One hundred thousand Belgian children are looking to
Philadelphia for food.
We have promised them extra daily rations for the next
six months. And they are waiting trustfully -hopefully
for us to fulfill our word. They will not cannot be dis
appointed. : All Philadelphia is co-operating to relieve the desperate
plight of these little unfortunates.
Over 500 "Ration Clubs" have eagerly entered the work;
They have been organized in weaving mills, girls' schools,
newspaper offices, real estate offices, automobile agencies,
shoe factories, paint factories, churches, Sunday schools;
hardware stores,' coal offices, Y. M. C. A.'s, bond houses,
tobacco factories, glass factories, insurance offices, lumber
houses, leather factories, drug stores, trust companies,
department stores, banks, steel plants, hotels many in
families.
Each club is providing extra daily rations for a number
of children giving a dollar a month for each child.
The Chamber of Commerce is actively working with the
Philadelphia Committee in charge of the relief work, as are
physicians, lawyers and professional men in all walks of life;
Clubs and organizations of all kinds are enthusiastically
engaged in this wonderful task' of humanity.
