Sunday will be church contribu-
tion day to the Christmas Cheer work
in Union City. The committees APP
pointed will take up the work with
the churches of the city and receive
contributions for the fund.
This Christmas day will find a
number of deserving families desti-
tute unless relief is afforded from
some source and for this reason a
number of cooperative citizens have
planned to undertake the work Of
raising funds. making investigations
and purchasing the necessities need
ed most in each home. The oppor-
tunity is given to everybody to help
someone else make this Christmas
merry one instead of needy one and
this can be done by banding together
and standing together with our con-
tributions and our efforts.
This is a general call to all and not
a chosen few. If you can't help one
way you can surely help another and
there is not man, woman or child
in this fair little city who will not
respond to the s. O.S. of those in need
and who will not enable Santa Claus
to visit the child who expects him.

far different from the swashbuckling

he frequently goes 10 the phone and
says something like this:

People No Longer Able TO
Pay High Prices,
Fagg Says
TOO MANY IDLE
CONSUMERS NOW

WASHINGTON, March 5-The high
cost Of living viii fan in April because
Of The inability Of people to pay high
prices longer.
This is the opinion OF Howard Figs.
special assistant u. 5. attorney general
in charge Of the federal campaign to
lower prices. Figg made the predic-
tion two months ago that prices would
be down p per cent in April. In spite
OF the Bureau OF Labor's figures show
ing they had climbed per cent. since
Figg's predict the assistant attorney
general still holds the statement.
People can no longer absorb high
prices Figg says. II have flrst-hand
information that retail sales in all lines
are 20 to p per cent. below normal.
This means that prices must fall TO
move the goods from the shelves.
After wrestling with the problem a
year Figg says six things caused the
high cost Of living. Increased volume
Of money and credits, increased wages,
decreased production, caused largely by
shorter hours and war labor condi-
tions, increased cost Of distribution,
extravaganza and pronteerins have
boosted prices. Figg says.
Congress will gradually restrict
money and credits until normal bal
ance is regained," Figg thinks. "La-
Dor must come down from the clouds
and work harder for less money. It
would not be wise TO lower wages too
rapidly. but labor, from the lowest to
the mos. skilled must bend its back
TO increase production and overcome
ihe extravaganza that is depicting our
stores"
The middleman who is responsible
FOR increased distribution cost arouses
Figg's ire
