Asked Of County
Only Sc, 900 contributed of

Will probably extend
deadline of drive to De-
cember 1. :.

Pinal county has contributed
about $4,000 in the United War
Fund drive thus far, according to
Paul Loucks. county chairman, whe
expressed disappointment Thurs

Loucks stressed the Importance
or the war fund campaign which
meets the needs of II agencies.
"The national war fund is a phil
anthropic federation with three
simple aims" he said. First. to
determine the nature and extent
OF the war-related needs; second,
to see that everybody has chance
to contribute to the funds requir-
ed; and third, to channel the sums
raised for its member agencies
wherever American help is most
needed. These three aims lead to
one objective-to help win the war
soon, with minimum loss of life"
Loucks said that Casa Grande
has turned in about $4,000, Flor
ence $500, Superior $1,000, Cool
idge $1,000. Eloy 5000, Picacho SIS,
Sacaton $50, Oracle $50. He has

tributed STOPS to the drive, ac-

deal for which to be thankful.
With a global war on our hands 1t

that TOTO and his Jap soldiers haV-

not only confined to the European
continent but is reeling under
rights and lefts from the Russians
on his eastern front and the Amer

so thoroughly unprepared for war
as we have been before each war

Hull was cool to this. sugges-

meeting of President Roosevelt
and Prime Minister Churchill
aboard a warshi, in the Atlantic
made the Japanese proposal
technically innocent enough.

main issues should be reached
before any meeting OF the, presi-
dent and the premier.
On Sept. 6 Ambassador Grew
informed Hull that Konoyc as

bic to the proposed high seas
conference; that the navy would
send along a full admiral and
the army its vice chief of staff.

the Ruhr last night to top off q
day-long Sunday assault on Nazi
strongholds which included q
smashing raid by U. S. heavy

1t was the first time since
New Years Eve that the big
Raj bombers had struck at
Germany. Detectives in western
Germany were attacked that
night and mines were laid in
enemy waters. The last heavy
raid was on Dec. FL when Mu-
Mich was attacked by a large
force of bombers.

Down Crashes
Only One Injured
Despite Icy Roods

Despite a heavy snow that
made driving hazardous as early
as late Sunday afternoon, only
one personal injury accident
was reported in the county and
that occurred while pavements
were still dry.
John Ewing, IL, of 24614 Brit
tony, East Detroit, was hurt at
ITO a. m. Sunday when struck
by car driven north on Ora
tiot at Brittony by Ralph Voss,

Vile. Young Ewing, a newsboy,
was rushed to Saratoga hos
p:tal, Detroit, for treatment for
a possible fractured skull. Voss
was not held by East Detroit po-
lice.
Rain that froze as it struck
windshields made driving par
ticularly difficult yesterday at
ternoon. The snow that follow
ed was more than three inches
deep, drivers noted this morn
ing.
Property injury accidents were
frequent, but slow speeds made
the crashes minor.
