 Vit0IIy Needed

The work of the National War Fund agencies in no way duplicates that of the UNRRA according to report made public today by Vim throp w. Aldrich, National War Fund president who has just re- turned from a trip to Europe. He visited England, France, Holland, Czechoslovakia and Germany.
 Austin L. Adams, president of the Combined War Fund and Com- munity Chest of Waterbury said yesterday that MT. Aldrich, in his report, also stressed the fact that the people of Europe face a crit ical fall and winter.
 Whether they are on their way to normal life by next spring de- pends to a considerable extent on the help the American people give them during these next critical months" MT. Adams said.
 He said further that MT. Al- drichs report included repeated references to the Hack of the or- dinary Essentials of life-shoes, clothing, soap, kitchen utensils, small tools, needles, nails-all the things required for e bare normal existence"
 Privately-supported relief agen- cies of the National War Fund are managing to get substantial quan- titles of these materials into the war-ravaged countries of Europe, MT. Aldrich asserted.
 we are meeting needs that are not met by any other agencies" the National War Fund head said. "Furthermore, the people of Europe who have been aided by American generosity are well aware of the help they have received. They are most grateful to the American peo- ple,"
 MT. Adams, In commenting on the Aldrich report, said today:
 T think 1t most important that the people of Waterbury and the outlying towns understand just how much good their contributions to the Combined War Fund and Com rnunity Chest have already done.
 With the l946 campaign rapidly nearing the starting date-Oct. l- tributed in the past must see, if I feel that those who have con- they analyze the facts carefully, the necessity for continuing the work of the War Fund and Chest here at home as well as among our armed forces and in the countries overseas" Mir. Adams declared.
 The l946 drive, which opens next Monday, will continue through Oct, g with a goal of $Sl6,o0o to con- tinue the operation of Community Chest agencies here at home and the War Fund agencies among our men and women ill uniform and in the war-torn countries of our Eur opean and Asiatic allies.
 Final plans for the operation of the coming campaign will be com pleted this week, MT. Adams said, pointing out that the various cam paign divisions have already been set up and the volunteer workers in most cases have been briefed in the operation Of the drive.
