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.
