Marie NEW CANAAN GIRL AIDS NEAR - * EAST ORPHANS- Miss Caroline Silliman in Charge of Conn.‘ Building In Alexandropol. ' "Connecticut" is a word that. in ev- ery day on the tongues of 5.000 little children in Alexandropol, in the Near East. These, youngsters. who are con- tinually hearing and referring to the Nutmeg State. are all orphans in the cure of the Near East Relief. They represent the children who are cared Relief from Connecticut people, and for that reason the building in wit/sh they are quartered is known as The Connecticut Building. In this regard is it also appropriate that the building and its youthful inhabitants should be under the supervision of M15 Caro- line Silliman “New Canaan. It has been estimated that $60 will feed. clothe and educate one orphan child for a. year. The aggregate of contributions from Connecticut nec- essary to maintain this Connecticut Building, therefore. is $300,000. ' State Director Mrs. E. H. McDon- ough of the Near East Relief inspect- ed the Connecticut Building while in the Near East last summer.~ Mrs. McDonough reported all. of the youngsters under the care of Miss Siliiman were bright. healthy and happy children, for different in ap- pearance from the desolate orphans who had been taken into the home a short time previously. Both boys and girls are receiving an education which will permit them in hn coinsupporting when they reach maturity. More than that they are being taught the mean- ing of service, one indication of which Mrs. McDonough found in the Boy Scout troop which had been formed among the boys. These Near East Scouts. who have taken for their motto "Lift and Be Lifted." perform guard duty about the quarters occu- pied by the girls and perform mafly other necessary services for this lit- tle community. In many Connecticut schools and churches, contributions are given with the understanding that they be sent directly to Miss Silllman. 1 State Treasurer Meigs H. Whaples of Hart- ford only yesterday received one such letter from Principal J. E. Poole of Madison. The letter follows: "I am enclosing $10 which was contributed by the pupils of the Hang Consolidated School for Near East Relief. Will you please see that this money is sent. direct to Miss Caroline Silliman in charge of the educational work in the Alexandropol area. The boys and girls wotfld be most pleased if they might have a letter from Miss Silliman on receipt of their small con- tribution from a small school. If you would mention this to her. I should consider it well worth while." COMMISSION ASE; FOR SALE OF HOME OF LATE AUTHOR The sale of Samuel L.
