Interment Fordwich Cemetery, GREEK CHILDREN REQUIRE FOOD Canada Sending Wheat Red Cross Sending Food Parcels You have read many horror stories coining out of this war. Everyone has: Rotterdam, Hong Kong, Lidice; —the annalS are full of . them. Stories of horror and heroism. The heroism of Mothers dying to protect their chil- dren and the horror of babies maimed and slaughtered by indiscriminate bombing. Yet there is Olie 'story. that we, id the press of more momentous events, seem to have forgotten. It is the story of the children of Greece. Remember the Greeks? Remember their gallant fight against odds that would have daunted a less valiant people? They are paying now for the fight they put up against invasion. Since the clays of Herod, no nation has paid a higher penalty. There -is no greater torture than that of a brave man who has to stand helpless- ly by whilst his children starve. In the Red Cross magazine, the Revue Internationale, some small part of the ghastly story can be ,read, The text of this magazine is in French, but no knowledge of any language is needed td get the full import of the pictures it contains. They arc a graphic illustration of Dr. 'GoebbelS' boast that the whole of Europe will starve before Germany feels the pinch. One picture portrays three children standing against a wall in a Greek town. Just that and no more. Three children, two small boys and a girl, emaciated until their bony knees stand out like gnarled knots on their pipe- stem legs;—until their dark eyes stare blankly, piteously, from cavernous sockets. Starved until no amount of clothes could keep' the chill out of their thin bodies. • They are the orphans of the storm that was none of their making, and the appeal of their hunger-wracked little bodies is one that no civilized country could reject. Arc they to die beca'use their fathers fought in our battle? Whatever the outcome of this war, no .terms arranged in 1944 or 1945 will help the Greek children who have survived by them. It is not revenge or reparations they want—only food, Into the offices of the Red Cross • Society come appeals from Greece that are heartrending in their very brevity. Over annd over again they ask: "Send us bread," The Canadian. Government is sending 15,000 tons of Wheat month- ly to the stricken nation, and the Red Cross has agreed to ship 10,000 food parcels as a gift from the Canadian people. It is up to the people of Can- ada to see that the Red Cross is Ale to do so. The children of Greece are asking us for bread, Shall we offer them a 'stone? FUEL FOR BROODER STOVES AVAILABLE Residents of the district who have hesitated to order day-old and week- old chicks for spring delivery lest they may be unable to obtain sufficient coal for brooder stoves have had their fears allayed. The Fuels Controller has granted a priority on coal for brooder stove use. In the, case of oil burning brooder stoves, fuel oil is not likely to be avail- able, but kerosene can be used ill these Stoves, and is to. be permitted in all stoves purchased prior to July, 1942. The use of electrical equipment is going to be permitted if at present available, but no new electric brooding stoves are being permitted. Thus most of the brooding will be done in coal burning brooder stoves, and while the original order of the Farm gouipment Controller; Was for EE STABLING the Winter ADVANCE ARMITAGE'S BERT M.
