SEND A COW BY RADIO
21
animals to the Greeks within the year.
To acquaint the pubhc with the full details of sending a cow by radio and the other relief activities of GWRA, George Xanthaky, executive vice-president, and George P. Skouras, national vice-president, appeared at mass meetings in forty different cities, including Kansas City, of the United States during April and May.
Although GWRA has pledged its immediate help in raising 10,000 animals in this manner, it probably will go right on with new commitments. The national schedule of mass meetings will be repeated and other meetings encouraged throughout the country.
GWRA's child feeding program provides a good warm meal daily for each of 600,000 children, and GWRA would like to raise this to
1,000,000 for the Greek youngsters who are two to four years behind in their natural growth. The Association also hopes to care for 25,000 orphans not now cared for by present limited facilities.
GWRA has also arranged a food package program. The cost of a 35Ib. package of food delivered to any part of Greece is kept down to $12.75 by their efficiency .
In addition GWRA has programs for an extensive medical service, permanent health centers on twenty sites, mass radiological examinations, an anti-malarial campaign in Crete, reestablishing the YMCA's in Athens, Salonika and Corfu, and rehabilitation for disabled war veterans.
The fight has just begun as far as the Greek War Relief Association is concerned.

LIE AWAKE NIGHTS
A soldier from Kansas City married a girl from a little town in France. He warned her that every Saturday night the Indians get drunk, sweep into the city and tomahawk and scalp the settlers. But he also explained that the Redskins are not very smart and are easily hoodwinked. All one has to do is duck when the tomahawk swings and hand the Indian a wig. He'll think it contains scalp and everything and trot along. The story came to light when custom officials found half a dozen blonde swatches in the young lady's luggage.

Two farmers, jealous of each other's early rising, became boastful. One allowed as how he got up before 3 a.m. His rival, hoping to catch him in a fib, rose at 2 the next morning and went to call on his bragging neighbor.
When the latter's wife answered the door and was asked where her husband was she replied; "Dunno — ^but he was around early this morning."
