( 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. ------------- •-------------- Game Law Violation Draws Heavy Fine W.
