The Garand semi-automatic rifle,
which is the standard issue today
for the U. S. army, is superior to
the old Springfield rifle in many re-
spects. We literally need millions
of these fast shooting powerful rifles
to equip our army. They cost S85
each and are being manufactured at
the rate Of one a minute. They fire
sixty 30-calibre shells a minute.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1942-05-21

Every one of the 100000 900 en-

easily buy one of these rifles for the
army. Not that we need that many,
but the reserve could go into shells
and other much needed supplies.

War Fair Is Planned
Next Month 10 Aid
Community Fund
New Weapons to Be
Shown at Exhibition
At UIine's Arena

An eight-day war fair in which will
be exhibited military weapons and
a dramatization of the war and home
front activities of the agencies that
will participate in the Community
War Fund campaign here next month
will be held at Uline's Arena, Third
and M streets NE, October 22-30.
Announcement of plans for the
event was made yesterday by Edwin
c. Graham, general chairman of the
Community War Fund board of di-
rectors.
"It is of course not possible for
every one to visit the war fronts of
the world and the nearly 100 agen-
cies participating in the war fund" !"
Mr.. Graham said. so we hope to
bring these activities dramatically
under one roof to show the people
Of Washington where their contribu-
tions are used when they support
this vitally important effort"
Plans are under way, he added,
TO exhibit some of the newest weap-
ons in use in the present war and
possibly to simulate battlefront
conditions. The Army, Navy and
Marine Corps have been asked to
cooperate in this phase of the fair,
In addition there will be exhibits
and demonstrations by fund-sup-
ported hospitals, United Nations
war relief groups and by the many
home front organizations listed as
members of the Community War
Fund.
Bands and stage and radio stars
will be included among entertain
ment features he said.
There will be no admission
charge, no distribution of tickets and
no solicitation of funds at the fair,
he emphasized.
Still further attractions. according
to present arrangements. will be spe-
eial features and variety of con-
tests in which every age group may
participate.
This is going to be a community
show by the community. about the
community and to show what the
community is doing here and abroad
in the way of domestic and war
relief" Mr.. Graham said.
1T Is doubly important that the
Community War Fund drive has
the unstinted support of every citi-
zen of the area. Because of the
great Importance of this effort we
feel that the public should be made
to realize fully the necessity of the
work of all these agencies which
look to the fund for financial sup
port.
That is why we have planned
war fair. 1t is to impress upon all
OF us the bitterness of the struggle
some peoples of the world are MAX
ing for survival and to bring home
to us the fact that without our help
financially the struggle may be lost
by some who might otherwise live"
Appointment of committees to
direct activities leading up to the
fair now is under way, Mr.. Graham
said.
