Denning received the following letter a few days ago from a family in Greece, whom she had sent a package of food and clothing. She asks us to "pass this letter on to our readers in hopes that their hearts may be touched” by the plight of these unfortunate people. New Tharlovaxsi, 10 of May 1946. Dear Mrs. D. Denning, I received your letter and I thank you very much for the interest which you show, to write us and to send us a package of clothes, when I’ll take it I’ll write you. You can’t think the joy I felt, I, and all my family when we read your letter and we saw the interest to help us in every thing we have need. The least help you will give us, we will be very kind to you, because the condition today in Greece is very bad. The hunger, the distress, the reason for no work and illness are the most serious things which hit the whole Greece. For that every help you will give us, it will be very useful. You must know that you, the Americans, for us the Greeks, are the best friends and auxiliarys. Every body suffers in a very bad condition. The war which you know something about it, hut we know more than you. It left us in great destruction and all the people suf fer, but the workmen bear more than the others, because we have no work to do. Till now the help which the Americans sent to friends and rela tives save many people from the misfortune. Some send clothes and some send money which is a very expressive help for us. For that we the Greeks, we never forget you, which in these difficult times we pass, you help us with the best way. The hunger here in the small de partments where we live Is big. The victuals which they give us to pass a whole month are 9 ok of wheat (one bushel In grain) and 80 gr. of sugar (about 3 pounds) from these we sell the sugar to buy the wheat to pass our family a month, because we have no money to buy it. It is really that OYNRRA bring many things, but they give those to the big cities in Greece, especially in Athens, but in a high price. About clothes, they bring scarcely. Now we heard that OYNRRA will give new clothes in our island but the prices are so high that we, the work men, can’t buy them. This is the real condition which we pass today in Greece with few words, because if I write you minute ly all things I’ll use many pages for to make an opinion how the Greeks pass today. I am a poor workman and today I suffer because I have no work to do. I was soldier about six years. I fought in Albania and then I went in Near East where I took place in El-Alamein and in North Africa. When the war was fiulshed I came back destroy without work, and now I suffer many things. You write me that you have the kindness to help me and to write what I need most. The necessity are so difficult cured, because how I write you. The war destroyed everything I had. Foi that any help you’ll send us, it will be useful. Clothes and money are for us indispensable to pass this hard time which we pass today. My family is a boy 9 years and a girl 7 years and my wife. We have need of many things, but you send any thing you like. Excuse me for all these, and I thank you very much for the interest you show to help us. which we are unknown to you., but I see that you have the kindness to help us. For that I thank you very much. Regards from my family and -many thanks to you for your kindness. Very truly yours, Demetrious lonnou Reumeliotla New Carlovassi Samos, Greece Following is another letter writ ten to Jerry Five, route one, New berry, by a family in Greece whom she sent package of clothing: “Dear Friend: “I am very glad because I receiv ed your clothes with your address. I hope to review this my letter and write t 0 me about yours. I am a mother and I have a little boy about 5 old years. During the German occupation we suffered very much and above all the little boys. If you would write to us a letter and heard about and your family next time if you reply to me I will send to you a picture and send to me yours me. My boy like very much the Amer ican boys and he is very glad when write to you. If you know a little Greek, I shall write to you Greek letters. Many loves to your family and many kisses from my boy who loves he loves you. Thali Kiorelly.” The Board of Commissioners of Newberry County will receive seal- ed bids by 12:00 o’clock A.
