Clothing Collection
To Get Under Way
Here On April l

The Rev. ]. Carl Fritz has been
appointed Coolidge chairman of the
United National Clothing Collec-
ton drive for War Relief which
will start April 1 and continue
through April 80. The clothing
collection is a united effort on the
part of United Nations Relief and
Rehabilitation Administration and
various voluntary war relief agen-
cies of the United States to secure
the maximum quantity possible of
good used clothing for free distri-
button to needy and destitute men,
women and children in war-devas-
tated countries.
Throughout war-torn areas cloth
ing is very scarce, or threadbare
and worn out. More than 1885,
100000 are in liberated or to be
liberated nations of Europe which
are in dire need of clothing. Of
these more than 10000, 900 are chill
dren. Because of the demands
of armed forces and civilian needs,
manufacture of clothing in the
United States or other countries
to relieve those distressed peo-
pie will not get under way for some
time it was pointed out by Off
cials of the collection drive. This
means the needy in war-devesta-
ted countries must depend on the
help of the American people.
Those having used clothing they
wish to contribute toward this
cause are asked to communicate
with Rev. Fritz.

Close Tomorrow
Pinal County far short of
100000 quota, as drive
nears end. All who can,
are urged by their district
chairmen, to give more.

With the National Red Cross
Drive drawing to close not a
town in Pinal County has made its
quota to date. All quotas were
doubled and some more than doub-
led this year because of the urgent
need of Red Cross funds. It Is
felt, however, by those in charge,
that is everyone in the county will
make last supreme effort Pinal
county quota may be reached.
Those who have already given are
requested by the chairmen of their
various districts to consider the
need for Red Cross funds and,
If they can afford to, give again.
The county report to Thursday
was as follows: Coolidge, quota
$6.5OO, collected $4,000; Florence,
quota $500, collected $3655; Casa

with first aid requirements in each

days; 60,366 capture parcels with
basic toilet needs and comforts for
newly captured prisoners; millions
of cigarettes; 1000 garden seed
kits, and a release parcel for each
man when he is freed by the Allied
armies in liberated areas.
Packing food parcels is story
in itself. Four factories have been
producing over 100000 finished
packages a week, using the services
of 1000 volunteers, many of whom
have relatives who are prisoners

Control Lifting
 Red Liqht Noted

Washington, Dec. 20-(UP)- Secretary of Labor Lewis B. Sch wellenbach warned today that re- moval of price and rent controls could send the cost of living through the roof" within six months.
 In a statement submitted to the Senate Small Business Committee, Schwellenbach urged the contin- uance of price control until ample supplies of consumer goods appear on dealers shelves.
 He warned that labor unrest will increase if prices go up.
 He characterized the rent situa- ton as most serious" adding that vacancies are now at the lowest point in history.
 Nothing is more disheartening to the veteran coming home than to discover that he can't find a place to live with his wife and children" he said.
 The labor secretary said that everyday goods" that consumers need have gone up about B per cent in price, a figure one-half of the rise in prices during the first world war. He added that pay en- velopes are getting smaller as work ing hours are reduced in the shift to peacetime industries.
