According to State Deputy William J. keenan, more than $50 1000 has been raised in Rhode Island toward the big National War Camp Fund. being raised throughout the country by the Knights of Columbus. This figure, however, is still considerably below the allotment to the state, although Westerly's levy of 5000 was exceeded by $500. There is no doubt but be- fore the campaign ends the state will have done its share toward assuring the success if the recreation centres being maintained by the order in can tonments and camps.
 According to a statement made by the state deputy, the success thus far attained has been due to the co-op- eration received from all classes in the community. The recreation centres conducted by the Knights of Columbus are for the use of all soldiers regard less of creed.

The com n2ittee members have also been charg ed by George H. Holmes, fuel admin istrator, with the task of investigat- ing and relieving individual cases of coal shortages called to their atten ton.
 Although Boston coal investigators nave estimated that New England must adjust. itself to an estimated nal supply fer New England, MT.

He states, however, that shortage does exist, and cannot be fully relieved even with the rene- dies effected by government regula- ton of shipping facilities.
