M *Y<>r Sullivan's Proclama
tion Urges All Citizens to
Give Liberally—Jews Are
Famine Stricken.
Published elsewhere in this issue
s the Mayor's proclamation, urging
every citizen of Bogalusa to come
.'«•ward and take a personal interest
ÿ the carhpa'.gn that is being waged
b's week for the relief of suffering
».used by the world wter, now hap
pily at an end.
The war is only at an end, how
ver, so far as actual fighting be
f een the Allies and Germany, Aus
ffa and Turkey is concerned. We
now find thousands of people in those
ar-stricken lands facing a common
Toe to all mankind—famine.
' No people are suffering more from
he awful cruelties of the war than
aye the Jews of Russian Poland,
L^thaun'a, Bulgaria and other parts
:>£ Europe. Unfortunately, there is
a prejudice in those countries against
he Jews that we cannot understand
appreciate. From the news that
cbmes to us, these unfortunate peo
ple are still suffering the torments
of war as well as those of pestilence
and starvation.
All Bogalusans know Jews. We
have many good citizens who are of
Jewish birth/ In all of our various
*hr activities these people have al
lays gladly and willingly borne their
hare of the work and the expense.
Tor the first time in history they are
asking us to help them. They are
ot asking much, it is true, but every
ntizen of Bogalusa should feel it a
tigh privilege to be allowed to assist
n so worthy a cause.
Our city is called on to give $2,500
«r-$3,000. A representative of the
:«j»imtteed, headed by H. J. Cow-
nU and J. B. Lindsley, will call op.
oü sometime this week. Be sure to
vite juiet-ms liberaByas you can and
ust as if file money was going for
uiy other kind of war work. It is
m opportunity that may not come
again for Bogalusa to show her Jew-
ish citizens that we are proud cf
them, that we sympathize with their
suffering people across the world,
and that we are glad to help, just as
we accepted their help when we
needed it not so very long ago.
