Red Cross Aids
Many Servicernen

Life seemed barely worth living
to the blind wife of Florida in
ductee when the American Red
Cross came to her rescue. Entirely
dependent upon her hu b d
since she had lost her sight three
years earlier, without relatives,
and fearful that someone might
steal her few possessions, the
respondent wife was unable to
care for herself.
The door was bolted when the
Red Cross chapters Home Serv-
ice worker called at the. request
of Red Cross field director to
whom the serviceman had ap-
pealed for help at his base. Afraid
to leave the house, the blind wo-
man also was afraid to light a
match and therefore could not
cook her meals. Neighbors had
augmented her dwindling supply
of food and paid her rent.
Red Cross action came fast. To
meet immediate needs a supply
of canned food was provided,
since that did not require cook
ing. Later, arrangements were
made through the Lighthouse for
the Blind for church and Elks
Auxiliary members to bring hot
meals to her home several times
a week.
Meanwhile, the serviceman ap.
piled for a dependency dicharge
that was granted after a Red
Cross report on home conditions
had been supplied.

Cross assistance, the Akron, Ohio
Chapter spent more than a year

to collect the necessary evidence
to establish her right to a pen

These are but two of hundreds
of thousands of instance ir

Price Fixing Charged; Local Union Named

Washington tR)- A duaA conspiracy to fix prices in A. laska's big salmon industry was charged Monday by the Federal Trade Commission.

 Named in the complaint are 43 canning companies, II fshermen's unions, the in- dustry's trade association, A laska Salmon Industry, Inc, Seattle, and it's managing director, w. c. Arnold.
 The commission cites the association and the unions as the "media'' whereby sal mon canners and certain sal mon fishermen have carried out alleged unlawful price fixing and other trade re- straining practices.
 Spokesmen for both the in ldustry and a cited union said the case is a challenge of the historic process ef establish ling fish prices through ne gotiations between representa- tives of the industry and the fishermen.
 The combination of canners and unions charged III the complaint has the capacity and tendency to substantially increase" consumer prices. fer canned salmon, the commits sion said. The companies named can or pack between 85 and 95 percent of the total salmon produced in Alaska, the complaint said.
 It also charged that unions have annual agreements with the association to fix the an- nual prices for salmon. This alleged combination. the eom- plaint added prevents "any and all competition" among fishermen members of the unions, between union and. non-union fishermen in the sale of salmon.
