nORTHWESI AXKANSM T1MK. Arkanun Thursday, July 28, 1949 GREEKSNEED-- CONTINUED FROM I'ACE ONK population ol Athens from 100,000 to 1,000,000 within the last few years. Poorer people live live and to the room. Many families live In refugee 'camps. Foundation Helps After the German occupation, the Near East Foundation established children hostels.

The queen took these over and requisitioned roany other places. Greek women help the queen with her welfare work. To help pay for their care, there is a queen's fund tax on every theater ticket. Every organization with any money io spare gives to the fund. The Near East Founda- ticn contributes supplies and trained personnel.

The foundation is helping the government replace looms in homes of peasants, so they can make their own clothing. Before the ar, looms were as common as chairs, but the Germans burned them. In particular, the NEF has been putting looms into the home of widows of Kalyvrata, a town which the Germans tried to wipe out. They machine-gunned all the men and boys over 14, and put all i the women and children in the school house, which they then se' on fire. A German who did not condone the action slipped around to the back and opened the door, so some escaped.

The Greeks are working doggedly, Mrs. Archer ststed. Often, during the guerilla warfare, it ha been necessary for armed guard to take the peasants from their village homes to the a lands, and to watch over them while hey work. Children have been taken to school in the way- Mines A Menace Guerilla tactics a few month ago were to put mines in wheat slacks, fruit trtjes, and by spring where the people would naturally stop. This war is producing more loss of limbs than any other war, because of the mines, Mrs- Archer said.

The Near East Foundation has a hospital for rehabilitation of disabled civilians. Mrs. Archer belongs io three organizations which do welfare work: The American Women's Organization for Greece, founded by the United States ambassador 1 wife; the Hellenic-American Women's Club, composed of Americans and Greeks Episcopal Church Guild, made up of Amen can, Greek and British They work in hospitals, support nursery schools, make clothing for children, contribute money to Greek students, collect clothing for refugees. Many boxes of clothing have been sent Fnyetteville since an appeal from Mrs. Archer published last winter in the TIMES.

Everybody. nor nearly everybody--in the city cooperated. With Elmer Hale, a wholesale grocer and bank president in charge, the appeal for trucks wa answered liberally by McAlcster firms. Fifty-four trucks and drivers were used; more were offered. A Saturday and Sunday campaign of picking up Irash in 500 truck loads being hauled to the often-sprayed city dump.

The city and the county donated what trucks they had, and men's civic groups were asked to provide 20 men each or per man so that laborers might be hired. Members of the Parent-Teacher Association--400 worsen--worked in the fighl polio campaign, mapping out the town, going house to house. The city paid to have truck! spray the business section and the numerous alteys, at a cost of $600. The report from McAlestcr officials was that McAlester has the fly and mosquito menace whipped: they have a considerably cleaner city as a result of the intensive campaign; they expect to institute a regular garbage and trash cleanup program (which FayetteviHe already has). At least part of the program i paid for by the addition of 50 cents a month on the water bills.
