At a mass meeting of the relief committees working in the fire ravaged town Senator Simmons impressed upon the committees that the people of New Bern, temporarily dazed by the disaster that swept down upon their city 80 suddenly do not realize the real seriousness of the situation.

Yesterday there was some doubt as to whether the people of New Bern would need the help of the outside State, but as the survey into the situation extends deeper, it finds that more than a thousand people face hunger cold and pestilence, unless the other cities of the State come to their relief and come quickly. Mayor Eldridge feels sure that the people of Raleigh will not be slow in answering the call. He has appointed a committee consisting of Mra. W. T.

Bost, of the Woman's Club, R. Presidents, president of the Chamber of Comerce, Dr. Charles Lee Smith, president of the Civitan Club, Willis Smith, president of the Kiwanis Club, Cale Burgess, president of the Lions Club, George Marsh, president of the Rotary Club, and William Perlstein, president of the Merchants' Association, and all the pastors of the Raleigh churches. They will meet with the Mayor at twelve o'clock today for definite organization. The work of charity and relief has not waited for the organization of the committee.

Folowing the proclamation of Mayor Eldridge which appeared in yesterday morning's Observer collections for the New Bern relief were taken in several of the city churches, with the result that more 28 either raised or pledged to the work. Contributions may be sent to the Mayor or to this paper, and they will be diverted into the proper channels. The Mayor's proclamation follows: "Our neighbor city, New Bern, has been overtaken by a fire calamity without a parallel in North Carolina history. area a mile long and blocks in width has been swept by flames, rendering hundreds of families homeless and destitute, besides depriving many scores of breadwinners of the means of earning a livelihood. In such an hour and in such a despair all hearts beat in sympathy with the sufferers, and all are moved by the impulse to offer assistance.

"In view of the widespread disaster and the urgent need for nid, I call upon the people of Raleigh to respond with generous contributions to a relief fund which will be started at once and continued until the wealthy and the well-to-do have given liberally of their abundance and the poor have given their mites. To carry out the purpose of this proclamation I shall call upon certain citizens to serve ns a relief commission. In the haste that the necessity of the circumstances requires may be appointed without being consulted; but all will be expected willingly and gladly to give their best efforts and as much of their time as may be required to this cause that appeals 80 strongly to all who know the meaning of human kindness.
