FLOODS AND TYPHOONS DEVASTATE KOREA
The American Embassy in Seoul, Korea has issued an urgent re quest for full-scale flood relief. The areas marked on this map represent a partial list of the large number of people seriously hit by flash floods and typhoons. 583,185 people have had to flee their homes, losing all their pos sessions. 8,247 homes have been totally destroyed and 235 persons have lost their lives. 470 bridges have been washed out, 3,000 head of live stock killed. The roads and highways in 1,545 towns, villages and hamlets have been washed out making transporation almost impossible. Unless help is sent immediately thousands more will die from hunger and disease. With the coming of winter many more will freeze unless they re ceive warm clothing.
THIS IS AN EMERGENCY APPEAL! We must rush food and clothing to Korea at once. Send your con tribution of good used clothing and money to purchase food to day. CHRISTIANS I Pray for these suffering people and give as unto the Lord.
