Organization for a solicitation
of Ashland in the $2,000 Red Cross
war relief fund drive will be com
pleted at a 7:30 o'clock breakfast
at the Lithia hotel Friday morn
ing, according to announcement
by co-Chairmen Theo J. Norby
and Ralph Billings.
The current drive is to raise
$50,000,000 nationally to aid men
in the armed forces, increase
stocks of mendicinai and clothing
supplies and to train thousands of
civilians in war work. Fifteen per
cent of the funds raised here will
remain with the county chapter
for local emergency work and to
buy supplies for local projects.
This year particular emphasis
has been placed upon the Red
Cross welfare services to the Uni
ted States armed forces. The
chairmen pointed out that since
it is the only agency that is per
mitted by law to handle the per
sonal problems of the men in uni
form and give them special care,
whether on the field, in the hos
pital, or to their families on the
home front, the Red Cross has
become a great factor in main
taining the morale of the army
and navy.
The gift of human blood has al-
so become another responsibility
pi the Red Cross, Dried blood
plasma is being manufactured to
day out of whole blood through
collection centers in key cities and
sent out by the Red Cross to mili
tary hospitals and to our ships at
sea wherever American forces are
stationed. The army and navy
have asked the Red Cross for 200,-
000 units of blood and the organi
zation plans to see that they re
ceive them.
Chairmen Norby and Billings
have expressed their confidence in
Ashland's support of the drive for
funds and point out that this will
be our chance as civilians to as
sume a share in the coming bat
tle and to prove the strength of
our community and our nation.
Waste Paper Needed
As Raw Material
"The boxes that carry the bul-
lets to the front are made of last
Sunday's newspapers," OPA Ad-
ministrator Henderson recently
said in a public appeal for the
conservation of waste paper.
It was pointed out that waste
paper is the raw material from
which is made the corrugated box
containers that carry the weap
ons of war to the men on Ameri
ca's fighting fronts. Even before
the country was in the war, the
government was using one third
of the nation's paper box produc
tion and now it is estimated that
a collection of 14 billion pounds of
waste paper will be necessary this
year in order to make boxes
enough.
Fifty pounds of waste paper a
month from every family in Amer
ica is the quta which Mr. Hender
son hopes will be collected for
war needs.
Aside from the recent contest
at the Washington school which
netted over eight tons of waste
paper, there has been no organ
ized collection in Ashland.
Al
though there are as yet no defin
ite plans, it is possible that the
assistance of the schools may be
enlisted to carry out further col
lections.
