Smarting Monday, October 18, the
Coos County War Cheat under direc
tion of the National War Fund, Inc.,
will campaign the city to raise Co
quille’s quota of 85350.00 as set by
the national organization.
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.
But all of us will be
moved even more strongly by the
realization that the war will surely
be won more quickly, and fewer
lives will be lost, as long as our
fighters and all our Allies and their

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. The beat part
of it all is that he now caught up
with his wife, for like her, he has for
the second time won the cup and it
now belongs to him, in other words,
both championship cup» now belong
to them. Mrs. McLarrin won per
manent possession of the ladies cup
in 1841.
Jack won Sunday by a slight mar
gin in a well played game.
Don Gillespie, Clem Howard and
Dutch Clinton have their names en
graved on the cup, they having won
the chib championship in pjqvtouss
years.
