WAR RELIEF GIVEN
Red Cross Dance Here
Enthusiasm of Schley countians in answering an appeal for war relief funds 
Thursday prompted Red Cross officials to expect the chapter would surpass its 
quota of $200.  James H. Hart, chairman of the chapter, said cash 
contributions had reached $40, and emphasized the drive still is being 
conducted with a large proportion of citizens still unsolicited.  Arrangements 
were completed Thursday for sponsoring a benefit dance at the Ellaville 
gymnasium next Thursday evening at 9:30 o'clock.  Jinx Jennings and his 11-
piece orchestra of Americus will furnish music.  An advance ticket (sale) will 
be conducted with tickets available at Jordan's Drug Store, Wilson's Drug 
Store, the post office and from all rural letter carriers.  Admission will be 
$1 per couple.  Committees named by Hart to promote the dance included:  
Arrangements, Charles (Buddy) Battle, Paul Tondee,  Byron Hill, T.H. Stevens, 
Jr., Charles Wall, Jr., Mrs. M.J. Arrington, Mrs. T.B. Johnson, Mrs. Paul 
Coffin, Mrs. Eugene Dixon and Mrs. S.T. Barnes; publicity, Charles Wall, Sr., 
and Raymond Duncan.  
 
This wire received by the Ellaville chapter Wednesday from Norman H. Davis, of 
Washington, D.C., national Red Cross chairman:  "When American Red Cross asked 
minimum war relief fund ten million dollars no one could foresee that in two 
short weeks greatest tragedy in all history would be unfolded.  Impossible to 
describe pitiful plight millions refugees in France.  Sick, wounded, hungry 
and homeless, they cry out to us for help.  Will need much more than ten 
million dollars, therefore quotas originally assigned should be regarded only 
as minimum immediate objectives.  Chapters should then go on, and where 
possible, double their quotas.  In fact, only limitation should be maximum 
generosity and American people.  Wire reports, Wednesday and Saturdays.
 
Girl Scouts wearing Red Cross nurse caps already have made a canvass of 
Ellaville, but many persons were missed.  Anyone wishing to contribute may see 
Mr. Hart or Miss Margaret Souter, treasurer of the Red Cross chapter.

Additional Comments:
Hariette Hart Murray daughter of James H. Hart and sister of Jimmie Sue Hart, 
pictured in the Red Cross nurse outfit, sent in this photo after reading about 
the Girls Scouts of Ellaville soliciting for donations for war relief.  Sue 
was undoubtedly on a mission for funds in this picture.
