Saving Proves
Easy as Sewing,
Woman Insists

JACKSON, MICH. Although she
has made her living for years as a
dressmaker, Mrs. Myrtle Ann Dib-
BILE is as adept with hammer and
saw as with a needle and scissors.
For proof she soon will have a
seven-room house completed prac-
tically entirely by her own efforts.
Faced with housing problem,
Mrs. Dibble decided that If she
could cut and sew dresses she also
could "run up' a house for herself
and her two young daughters.
Work was commenced last May
when the basement was dug, the
only time Mrs. Dibble called in pro-
fessional help. She mixed her own
cement, the two daughters. Laur-

them. More than 1000 blocks were
required for the basement. A

Scrlbed II as pretty good job. "
AS the next step, Mrs. Dibble pur.
chased green oak logs and had
them cut into boards at sawmill.
She fitted them herself, displaying
blistered palms as evidence that
green oak 'saws plenty hard -
Driving nails into that wood was
'the hardest job l ever took sn,"
she adds.
Mrs. Dibble did all the electrical
work in the basement :nd plans to
wire the entire house. She also will
do her own plumbing.
A divorcee, Mrs. Dibble used her
life savings to start the house. With
expenses running higher than an
ticipated, Mrs. Dibble was forced to
return to dressmaking to get money
to finish the house.

PHILADELPHIA, PA. - AS a

Philadelphia churches are engaged
in a novel experiment Of provid-
ing 'portal-to-pew'' transportation
services.
The program involves buses char
tered by churches to make sched-
uled stops at pre-arranged street
corners TO pick UP parishioners,
carrying them to church and then
returning them home after serv-
ices.
The IS churches hire from one to
four buses regularly every Sunday.
Clergymen admit they are prepared
to "cater'' to members as means
Of maintaining and increasing at
tendance.
Attendance at Holmesburg Meth
odist church has been boosted 80 to
40 per cent in the year the church
has used chartered buses.
Historic Gloria Del (Old Swedes)
Protestant Episcopal church. situ-
ated in a neighborhood formerly
residential but now entirely COM
mercial, also has resorted to char
tered buses.
Old Swedes bus riders pay mini
mum of 10 cents a ride, with ''the
sky the limit On a rainy Sunday
one grateful parishioner slipped the
driver a $40 bill.
Church officials agree that the
transportation problem is more
pressing now than ever and that it
affects all denominations. Many
families have moved from the old
neighborhood. yet still desire to
attend their old church In other
cases, public transportation is not
available to residents of outlying
areas and new residential districts.

Farm Leaders Laud
Red Cross in Urging
Support in Campaign

Paying tribute to the Red Cross
as a "good neighbour" Clinton p.
Anderson, secretary of agriculture,
has urged rural America to support
the 1947 fund campaign.
"It is a neighbor who works for a
better local community and, at the
same time, for better world
community" Anderson declared.
Rural people are grateful to the
Red Cross. Rural America knows
the value of good neighbors and
gets real satisfaction from coopera-
ting with them"
Two other farm leaders, A. S.
Goss, master of National Grange,
and Edward A. O'Neal, president
of American Farm Bureau fedora
ton, also endorsed the current
drive.
Goss characterized the Red Cross
service as indispensable" point
ing out that throughout a large
part of the world the suffering and
need arising from war are almost
as great as during the days Of con-
flict.''
1.-THE great work of the American
Red Cross, whose principal objec-
tive is the a1leviation of human
misery, has become legendary"
O'Neal asserted in his tribute. mo
matter how great the need" he con-
tinued, ''it has always been able to
accomplish its mission Of mercy be-

Rural America Has Major Role
In Annual Red Cross Campaign
Agency to Stress
-Four Main Fields
Of Service in 1917
WNU Features.

Rural America-the provi-
sion stockpile of the nation
has an especially important
share in the current fund cam
paign of the American Red
Cross, officials at the Wash
ington, D. c., national head
quarters emphasize.
With 1947 campaign goal Of go
million dollars, the Red Cross again
is relying upon the rural areas and
the small towns which center the
farming communities for substan-
tial support in attaining its quota.
Because 1947 will be in the nature
Of "shakedown cruise" for ma
tion newly returned to. peacetime,
and because in the uncertainty of
the postwar existence many Ameri-
cans are inclined to question the
need to support even the most de-
serving of organizations, Red Cross
officials have related the answers
to some of the why's of the fund
campaign.
Major Red Cross responsible
ties will be four-fold in 19474S.
They include service to veter-
ans and their families; to men
in army and navy hospitals; to
men serving with the armed
forces overseas or in this cOun-
try, and to the community.
During the war period Of 1941-46,
Red Cross was supported by contri-
buttons in the amount of $784, 151 900
in five fund. campaigns. In numbers,
rural community chapters-2,908 of
them-account for more than three
quarters of all the Red Cross chap
ters in America. With the over
whelming majority of their work.
ers unpaid volunteers the Red Cross
said, these smaller chapters were
the backbone of the ARC during the
war and will continue to be so in
peace.
Expand Services.
In the coming year. on greatly
reduced budget, the Red Cross will
conduct a program exceeding any
previous peacetime operation in its
entire history.
Services for veterans and the
armed forces and their families will
be the major concern of the Red
Cross. The increasing need for
assistance to veterans will continue
for years. Approximately 1.100, 600
veterans and their families were
assisted by Red Cross last year
through it's workers in ,schapters
alone. Thousands more were aided
by Red Cross. workers in hospitals.
Under authorization of Veterans
administration, there are 155 Red
Cross field directors and assistant
field directors in los VA hospitals.
Nearly $50 Red Cross claims ex-
perts are stationed in IVA offices
throughout the nation, in Puerto
Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines.

For cooked dishes, apples and
