COMMUNITY CHEST RETURNS ARE HIGH Show Oversubscription By Firms Operating Under Self-Soliciting Plan Earlv returns of Wilmington’s ‘■all out United community and War Chest drive continue to show large oversubscriptions by firms operating under the self-soliciting plan. An early report received at the Chest headquarters yesterday morning showed the Ethyl - Dow Chemical company oversubscrib ing 160 per cent of its quota. In a letter received by the Chest board, G. E. Cantewell, plant man ager, stated: “The Ethyl - Dow Chemical com pany and employes have a set-up that provides for contributions as requested by the United Commun ity and War Chest. Individual so licitations are required to meet such requests. We are enclosing our quota card, together with our checks, and request that the entire amount be accepted by you as from the employes at Ethyl Dow. Since the amount exceeds the quota set by the rating commit tee. I believe we are entitled to an honor roll certificate. Chest officials announced that the honor roll certificate given to every firm that oversubscribes the accepted quota, prior to their so licitation, will be presented to these firms at the report meet ings. The Sutton - Council Furniture company, of the commercial and mercantile division, turned in its complete return, and subscribed 100 per cent of the quota set by the rating committee of that di vision. The management of the firm was co-operative with the board, and enthusiastic about the unit plan. “It gives the firms something to shoot at, and we find that the employes are very enthusiastic about producing the concerns quota, said C. K. Council mem ber of the firm. Don’t miss this important opportunity to buy Christmas Gifts at a real savings. The entire stock of the late Andrew M.

Cne of its major plans is to se cure labor speakers for church meetings, and clergymen to speak at labor gatherings. It is hoped that this type of committee can be established in some other Ameri can cities, for there is a feeling among church leaders that one of the weakest links in American life is the tie-up between organized Christianity and organized labor. During the past fifteen months, the American Bible Society has sent 17,184 Bibles, 658,240 New Test aments, and 361,466 Gospel portions to chaplains in the Army and Navy for distribution to men m the serv ices overseas and at home. Dur ing this period, a new issue of the New Testament was produced for the Merchant Marine—similar to the Navy Testament but bearing the Merchant Marine insignia. According to Dr. Ralph E. Dif fendorfer, of the Board of Missions of the Methodist church, the war has caused no withdrawal of Meth odist missionaries from India, Portuguese East Africa, the Bel gian Congo, Angola, Southern Rho desia, Cuba, Central America Bra zil, Argentina, Uruguay, Bolivia, Chile, or West China. “In fact,” he says, “many missionaries tem porarily out of Malaya, Occupied China, and Japan have been reas signed and are giving their skills and services to the churches and peoples of these other lands. For instance, all our missionaries who were formerly in Burma are now preaching, teaching, or carrying on medical work in India.” _ According to the findings of a commission on religious work, re porting recently to the American Frotestant Hospital association, in St. Louis, a majority of medical doctors find a better mental and emotional attitude in patients who have religious faith than in those who do not. “The patient who has faith in his church has a much brighter mental attitude, is better able to cope with pain, has more interest in recovery, and cooper ates more than one who does not,” is the general feeling of physicians. That there should be more consul ation between physicians and clergymen, and the devlopment of cooperation and confidence between them, looking toward the better ment of the attitude and spirit oi tne patient, seems to be generally accepted by both professions. The Christian churches of the United States and of Great Brit ain are united in war aims and in post-war aims, according to Dr. Walter W. Van Kirk, of the Fed eral Council of the Churches of Christ in America, recently re turned from a visit to England. The churches are united, he says, first, in a determination to win the present war; second, that the peace ,terms must not reflect any spirit of ruthlessness or hatred; third, that there must be a new and better future for all present colonies. Also, according to Dr. Van Kirk, the churches are agreed that “the church’s distinctive task is that of evangelism, the strength ening of the bonds of Christian fellowship, and the ministry of reconciliation. They are agreed that the shape of things to come must be influenced by the Christ ian conception of the dignity of man as a child of God. They are agreed that political and economic reconstruction apart from social justice and spiritual regeneration will not avail to create the kind of post-war world for which Chris tians pray.’" The China International Famine Relief Committee, of which the Rev. C. Bertram Rappe, of Chica go, Methodist missionary to Chung king, is chairman, is cooperating with the Nationalist Government of China in carrying out a number of extensive irrigation and canal projects in five countries of Free China. The government furnishes the funds, and the International Committee the engineers and oth er personnel. Recently this group opened at Santai a large canal with three locks; they raise boats sixty feet and take them around dangerous rapids in the river which formerly was notorious for its wrecks. Other irrigation proj ects are helping increase wheat and rice production by 40 per cent. The Committee has also organized 140 cooperative societies and is carry ing on rehabilitation work among families of soliders who lost their lives in the present war. -V War Price Ceilings Talked At Meeting An open discussion on war price ceilings and the meat shortage in Wilmington was held at a meet ing of the County Nutrition com mittee in the home demonstration agents office at the customhouse.
