PORTER PROJECT
 GETS UNDERWAY
Official Orders Issued to Proceed With COnstruc=
 ton; Progress Made

A formal Notice to Proceed" has been received by the City Construc- tion Company from the regional office of the Federal Housing office authorizing them to proceed with the construction of the housing pro- ject now well into development at the Porter estate tract
 The formal notice, which was for warded by Sumner K. Wiley, re- gional director of the FILA, was merely to confirm a previous verbal authorization issued to the contrac- tors, upon which they have proceed ed with the work.
 The original contract given to the City Construction Company, who proved to be lowest bidders, was granted to the company on Novem- Der 4th, and stipulated that con- struction was to be stared on Mo- vember 9th and called for its con- clusion as of January 9, 1914. The only clause extending the termina- ton date relates to the lawns and the planting to be set-up. The con- pany is given until June 20, 1944 to complete this latter phase of the project.
 The project is proceeding on time in its construction it is reported with a great many of the housing units already constructed. However. most of the detailed interior work is just now getting underway. The Porter estate projects call for the construction of some 137 housing units plus the addition of a com munity house.

 Endorsements
 The clothing program has been en- dorsed by state religious leaders of all faiths.
 Because of the charitable and humane purposes of the collection the churches should be ready to take special and active interest in the welfare of our fellow-mdn even in the midst of war. May 1 sug- 9eSt you contact the local chairlnen and offer to assist him in every possible way to make this Drive a success" Said Bishop Maurice F. McAuliffe in communication to all priests in the state.
 A letter signed by leaders of all Protestant churches has been mailed to all pastors urging them tc con- tact local salvage committees i'm mediately and help to initiate this drive to collect used clothing to be- shipped by the Government to needy people in war torn countries"
 Writing in the Jewish Ledger RabDl Abraham J. Feldman made the point that ITO 'clothe the naked is one of the primary ethical obligations of man. Each of the great Prophets of religion stressed the binding character of this duty and each condemned those who failed in it.
 'In this critical hour of human history, when so much of the ethical idealism of men is in eclipse, it behooves us who are fighting for the decencies of life to exemplify these especially to the liberated peoples and those victimized by the beasts of Berlin, and we can do so by the concern we show. the aid we give, the humanness we manifest. Among the most palpable demon- strations we may make of these qualities will be our performance of the duty enjoined by religion ana

morality to 'clothe tne naked'-no less than to feed the hungry and shelter the homeless. T appeal to all who would listen and heed-Let us unite in compassion as we are strong and united for combat. Send clothing to synagogues and churches for trans-shipment to those who are so greatly in need of it.

Clothing is seriously needed for relief of war victims abroad" MT. Seth Low Pierrepont, chairman of the State Salvage Committee, eX- plained. ''In addition, there is an abnormal demand for rags ill indus try, where they are converted into roofing and flooring, and used in tact as wiping rags"
 MT. Pierrepont complimented the many volunteer groups which have done and are doing clothing collec tions. He pointed out that the special clothing drive is designed to take care of an immediate need this winter, and was not intended to replace the regular programs car- ried on by some church and fra ternal organizations.

 The salvage organization of the state is counting heavily or the actlve leadership of the clergy ln this special drive. MT. Pierrepont has asked that in every city the clergymen divide up the city into sections in which each church will undertake the canvass every home, make collections of clothing and rags, and sort these items for clean ing and sale.

Anti-Inflation Moves will check
but not halt the imitation spiral,
United Business Service predicted.
The Presidents strong stand on
prices will unquestionably stiffen
resistance of the War Labor Board
to wage demands, the agency added.
Similarly, the rail rate cut is ex-
pected to spike demands for higher
railroad wages, and help control in
dustrial prices by lowering trans
portation costs. The war bond drive
also will help.

acts as a semi-conductor of electric
