A meeting will be held at 2:30
p. m. Thursday, Dec. 28 which will
be attended by a committee com-
posed of representatives of the five
agencies and a member at large
representing the public and any
other citizens or representatives of
community service organizations
who might be interested in enter-
ing the Community chest.
The meeting will be in the au-
ditorium of the Utilities bunding.

Earlier in the year representa-
tives of the proposed Youth Center
asked to have its financial needs
included in the War Chest drive.
It was decided, however, that the
Youth Center’s plans were not suf-
ficiently crystallized to sponsor an
appeal to the public at large.
The four participating agencies
at this week’s meeting voted to al-
low from their fund *4.000 payable
*1.000 each quarter, to the Abilene
Youth Center to carry on its work,
just begun, and to expand it.
E. W. Berry, general chairman of
the War Chest campaign, reported
a total of $79,000 raised in the re-
cent drive. The total of the quotas
for the War Chest and the four lo-
cal agencies in this year’s drive
was $67,136 plus $650 campaign ex-
lic.
It was decided at Monday’s meet-
ing by the four participating agen-
cies to use the money C- ——
that was raised over and above
their originals goals to create a
Community Chest fund.

Against Optimism
CHICAGO. Dec 13.—(Ah—Ameri-
can agriculture, although described
as having more than a 250 per cent
increase in cash and securities now
over five years ago, was cautioned
Tuesday by speakers at the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau Federation con-
vention against over-optimism about
post war reconversion problems.
Ivy W. Duggan, governor of the
Farm Credit administration, told Ja
the convention that farmers’ cash, spare
bank deposits, and government
bonds on Jan. 1, 1944, totaled about
$12,000,000,000. an increase of $7,500,-
000.000 since Jan. 1. 1940.
He added, however agriculture
has a more difficult conversion
problem than Industry Agriculture
does not have any backlog of un-
filled demand to be met when the
war is over.”
Grover B. Hill, undersecretary of [ winters,
agriculture, asserted "There Is no
place in America" for a philosophy |
of scarcity; ours is the heritage of
abundance."

HELENA, Ark., (UP)—It took Bill
Jackson, Phillips County farmer,
14 years to make a satisfactory pro-
fit from his bale of cotton. Jackson
picked the cotton when it was sell-
ing at 9 1-2 cents a pound. Rather
than sell it at this low price, he stor-
ed it. Recently he sold the bale for
21. 1-2 cents a pound. Despite its 14
years in storage, the cotton graded

that created this newer relief.
In this colds’ season, Penetro is
especially helpful in easing chest
muscle tightness, chest rawness, 1
loosening phlegm, relieving coughs.
That’s because Penetro melts in-
stantly, quickly vanishes to act 3
ways (1) To relieve pain at nerve
ends in skin. (2) To ease chest mus-
cle tightness by counter-irritation. |
(3) To soothe irritated breath pas-
sages through inhaled aromatic va-

easing rheumatic and neuralgic pain, I
taking sting from chapped lips and

for bruises, minor cuts. Today get

keep it shumung..
until he comes home, little soldier!"
A lot of other lights are twinkling on again alll over this bat-
tered old planet, little boy-at-the-window! This will be a
Christmas of such hope and promise as our war-tired world has
not seen for more years than you’ve had birthdays.
Lights from the headlamps of thousands of Greyhound buses
reflect the hope that shines in the eyes of people everywhere
—for Greyhound may well be a principal carrier of our vie-
torious fighters, in the greatest home-coming of all time.
In the meantime, let’s keep everlastingly st the jobs we re do-
ing Any let-up in our war assignmenu, now, may let down out
men who are finishing the hard and grinding job that still
remains.
Greyhound’, special task, today, is carrying an enormous vol-
umeof war manpower. Its most pleasant job in post-war days
will be to show America’s millions the charm and beauty, the
friendliness, of the land we have all been fighting for.
