Grocers oi Michigan Help Belgian Relief Gominissbn to Fill Mich-
.' igau Ship.
Detroit, May 1—-T expecttojsell half
a car of flour myself," said one of Detroit's grneers in discussing the "Buy
a ortek'ol Flour" campaign, which is
"ust being started in Michigan by tbe
Commission for Relief in Belgium.
"1 am pretty w«il acquainted with
the generosity of tiif people of Michigan," said another, -"and I'll wager
'that this campaign will result in the
gathering of at leas --"SJ.CfOO 5*5-pmiiid
sacks of flour to add t»> the «argo of
the Michigan ship.
"This 'Buy a Sack of'Flour' plan-is
a Michigan idea,',' said Chairman
Charles B. Warren, of the Michigan
committee. "Its simplennss is what
commends it to every p.iis-n. Every
grocer has flour. Every resident in
Prosperous Michigan " feels for the
sufferers of Belgium. No .housewife,
when she orders her gi-ogerie-, realizing the -needs of. the woman au.d children in Belgium, could help but feel
thatthe money expended for a sack of
flour to be sent to some starving family over there, was well spent and well
invested, for it might save a life. All.
a woman needs to do is to order a sack
of flour and designate that it is to be
sent to the Belgians. The grocer will
send in the order, the floirr will b« delivered to the Michigan committee ami
the purchaser will receive a letter pf
thanks and acknowledgement from the
Commission's office at 533 Dime bank
building. The sack will be included
in the cargo y/hich will be placed
aboard the Michigan ship and delivered at Rotterdam-and from there into
Belgium by way of the canals, whicli
have been" opened for the use of the
commission'.''1"
Every penny expended for flour will
be used for=thatVpurp6se, all of the expenses,^ transportation, etc., being
taken-care vof by. a" furt.t!::,pi'Ovided b'y ■
some* New York- -philanthropists-.
Since the first ship sailed from this
country witb supplies for the Belgians,
atotal of sixty-live' ship load-, up to
April 17, have been sr-nt by the American people. This represents a total
tonnage of 397,769, or .881,063,040
pounds. As there are about seven
million in Belgium,-wh6ily dependent
upon food froni this source, the distribution has averaged about 1251
pounds during the past six months, i
or about ten 'ounces a day, to each person, a meagre ration*, according to the
American- idea of living. ;
James W. Bennett, news-editor of
the Roanoke, Va., Times, who went to
Belgium with a cargo sent by the people of Virginia, made an auto trip
.through Belgium, visiting Mnlines,
Brussels, Dianant, Namur, Liege,
Louvain and other places where he
personally witnessed the distribution
of American food.
