Fasting Plan Aids Knoxville Needy In Wintry Relief
A citywide day of fasting in Knoxville Tennessee may feed about 4000 needy families this winter. The Knoxville Journal proposed the plan, which raised about $8000 in food and cash turned to the community chest for distribution by Associated Charities Red Cross and Salvation Army. Mayor John T. O Connor issued the proclamation, and 80 citizens participated by fasting or donating cash equal to food costs. Relief leaders may adopt the plan monthly, with all contributions going to the needy and no overhead.
