16 BELIEVE LOCAL MAN IN TURKEY SAFE AND WELL Washington Dispatches Allay Fear Felt For Safety of J. .Lewis Heck Dispatches from Washington this morning relieve the fear of friends of J. Lewis Heck, Jr., of Heckton, for his safety in Constantinople. All but fifteen of the 164 miasion- HTles working under American Boards In Turkey are citizens of the United States, and it is now necessary for the State Department to negotiate for their release through the Swedish government. It Is believed the Turk ish government will not obstruct the departure of the Americans. Mr. Heck, who is secretary to the American Ambassador, Abram I. Elk us. of New York, is an alumnus of Lehigh University, and has been In' Turkey for about six years. He now Holds the highest rank for his age of any official of the United States in the foreign service. Writing to his father, J. Lewis Heck, of Heckton, March 20, Mr. Heck said: "All well and safe." This morn ing a, friend in town had a letter from Mrs. Heck, who spent a year here with her small daughter, joining her husband in Constantinople last Octo ber. Mrs. Heck tells of the serious )llness of the American Ambassador With typhus fever and saya: "No mat ter what occurs, we must remain with Mr. Elkus until he is able to be re moved." SAFETY BODY STARTS WORK [Continued From First Page.] proceedings. Spencer C. Gilbert, a resident member of the State Com mission appointed by Governor Brum baugh, presided during the prelimi naries, and set forth clearly the vari ous steps that have already been taken by George W. Pepper, the gen eral chairman, and those associated with him. So far as possible the work of the various local committees will be outlined by the general com mittee at Philadelphia and In this way there will be effective co-ordina tion of the important matters to be worked out for the benefit of the State and the nation. Other members of the General Com mittee present were: William Jen nings, who was subsequently elected chairman of the local committee; Charles H. Bergner, E. J. Stackpole, James M. Cameron, Vance C. McCor mick and W. M. Donaldson. There was also a good attendance of the members of the local commit tee appointed by the Governor. Seeds Will Be Supplied After some general discussion as to the expansion of the local committee Chairman Jennings was authorized to appoint such subcommittees as he may find necessary for the prosecu tion of the work from time to time. It was developed during the meet ing that arrangements are being made at the general headguarters at Philadelphia for procuring seeds and other materials for the general plant ing program which is being arranged. Owing to the large scope of the work to be done there has necessarily been lome delay in the organization of the local bodies, but every precaution has been taken to avoid overlapping and waste effort. 1 Will Name Executive Secretary An executive secretary in charge of the local work will be appointed ■oon and through his office the work of the various subordinate organiza tions will be co-ordinated in the in terest of effective co-operation. Sec retary Brandt will Immediately re port the organization of the local committee to the headquarters at Philadelphia. To Help Deatltute Kamllir* Mrs. Lyman D. Gilbert, who has been doing admirable work as head of the Harrisburg Chapter of the Red Cross, states that a committee had been appointed by that organization for the care of those who will need help when breadwinners shall have gone to the front. It was also ex plained that the women will probably have to take the places of many men In those fields of endeavor for which they are qualified. In the Depart ment of Civic Relief there will be in vestigation of all cases in which hardship results from the enlistment of the chief wage-earner of the fam ily. This committee will also have charge of the investigation of all other social or economic consequences of war conditions, especially with ref erence to moral problems incident to the location of camps or bodies of troops in the committee's territory. For the present the activities will be limited to an investigation and local etudy of these problems. Plan Form Surve~ Every effort will be made through the local committee to minimize the Sanger of food shortage. There will first be a survey of agriculture and labor conditions in this territory with the hope of increasing cultivated ftreas during the season. Where seed potatoes and other im portant products are being withheld from use to secure unreasonable high prices public opinion will be directed to the fact and an effort made to theck such an unpatriotic tendency. Already the local order of the Red Dross has secured pledges from the ewners of automobiles for the use of their machines In case of emergency. It is probable also that the local com tnittee and its subcommittees will lake part in urging enlistment and in luch other service of this character as may be necessary. The Legislature is now authorizing n appropriation of $2,000,000 for the national defense activities of the Albert Shenk, Hershey; Quincy Bent, Commonwealth and from this appro priation will be paid the cost of mak ing an Industrial survey and cen us. Lycoming county has prepared a father comprehensive and practical blan of operation, which Includes a eommltttee on agriculture and food lupply, home gardening and canning, teneral crops and labor, cr.imal hus bandry and poultry and fruits and market gardening. In short, all who ►re interested in helping are urged to fet busy in raising food of all kinds. Officer* Elected These officers were elected: William Jennings, president; D.
