Relief Fund Drive Suppresses County Flood Aid Need
Four county churches will contribute to the Red Cross relief effort and fund raisers are set at the Van Wert community clearing house and the Van Wert National Bank with Clarence Kohn as treasurer. In a letter from James L Fieser vice chairman of the national Red Cross the flood crisis across the East is described as worsening with 270000 people in need and Pittsburgh feeding 50000 as relief teams are dispatched to multiple locations. The note urges redoubling efforts to meet the 3000000 dollar chapter quota and restore homes and stability to flood victims already-strained communities.
