No Appeal Planned For Red Cross In Factories

There seems to be some misun- derstanding concerning contrthu- tions to the Red Cross that were made in the Community and War Chests drive last Fall, according tot Austin l.. Adams, President Of the Community and War chests. The ordinary contribution to Con- munity and War Chests, Inc. did not include anything for the Red Cross. However. payroll deductions pledges made in all the factories are divided 75 percent to the Com munity and War Chests, Inc. and g percent to the Red Cross.
 There is no plan for Q Red Cross solicitation in the factories" adds John M. Burrall, chairman of local Red Cross chapter. You may, however, be called upon at your house, as the canvasSer has no way of knowing that you have already given. If you have made a contribution through the factory and feel that contribution is suf- ficient, simply tell the canvasser, give him or her the name and place of occupation of the donor so we may check and the record and he will not bother you fur ther.

 Miss Delaney has been with the Civilian Defense authorities since a0a2 ag Q paid employe anc is exc pected to resign shortly to assdme her new duties as a member of the rehabilitation service. She will re- eeive . full time salary which will he paid by the city.
 Plans for the local office, which w1ll be opened along side the draft boards in the city hall basement, we're formulated some weeks ago by Che Mayor and other local authori- eies. Purpose of the office is as source of information and aid dis hrrsement for all returning war vet- OEans and war workers.
 Problems confronting returning veterans will be handled through the office from which point refer ence to the various agencies already set up thror- 'aout the city to handle such problems will be originated The need for such an information center has already been proven to be of vital necessity because of the multiple problems confronting the many returning servicemen relative to unemployment, training, illness and other like matters. It has been stated that an unofficial estimate of the number of ex-servicemen now Hoturned to Waterbury totals 800.
 The rehabilitation problem which will confront the nation and its component parts, such as Water bury, is expected to reach tremen- dous portions. Many veterans re- turning at this date, 1t is revealed, are confronted with almost innum- erable problems relative to their final discharge and social and em- ployment readjustment to civilian life.
 Countless agencies have been set up in all communities of the coun- try to handle most of these prob 1ems and the setting up of an in- formation office is for the purpose of referring the individual to one of these agencies.
 The federal government and state authorities have already establish ed sources for aid to returning serv- Acemen and women as well as needy civilians.
 The State of Connecticut, one of Che leaders in rehabilitation work in the country already has head quarters set up in the Odd Fellows Bldg, on North Main street. This agency will work in conjunction with all veterans bureau and other Bike agencies, in Waterbury. Medical ltreatment, reemploymnet and train ing problems and certain amount of monetary aid is offered by this latter agency.
 It w.s stated today that Miss De- fancy will for the present work alone with the possibility of an as- sistant being appointed as the scope of the work expands. Miss De- fancy before her employment with the Civilian Defense headquarters was connected with the State De- partment of Welfare. She resides al i 19 Plaza avenue.
