Sponsored by the American
Friends of Yugoslavia, Inc, this
campaign is the first comprehen-
sive American appeal in behalf Of
the Yugoslavs.
Thirty-five or more Axis divl-
sions are kept away from other
fronts by the brilliantly executed
guerilla warfare of the Yugoslav
Patriots. For nearly two years the
Yugoslav forces have stood alone
as the only fighting armies of the
United Nations on the European
continent west of Russia.
The greater part of this fund
will provide invalid food parcels,
sanitary items, and specialized aid
of various kinds to the 100000 or
more Yugoslav prisoners of war
i'll Germany and Italy. The re-
mainder will be used for medical
supplies for Yugoslav children who
can be reached inside Yugoslavia
and outside their own country and
for emergency aid to Yugoslav sea-
men, refugees and traines. The
work for prisoners is to be done
fer the most part in cooperation
with the American Red Cross and
the International Red Cross.

included in the Community War

NEW START MADE
ON ACCORD WITH
COAL PRODUCERS
Acute Coal Shortage
Is Reported In Many
Widespread Sections
BY The Associated Press

Dy AAO ASSOCIdGCu L ICSS
An acute shortage of coal was
reported yesterday (Wednes-
day. by many widespread COM
munities and survey indicat-
ed supplies in dealers yards
were meagre almost every
where.
In Dayton, Ohio, the short
age was SO stringent that the
Portland Cement company shut
down its plant there, laying off
16O workers, and H. b. Doty,
district manager for the War
Production Board, ordered a
survey of the fuel situation of
other plants.
New regulations governing
distribution of anthracite in IL
Eastern states and the District
Of Columbia were announced
during the day by the Solid
Fuels Administration, and in
formed sources said distribu-
tive controls over bituminous
coal probably would be issued
later in the week.
The new anthracite regMla-
tiOns require written state
ment from a purchaser as to
his stocks on hand and annual
requirements - something not
demanded under previous reg

CITY IS GIVEN
TWO RARE MAPS
Old Cartographs OF Will

By ]. 0. Carr

J. O. Carr, United States dis
trict attorney for the Wilmington
area, has presented Mayor Bruce
Cameron two unusual reproduc-
tons of early maps Of Wilmington
to hang in the city Hall.

map is somewhat crude, Judged

edges are frayed and time-worn.

Wilmington from Corey now call

Water street on the north, and east
and west from Front to Fourth
streets.
The hand inscribed legend reads:
This plan represents the town of
Wilmington as laid out by h e
original proprietors of the same in
the year 1888 at which time it
was agreed upon by the said pro-
prietors to begin the survey OF
their plan at a placs where now
lies the threshold of the north door
of the house next the river now
possessed by Mr.. Hugh Blaming,
and from thence running n I n
half point, west three poles which
is the middle of Market street.
The course of the said street is
east one-half a PORT and north
1O8 poles from the river and OF
the breadth of six poles. The IL
streets parallel thereto are OF the
breadth OF four poles each. Front
street intersects all the aforesaid
streets at right angles and is OF
the breadth of four poles and 1863
poles in length beginning at Dyers

''The other three streets paral-
lei thereto are each of the same
breadth and length with Front

river which is six poles in breadth.
