ACTION NEEIj>pD FOR WAR FUND
Action ;isw needed to put over the United
Chest War^ Fund."' Carson county h.as not
made its usual progress in raising its quota of
$6,200.00.
N^rkrally the delay in the public making
contributions’is' due to the fact that the
f6rm2ft^ijghtmg.*’ih ‘'World V^ar II ceased in
August.' ■' r X:
When it is realized; that tiin«illk)nsi ;o£| 1/“11 _ f
service men now/ have mc^ 'tipje to enjoy! 1 1061/ I\lil6U
the USO and other facilities, the public'
should respond to the appeal-to.raise $6,200.00,
of which $600.00 will go to the Carson ’Coun-
ty Girl Scouts and $500.00 to the Boy Scouts.
In addition to the services that the Wat
Fund will furnish to the military personnel,
millions will go to the relief of distressed
persons', throughout the. world,.
( America has puid? a tremendous-financial
cost in World War If, but the' civilian popu-
lation has suffered none. Bombings have
not killed and> injured thousands of persons.
If yqu have been hbsifant to make a lib-
eral contribution to the War Fund, you should
not. . You will have, a great satisfaction/1 in
puttifig over this final; campaign for the War
Chest of Texas. ,
Communities in this county that have
gone to work for the, chest have found that
the people are just as liberal as they have'
bqpn in the: three previous compaigns/ 'If
the community leaders who have been ap-
pointed by Asbery A. Callaghan, county
chairman, will start calling on their lists*
they will find that Carson county wilt go over
the top as usual.
Let’s wind up this War Fund campaign
by Oct. 27. Let’s not fail, in this final War
Fund drive.

“I can tell you one thing it

lax—and take things easy —and
figure we’re living in Utopia.”
Judge Guii-

among other t.hings, eternal vigi-
