal:
There seems to be in the minds of
many of our citizens a false impres-
sion, as to the purpose of the "Rod
Cross Drought Relief", as same ap-
plie- to financial aid. We feel sure
that thu idea, in a measure, have
been confuted with the (Jovommcnt
Loan Aid. They are each a separate
and individual proposition; one pur-
P'.v to relieve the present suffering
hvnuoaiy, ;|, j,;up>to
assist in financing the drought strick-
en areas from a commercial land-
point.
There are a number of applications
which h:.vo boor. ,ua ' '.o our com-
mittee for "Red Cross Aid," that was
made by people who are not actually
on suffera.no, and should have oeen
ro orved for Government Loan Aid-
i and a r !hereb\ not Bed Cross Liabil-
i . .
tin
We espi-i '.ally appeal to you who
arc in a position to care for your-
selves, thoiifh it be in that manner
Its;■ ■ to -,!! liking, that you with
h.ihl ajip lent ion fur lied Cross Aid,
-i J>. -. , -is our pi.y.Meal health will
mjt Wi- ..-;ve a limited amount of
funds :;IH<>*ed t ■ t!<ii county, and you
who arc • .t in an actual needy state,
in our ulloitment contribute to
■ jff ri:ii- of your neigh-
i-. not ii fortunate as y.'U.
V e call upon every man, woman,
ehihl in Stonewall County to as-
'.i -i iim in -"eing that th"se funds be
expended where it shall secure the
greatest relief to suffering humanity
Respectfully your« to sen#
Red Cross Committer*.
