Relief volunteers sought for Chelsea disaster aid effort
The Massachusetts Chelsea relief committee issued an urgent call for volunteers to aid in ration distribution and general relief work. Fatigued workers and others returning to jobs threaten the operation as more than half the funds already spent. Daily rations reach three thousand, with ongoing need to rebuild homes, care for the sick, and support destitute residents while employment remains scarce. Donations rose to 314 131.47 with larger gifts from Armory Athletic Association and The G W Armstrong Dining News Company among others.
