Chest Aids
WarPrisOner

AS the war continues and
more CIO members have friends
or relatives who are prisoners of
war overseas, it is reassuring to
know that organizations are at
work continually helping to
make the existence of the men
behind the barbed wire more
comfortable.
Such an organization is War
Prisoners Aid, one of the II Ma
tional War Fund agencies which
receives help from the Greater
Toledo Community War Chest.
Through neutral secretaries,
War Prisoners Aid furnishes
morale building and recreational
facilities to the men held pris-
oners in Axis camps. The re-
quests and wishes of these pris-
oners are granted by the agency
in so far as is possible.
Prisoners have shown particu-
lar interest and appreciation for
religious and educational ma
terial and athletic and musical
equipment. Therefore, the COM
mittee has sent bibles, altars,
hymnals, and other items for
men of all faiths, as we'll as
many kinds of games, athletic
equipment and musical instru-
ments.
The greatest demand, natural
ly, is for something to do to
help make time pass more quick
ly," and SO handicraft materials
are also much in demand. These
serve the double purpose of of
fering interesting pastimes to the
men and helping those disabled
by wounds to learn new trades
that may be useful to them in
the postwar world.
Your gift to the Greater To-
ledo Community War Chest is
not only helping the prisoner of
war, but is bringing aid to the
front, the United Ma
tions front and the home front.
The soldier overseas, as we'll as
the war prisoner, not only bene-
fits from your gift to the Chest,
but knows that his family can
receive assistance from the AZ
local health and welfare agencies
with the Chest.

Lynn Says

The Score Card: You can
save pennies and points if
you watch tn e markets
closely and plan your menus
accordingly Right now you
can use more eggs, pork cuts,
citrus fruit, and winter vege-
tables such as turnips, broc-
coli, green beans and spinach
to perk up your menus.
Be sure to turn, in those
used fats. Your butcher will
pay you for them in both
points and pennies.
Use fresh vegetables and
fruits whenever possible and
save your canned foods for
quick or emergency meals.
February was the birthday
month of enriched bread and
flour. 1t was estimated that
before the war the per capita
consumption of the flour was
81 ounces daily, but it prob
ably is more now because
bread and flours are carry
ing much of the load of other
foods such as meat.

Take Them to Your Butcher.

FEPC Wins And Loses

WASHINGTON (FP) - The
Presidents Committee on Fair

going to need a lot of help if it
is to survive the onslaught of

In the u. S. Senate March "a,

emption from the ssell
amendment to the $4,000, 900, 900

emption which Senator Richard
B. Russell Cd. Ga.) called" as

still, "a Republicans joined III
Democrats to pass it 36 to %.
The % opposition votes included
10 Democrats, mostly poll-tax-

Officials
Win Increase
Continued From Page

Not only did Mr.. Lambs re-

for the company workers; but
it recited that the attorney and
"consultant" for the company,
George D. Welles had taken in
excess of $25,000 as fees" and
salary out of the company dur
ing the year 1943, one such fee
amounting to $4,000 for de-
Tending himself, President Nuf-

charge of salary grabs.
Eric A. Johnston, president of
the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States on the same
day that the Airway salary
grabs were being accomplished
by the top company officials
stated that wages should not be
increased for workers, because
such wage increases were in
flationary.
Employees of the Airway Elec.
trio have received very little in
the way of wage increases in
the past two years and these
only after long delays by the
