Response To Plea
For CT Yule Boxes
Is Reported Good

The response to the appeal of
the Wilmington chapter of the
American Red Cross to groups and
others to fill Christmas boxes with
gifts for soldiers in hospitals has
been good, officials in charge of
the program, said yesterday.
Donors are asked to wrap each
gift in an individual box and label
it. When placed together in a larg-
er, outside box, this box should be
tied securely but not wrapped, it
was said.
Wilmington churches, through
their auxiiaries, have been asked
TO participate in the program and
the articles most appreciated are
pocket dictionaries, nuts, chewing
gum, candy, cigarettes, cookies
and pocket comics. This needn't be
the limit, of course. Go as far as
you like.
The total boxes needed is not
as great as the stocking total last
year. At most, 700 will meet the
need.
Just call Red Cross headquar-
tiers in the customhouse, 2-2683
and let it be known how many
boxes your group will fill.

announced yesterday by RI. Poole,

ayers of the hospital to the Green's
boro concern for the construction
of the service building, with the
understanding that the board will
increase its contribution by approx
i1nately $4,000 to complete tn e
work.
When bids were opened at the
hospital last Thursday, the low bid
exceeded the available funds for
construction purposes. The Fed
eral Works agency had agreed
previously to provide $4,000 as a
grant tn the hospital, to aid in
financing the project. No addition
al federal funds can be allocated
for the service unit. Vickers said.
Contracts for heating and plumb
ing work we're awarded to j. R.
Bagwell, of Durham, on a bid of
$1,000.
Under the revised plan of financ-
ing. the building will be erected
at cost of approximately $108600.
The service building will be two
story fireproof structure, with ex-
terror walls of brick. It will contain
dining room and kitchen facilities
for the hospital staff and patients.
The general contract allows $50
days for completion of the work.
