All of us can thank the neighbor-
hood business man for doing a
whale of wartime job. Short of
help and with many empty shelves,
he has striven to give each family
its fair share. He has labored late
and often over ration records and
changes in regulations. He has
been co-operative.and uncomplain-
ing. Remembering those away
from the homes of the families he
serves, he keeps on buying War
Bonds-for keeps.
Your dealer has had plenty of
company in all walks of life -.

Red Cross Drive In March Will Raise $666,OOO
New Haven Campaigns Success Depends On Maintaining Level Of
 1944 Giving

A quota of $666,OOO has been set as the goal for the 1945 War Fund Drive of the New Haven Chapter, American Red Cross, Will liam B. Cumbart, chapter chair man, announced today. The drive, as in previous years, will be held during the month of March.
 The local quota, MT. Cumbart revealed, is eight per cent lower than last years figure of SPA, ,OOO. No reduction has been effected in the national quota for 1945, which is again $2OO,OOO,OOO.
 Last years local quota was met only after a special supplementary campaign, known as the "Chevron of Honor" was conducted by the New Haven Chapter. Actually, without the special campaign, the 1914 drive raised the approximate amount which is this years goal.
 ''It will be extremely important therefore," Mir. Cumbart said in the announcement, ''that the pub. lie maintain the level of giving which prevailed in the regular 1944 drive if we are to reach our quOtf this year. We most certainly mus do everything in our power tt avoid the necessity of another

 THE TRANSFERS give boost to OleOmargarine as a butter sub- stitute in the January issue of their official publication, edited by Lester Hunt.
 "We have opposed in years past, when there was plenty of butter available, the popularizing of oleomargarine," the magazine ad- mits, ''but now Oleo is the only out for working people. The tax, if removed from oleomargarine, would help working folk. 'We owe nothing to the dairy farmers and their setup in Washington, but we owe a lot to the working people to try to keep down the cost of living, especially when there isn't butter enough to give the average family one ounce per person per week."
 Pres. Daniel J. Tobin, greeting the membership for New Years, advised members to prepare them selves for sufferings, setbacks and privations ''greater than we have yet endured," and that the sacri- fees in the U. s. in wartime are ''smal and trivial compared to the
