War Fund Campaign
Leaders Named in
Labor Department

Committees have been appointed
and plans completed by the Labor
Department to canvass employees in
the Community War Fund drive
scheduled for next month, it was
announced today by James E. Dod-
son, campaign chairman for the
department,
More than l,700 department en-
ployes will be contacted during the
drive, and Mr.. Dodson expects
quotas to be reached easily. The
result last year. he said, was that
the entire department went over its
quota, and certain bureaus exceeded
requirements by as high as 1877 per
cent.
Employees of the Women's and
Children Bureau, Mr.. Dodson said,
come in daily contact with statistics
and information dealing directly
with the American home and there
fore understand the need for the
War Fund.
They know that environment Is
the key factor in good citizenship
and they realize that those who, be-
cause of circumstances, are not al
ways in a position to have the bene-
fits of good home, can turn to our
local welfare agencies for help" he
said
For example. he pointed out, in
child delinquency problems, the
areas where the standard of welfare
agencies is high the problem is more
easily handled.
During the campaign. the staff
will issue special bulletin daily,
showing where every bureau stands
in regard to its quota.
Mr.. Dodson said he had appointed
j. c. Watts as deputy chairman.
Other appointments were those of
eight bureau chiefs. They are: l.
Lee Potter, Office of the Secretary;
Miss Katherine Lenroot, Children's
Bureau: Miss Mary Anderson, Wom-
ems Bureau; A. F. Hinrichs, Bureau
of Labor Statistics; w. r. McComb,
Wages and Hours and Public Con-
tracts Divisions; Verne A. thinner,

AT AN AMERICAN FIGHTER
BASE IN ITALY, Sept. 20 Delayed
An American ABS invader pilot cap
tured little Italian village and
staked out a. claim in the form OF
q note for Canadian troops which
read:
This is to certify that I, Capt.
Robert w. Hafer, U. S. A. F., cap
tured this town the night of Sep
tember 26. Where in hell have you
been?"
The 27-year-old former Bedford
(Pa.) farmboy was leading a flight
of dive -bombers on September l9 on
his SD mission when his plane was
hit by fax, and oil flooded into the
cockpit Despite the damage he COM
pleted his mission of dive-bombing
a road intersection and baiied out
after the aircraft caught fire.
AS he started to jump, his leg
caught in the cockpit and he suf-
fered severe wrench. Landing near
a town behind the lines, he craWled
into hiding between two rocks. He
eventually got medical aid and made
his way into the hills wher he stayed
six days, hiding in a grass shelter
in field by Gay and sleeping in
a farmhouse at night to avoid the
Germans.
He started with two Italians on
September 25 to get through the
German lines.
"On the first afternoon we were
about to take shelter in a straw
thatched building near a town when
we saw an armed soldier enter it,
he said.
I'VE dropped fiat on the ground
end saw three more soldiers We
recognized as German sentries enter
the building. We were only about
so yards away. We crawled around
the building at a safe distance anC
then went on. That was our closest
call"
The next day they reached the
village and an Italian woman salc
the Germans had pulled out Of the
town only that morning. Capt
Hafer was the first Allied soldier tc
come in. That tickled his sense OF
humor so he wrote the note and left
it with the woman.
II thought it a pretty good joke
to play on the Allied troops who
I knew, would soon be in town." he
laughed. It found out afterwards
the Canadians were the first to
enter and l am sure they received
the note"

Here's another letter in de-
tense Of bachelors - from a
married woman at that-Mrs.
David Shaw, Of Pittsburgh, Pa.
Dear Elsie:
els this the time TO talk OF
bachelor taxes? The bachelors
aren't exactly free TO defend
themselves. They are looking
after a few matters in the Sol
onions and I'm North Africa.
Besides, the bachelor already
pays higher taxes than his mar
ried brother. A single man
earning $1,000 yearly will pay
Sl32 this March; married
man earning a like amount pays
only $500.
Don't forget that many a
bachelor is not free by choice.
Many yearn for the quiet pleas

quick kiss of welcome at night,
the eager call Of Daddy!

the table.
"Old age brings only lone
illness to bachelors. Living ex-
penses are higher for them. In
surance tables show that suicide
and insanity are more pre-
valent among single men than
married.
"a higher tax on bachelors
would be wrong at any time.
Right now. when most OF the
single men are In far away

such taxes would be extremely
unjust"
