six days to 60 only $4,297 Of the

of the strenuous weekend effort
starting today. The campaign closes

Pupils to Contribute.
The county campaign will re-
ceive on Monday the pennies,
nickles and dimes which have been
contributed by Prince Georges
County's 10000 school children, ac-

First warnings of the impending
shortages of noisemaking time
pieces were received here last jan
uary, when dealers were notified
that because Of limited production
of new clocks they would be placed
on quotas. Recently, there came
another letter. Watch and clock
manufacturers, it explained, were
busy making bomb sights and tank
devices. No more alarm clocks would
be available-possibly for the dura-
tion.
Most local dealers exhausted their
stocks Of alarm clocks about three
months ago, and since that time
have been busy commiserating with
heavy sleepers.
Staggered Hours in. Picture.
The number of these, they report,
Is steadily growing, due perhaps to
the ravages Of time to previously
faithful alarm clocks, to the wartime
staggering of school and work hours,
which makes 1t no longer possible for
q large group of people to arise to
the tune OF a single clock, and to the
continued influx Of new Government
workers. Government workers NOV
ing to Washington bring everything
from a paper weight to a squash
racket, it seems, but usually neglect
to pack an alarm clock.
Mrs. E. w. Reeve, working in the
timepiece division OF one Of the larg-
est local department stores, says
that she receives about $50 calls q
day from alarm clock-less residents.
The supply, Mrs. Reeve explains,
was sold out back In the summer
sometime"
Nestor r. Delevaux, who operates
q clock shop on Connecticut avenue
but hasn't had any alarm clocks for
three months. reports i've or six calls
o day and sometimes as many as Is.
Unable to buy the devices new,
some desperate residents have been
making the rounds Of the pawn
shops. Until recently, however, most
pawnbrokers evidenced no interest
in alarm clocks and now are In no
position to take advantage Of the
shortage.
