—U. N. Appeal   .'
Through the efforts of the Clare
County Ministerial Association and
in, cooperation with* the' American
Overseas Aid—United Nations Appeal for Children, most churches in
Clare county will ask an offering next
Sunday for the homeless, hungry and
helpless children who yet suffer the
ravages of World War II. x
American Overseas Aid—United
Nations Appeal for Children is the
organization set up through the United States Secretary of State and Department of Agriculture, to raise
money to feed these children and to
do something about their health and
education.
The UNAC is to get $21,000,000 of
the 160,000,000 sought. This money
is the share of the American people
of the community chest being raised
in 45 countries to feed as many of
these starving children as can be
reached.
The remainder of the money has
been. allocated—after thorough study
of all projects — to 25 American aid
groups, including the Protestant and
Catholic church, the Friends and
Unitarians, labor's overseas relief
activities, and nationality agencies.
On March 1, 1948, the International
Children's Emergency Fund, which
spends the NUAC money, actually
was feeding 4,000,000 children who
otherwise would starve; the 25 agencies were on programs for feeding
3,500,000 children in addition to their
other work.
County Agent Paul D. Gibson, of
Harrison, is the county chairman
and the Rev. Mrs. Leah Garchow, of
