Leave Your Donation At One Of The
Banks
People in Greece are dying of star-

ment of fact—not hearsay. What are
we going to do about this deplorable
condition. In the face of the German
invader these gallant peoples stood
their ground. They did not capitulate
until they were so badly disorganized
that it was impossible to carry on.
Ever since that time they have not
given up the fight nor the hope of
again'being a free people. We owe
them very much.
A campaign is now on to raise for
their relief $500,000 in Canada. Wing-
ham share of this total is $500. Leave
your donation at either bank. No don-
ation is too small—none will be too
big. The food sent them will be for-
warded through the International Red
Cross and thus we are assured it will
reach these stricken folk. Be as gen-
erous as you can, The need is most
urgent.
