'Help for Netherlands' Fund Set Up by Local Businessmen
A Holland Relief fund has been established by the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce to aid the flood-stricken victims of that country.
A total of $218 has been received since Friday, Mr. Zook said, when several people came in to inquire if such a fund was being planned. Some donations have been small; others amounted to several dollars. Contributions are strictly voluntary. There will be no soliciting, and no drive will be conducted.
The chamber of commerce will see that the money collected here is delivered to the proper officers of The Netherlands government, so they can use it as they see fit, Mr. Zook said.
"If any other community organizations need information for establishing their own funds we will be glad to provide that information, or if they wish to participate through the Chamber of Commerce they will be welcome," he explained.
Contributions may be deposited at the Chamber of Commerce office in the Wren building, 8th and Vermont streets, between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m., until noon Saturday, Feb. 14. The theatre need is immediate and the money must reach Holland soon if it is to do the most good, Mr. Zook said.
Any amount will be accepted, and checks should be made out to the Holland Relief fund, although cash donations also may be made.
"We were informed Thursday the Dutch people need money more than anything else," Mr. Zook said. "Clothing, food, and things of that type have been sent in great quantities to the flooded country since the flood began, so those needs are taken care of by now."
Although several Kansas cities have established relief funds for Holland, and there has been discussion of a state fund being formed to handle donations collected in various cities, the Lawrence fund is to be kept strictly local.
"Most of the people I've talked to want to make this fund a gift to Queen Juliana from Lawrence, Kan." Mr. Zook said. "We don't intend to donate the money we collect here to the state fund."
"This community certainly appreciated the wide response by others to its problems during the flood in 1511," he said. "Our contributions will represent a sort of repayment for the help we received from others when a flood struck us."
J. N. McGinley, engineer in the Steel and Tubes Division of Republic Steel corporation, will speak on the manufacturing of steel tubing at a meeting of the KU chapter of the American Society of Tool Engineers at 7:15 p.m. Thursday in Fowler shops.
