This fund is a Federation of War Philanthropies in support for the far- llung USO—the home away from home for our own fighting men; com forts for the “barbed-wire legion” <<f prisoners of war; food for starving Greece; medical supplies for gallant Russia; aid for the scorched earth of stricken China; assistance for hun dreds of thousands of homeless refu gees. • These, and countless similar calls, are the concern of generous America, and the immediate Usk of the Na tional War Fund, and its affiliated war funds in your own state and your own community. Born of War, and linked to the peace by effective association with local home agencies for health, wel fare and recreation, the National War Fund is a philanthropic federation with three simple aims; first, tq de termine the nature and the extent of the war-related needs; second, to see that everybody has a chance to contribute to the funds required; and third, to channel the sums raised for its member agencies Wherever Amer ican help is currently most needed —enough and on time. Those three aims lead to one objec tive— to help win the war sooner, with a minimum loss of life. Americana will respond as they always have to the appeal of simple humanity.

The McLarrins Are Club Champions Jack McLarrin of the Coquille Val ley County Clhb has every reason to congratulate himself in more ways than one. In the final play off be tween Dutch Clinton, noted valley golfer, and himself last Sunday, Jack won the championship cup of Coquille Valley Country Club.
