SEIDL caption: RED CROSS CHECK — Three checks totaling $2,500 were made out recently by County Red Cross Secretary Lee Holland to be used to pay for food relief expense in Louisa, Henry and Van Buren Counties. The money was given to the local Red Cross Chapter to be used for this purpose from the will of the late Florence Vorel, a long-time resident of the Wellman community who left funds in her will to be used for emergency relief for flood or storm sufferers from time-to-time as selected by the administrator of the estate and approved by the court. Holding the "flood relief" check are Lee Holland, left, and Irvin E. Coffey, estate administrator, while E.D. Morrison Jr., attorney, is seated at his desk pointing out the various towns in which the money will be used. — Journal photo by Bob Elliott
