CLOTHING DRIVE OFFICIALS NAMED — A provisional executive commit tee of local war relief organization leaders met yesterday afternoon to plan a coordinated clothing drive, chose Wilbur R. Dosher, R. A. Dunlea, Emory H. Southerland and Robert Dannenbaum to head its operating subcommittees and defined its objective as the col lection during April of one item of clothing from every person in New ‘Hanover county. Convening in the conference room of the Community Chest and Council, the committee formulated tentative plans to induce County residents to bring clothing contri butions to schools, churches and other centers during the first half oi April and to conduct a house-to house canvass throughout the month’s last two weeks. The latter phase, probably to be conducted by the Junior Chamber of Com merce and the Senior Fraternity of the Brigade Boys’ Club, will be modeled in its operation after the Jaycees’ 1945 waste-paper drives, which were successful be yond expectations. The drive, to furnish clothes for 130,000,000 needy Europeans and Asiatics, of whom 30,000,000 are declared by international relief agencies to be virtually without ciorning, will gei unuer way i*mi a publicity campaign following the Easter-Monday holiday. After its termination, the take will be for warded to North Carolina head quarters and relayed thence to the national organization headed by Henry J. Kaiser. The national goal is 150,000,000 pounds of clothing. The local ob jective, it was decided, would be more meaningful if stated in terms of useful articles of raiment. The items most desired will be brought to public attention later. The subcommittees, which will convene separately during the next fortnight and report to another full committee meeting March 28, are as follows: Collections: Wilbur R. Dosher (chairman of the executive com mittee) chairman, George Willard (schools), J. B. Huntington (chur ches) Thurston Davis (transporta tion), Cecil Lewis (shipyard) and represntatives of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Co., and other large establishments to be select ed later: Publicity: R. A. Dunlea, chair man, with assistants to be selected: Shipping: Emory H. Souther land, chairman, A. C. Nichols and Addison Hewlett, Sr., with Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Air Line representatives to be selected: Reports: Robert Dannenbaum, chairman, with other members to be selected. Attending representatives of agencies and civic clubs, expected to be joined by all like organiza tions locally active in the drive, included Adam Smith, of Rotary, and W. E. Yopp, of the Lions’ club. SERVICE NOTES WARSAW, March 14.—Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Currie have been noti fied that their son, Lt. David E.

A “kick - off” breakfast to offi cially open Wilmington’s 194; American Red Cross campaign wil be served leaders and workers o all divisions at St. Paul’s Lutherai parish house at 8 a.m. Monday Robert Strange campaign chair man, announced yesterday. Appealing to Wilmingtonians foi their support in the effort to raise $88,000 here, Mr. Strange said •’let’s get away from the idea o giving something away when w contribute to Red Cross. If all wil assume the attitude of supporting Americanism in which Red Cros plays such a tremendous humani tarian part, they will find it very easy to contribute generously be cause of the personal significance of Red Cross support. “This, perhaps has been more emphatically expressed in the ‘Me mo for Joe’ idea than in any other way Red Cross has been present ed. To illustrate, said Mr. Strange $200,000,000 divided by the approxi mate 10,000,000 men and women ir service is approximately $2 per person in uniform. Not every man in uniform requires Red Cross in the form of blood plasma, nursing or home service, but it is available for them and their families if they require it.” Saying the outlook for the drive was most encouraging, the chair man continued, “Again emphasiz ing the personal significance of oui giving 'Memo for Joe’ points ou1 —- > that it costs $7 per second. When we make cur contribution we can consider we are making it specifi cally for someone close to us who is in uniform. That situation pre vails in every home in the United 1 States, for if it is not a son, hus [ band or daughter, there is at least ■ a nephew.” The schools have asked, at the ' request of the pupils, if a school room may name one or more “Joes” to be honored by their con tributions and were assured by Mr. : Strange that this was permissible. : Factories and stores, in increas ! ing numbers are requesting sup plfes of the certificates, he report ed.

But the changed natural light as a storm ap proaches is supposed to make bees get busy and fly home. They may be weather-wise or not. But you’ve simply got to be!—for Spring weather demands an oil change in the car you cannot replace, and Conoco N*A motor oil will oil-plate your engine for extreme resistance to wear— That’s really how to hold down carbon, gum and sludge formation. That’s really how to keep up engine power. That's really how to get good mileage from your oil and gasoline. The special life-giving nature of oil-plating comes from patented Conoco oil’s additional * ingredient—a climax of notable research. Thia effort developed the magnet-like effect that makes metal attract oil-plating—lubricant fastened square in the path of friction. And you can credit the same intensive research with mak ing your oil-plated engine defy corrosion. Then both worst causes of wear are curbed. And so you’re safer from lay-ups —junking— walking! Surely Conoco oil is worth its slight extra cost. Oil-plate today.
