GOV RIGGS APPEALS
FOR STARVING CHILDREN
To the people of Alaska;
Greeting:
Today we enter upon the Now Year.
To each of you I extend my cordial
best wishes for health, happiness and
success. We start the new year with
high hopes for ourselves and confidence
in the future.
Won’t you think just a moment of
those who have do hope and to whom
the outlookis dark and discouraging?
Won't you think of the three and a
half million starving children of Eur
ope who are calling to us through
Herbert Hoover for help?
For ten dollars you can have an
invisible little guest a\ your table un
til the next harvest releases you from
your guardiundhip
For one dolar you can save a child's
life for one month.
I>>t us commence the New Tear In
a spirit of helpful charity for those
who cannot help themselves. T know
that the people of Alaska are adways
ready to do their share.
Juneau, Alaska, Jan. 1, 1921.
