Traveler Staff Reporter Alice
Burke landed in Holland today
enroute to Brouwershaven, dis
aster-struck Dutch village which
has been adopted by Boston.
MISS BURKE arrived in Am
sterdam after a flight from New
York on a Royal Dutch Airlines
plane. She was greeted by Dutch
government officials and left im
mediately for Brouwershaven.
He^ mission is to bring assure-
ances to the people of the flood-
wrecked village that the people
of Boston are coming to their aid.
AND SHE HAD good news for
them. She will tell them that after
only three days of the Traveler's
Save-A-Town campaign the people
of Boston had contributed more
than $3000 to the fund set up to
help Brouwershaven.
Reporter Burke, in addition to
taking messages of reassurance
and help to Brouwershaven, will
report directly to Traveler readers
an conditions in the town.
EVEN AS Miss Burke winged
her way toward Holland new
groups were forming in Boston to
collect funds for the town, and
individuals were assuring the
Traveler of support.
