Meanwhile M?. Ryan'had been
in contact with Walter Dockc-rell,
of the O.P.A., in New York,
and had tried to reach Dr. Pot-ter.
That night the administra-tor
telephoned from the capital
and the trustee told him -there
were only one car load of coal
in Freeport, whereas five were
needed daily to supply the de-mand.
It was at that time Dr.
Potter promised that Freeport
would get the five cars dally,
but would have to accept some
bituminous coal.

telephone on Friday, when Mr.

MrK E. A. Pollard Jones, who
is heading the organization for
the present, cited one case that
had come to her attention. A
mother of four children ranging
in age from 2 to 8, whose hus-band
is a soldier in Honolulu
was taken ill and confined to her
bed. She could do no house wqrk
or care for the children. She had
no relatives or friends on whom
to call. Her physician got in
touch with several Red Cross
workers and they have taken the
situation in hand,
. Mrs* Jones explained that this
is only one of many such cases.
She appealed to THE LEADER
to assist her in organizing a vo-lunteer
group of Good Neigh-bors
to pitch in and assist
ere who arc taken ill. and un*.
