Kodiak has a job to do = @ simple job for a great cause. That job is to raise $3000 for the National War Relief fund.
 Nearly everybody, by this time, knows about the National War Fund. For the benefit of those who came in late, here is the story in a nutshell:
 The National War Fund is a pooling of the leading war relat- ed appeals, except the Red Cross, to provide essential war time services to our armed forces, merchant marine and prisoners of war and to supply essential wartime relief to our Allies and to refugees.
 The National War Fund is government-endorsed but not government-controlled. It oper- ates in full accord with the Pres ident's War Relief Control Board. Every town and town  ship is included in the appeal and the money will go for the USO, United Seamen's Service, War Prisoners Aid, Relief So- cieties of Belgian, Britain,

new YORK RETAIL
SALES SET MARK

NEW YORK. Dec. 10. - up ~
Christmas shopping during the past
week boosted retail sales in the
New York metropolitan district to
the highest one-week total in his
Dry.
Merchants expect even higher
sales during the coming week -
additionally the period for the
heaviest holiday gift buying.
Bernard F. Gimbel, president Of
Gimbel Brothers, Inc, said the
sales trend was similar at that
company's stores here and in other
centers.
1.-The coming week should be the
peak he said, for the entire
Gimbel group.
Executives of other New York
stores also expressed the opinion
that the high point in Christmas
shopping will come during the next
six days.
Thursday marked the all-time
peak for a single days sales in
New York department stores. At
R. H. Macy & Co., sales Thursday
topped $1,000,000 for the first time
in a single day. Some stores re-
ported sales as much as 80 per
cent above those Of the same date
last year.
Christmas shopping started early
this year, and many merchants
thought that it would taper off.
But buying for domestic gifts be-
gan almost as soon as the deadline
for shipping overseas packages
was past.
