Formation of an Ann Arbor chapter of the Greek War Relief Association, Inc., headed by George Burke as honorary chairman and Rudolph Reichert as chairman, was announced today.

Mr. Reichert said the organization would conduct a campaign here March 24-30 to raise funds for military and civilian aid for embattled Greece. Every cent raised will be sent to Greece, he said, since local Greek-Americans will pay all campaign expenses.

The advisory council is composed of Ira Smith, Shirley Smith, Dr. Frederick Coller, Cone Lighthall, Earl Cress, William Brown, George Langford, John Panarites, Judge George W. Sample, Frank Preketes, Nima Perros, Peter Raft, Clyde Fleming, Rev. M. Kontoleon, Frank DeVine and Herman Gross.

The women’s committee is composed of Mrs. R. Bishop Canfield, chairman; Mrs. H. Marvin Pollard, vice-chairman; Mrs. Earl Cress, secretary-treasurer; and Mrs. Paul Preketes and Mrs. Paul Koken.
