Few Contribute To Florida Fund
Red Cross Officials Report Residents of Mainland Respond Slowly.
Declare Need Is Urgent
Sterling Council gave $25 at a meeting last week, and officials say they hope for more donations this week.
The fund collects money for relief after a hurricane struck the east coast of Florida.
Despite the appeal made for funds to be used for relief and rehabilitation work in Florida, suffering after the terrific hurricane which struck its east coast and the Miami section recently, but three contributions have been received by the Pleasantville Branch of the American Red Cross at its office, 54 E. Washington avenue, it was reported late yesterday.
The appeal was made to the American people after Henry M. Baker, national director of disaster relief for the American Red Cross, arrived in Florida to take charge of relief work in the stricken section a few days ago. It was signed by an executive committee headed by Frank B. Shutts, publisher of the Miami Herald.
The local chapter of the Red Cross has appealed to both local and Mainland residents for funds, which will be sent to National Headquarters of the American Red Cross, and from there to Florida. Mrs. E. G. Shreve heads the local chapter, and made the request for the funds.
Sterling Council, at a meeting last week, contributed $25 to the cause. Mrs. Mae Irelan Donaldson and Miss Mary L. Reiley were the others who have contributed up to date.
