meeting in Cleary College auditor
ium Thursday evening voted to
change store hours to meet the
needs of industrial wpkers.

trips to homes in other commune
ties. Saturday night the stores
will be closed at o'clock, leaving
clerks free for that evening.

tions of those employed in indus
try, %. stores, many of them APP
parel shops, will be open until

til noon. More merchants are ex-
pected TO adopt this system since

ings and other housework.
New Monday hours were left OPP
tional to the merchants but agree
ment on the Friday-Saturday hour

Exclusively yours: Eddie Cantor,
father of the tremendously success
full March of Dimes which has rails
cd millions for infantile paralysis
sufferers, is about to launch a
new campaign. With already re-
ceived approval from the OWL,
Eddie hopes to enlist all of the ma
tion's IL million war workers as
Five Minute Men" Here's the
way it works, Cantor figuring:
Twelve million war workers do
nate five minutes of their lunch
period every day to their jobs.
That's so million minutes a day,
six million hours week, 3l2 mil
lion hours a year. At the present
production rate, the increase of
ships and planes and tanks could
be sent to astronomical figures with
an added six million man-hours a
week. It's a short cut to victory" "
says Cantor. "A march of patriotic,
precious minutes"
