Polish Relief Fund

Famous quotes containing the words polish, relief and/or fund:

    with Bab-o and find a new God
    as the earth empties out
    into the gnarled hands of the old redeemer.

    I am advised that there is an unexpended balance of about $45,000 of the fund appropriated for the relief of the sufferers by flood upon the Mississippi River and its tributaries, and I recommend that authority be given to use this fund to meet the most urgent necessities of the poorer people in Oklahoma.
