Help the Naked, Hungry, Hopeless Children in Armenia and Syria, Dec. 19, 1919


From the Hertford County Herald, Ahoskie, N.C., Dec. 19, 1919

Rev. B.M. Lackey of Winton Appointed Chairman of Syrian Drive in Hertford County

Announcement has been made that Rev. B.M. Lackey of Winton has been appointed chairman of the Armenian and Syrian Relief Campaign in Hertford County and selected to put the county “over the top” in the drive for the adoption of homeless children of the Near East. 

He will soon begin his work which will include a Christmas appeal in behalf of hundreds of naked, hungry and hopeless little ones who are today pleading for the Americans to give just a morsel and place to lay their heads in peace.

In accepting the responsibility of the relieve work in this County, the newly named chairman is expected to have no trouble in securing adopting of the county’s quota of orphans. He will have the assistance of loyal workers and will wage this drive with the confidence that characterized his previous war efforts during similar campaigns for relief.

Geo. H. Bellamy has accepted the leadership of North Carolina and he is now organizing his forces to carry this grand old State “over the top” for the little ones.
