need for used clothing great ■ The need for the used clothing _ ,re collecting through our rhurches and schools,” W. R. noiei local chairman of the Nat f° ! Clothing Collection .said yes is "dramatically empha l-7°d by the following item from Ht; t ost and Found colupin of the leading newspaper in Belgrade, Yugoslavia: ” osT—Woman’s left shoe, size . , o black, oxford, round patch on l{, cjde. Ample reward for its re urn t° No. 112-Street.” Between the line of this adver tisement lies a grim story - a ’ orv which applies not only to the Yugoslav woman who offers Am rfe Reward” for the return of e, Cued old shoe, but to millions on pillions of men, women and child in the war-ravaged lands abroad, he added. T_ them. Mr. Dosher said, the " of a worn shoe, tattered coat !>r "dress, frayed shawl, is now a catastrophe comparable to that “hich they experienced five years -go when Nazi invaders ruined flir homes and stole aU their be l0Such ragged and inadequate ap _arel is all they now have. Deaths frnrn exposure now surpass deaths due to starvation, and the inroads made by epidemic and other di eses upon these unshod, half-clad multitudes is tremendous and steadily growing. Their rags and .alters are all they have to »tart he long hard task of rebuilding their towns and cities, their homes, Ibeir health, their lives—all they ha d in which to receive the free dom which now is theirs again— all they have in which to welcoma and shape the peace which will fol low complete Allied victory, he continued. . . I ■ No new clothing, shoes or bad-' ly needed blankets and bedding will be available to them until their shattered textile mills and looms -re operating once more. Their only change of obtaining despera-l teiy needed apparel and bedding depends on America and Ameri cans. In our closets and attics and other storage places, ’’said Mr. Dosher, “there are thousands of pounds of out-grown, out-moded, but still serviceable suits, dresses, underwear, and shoes and quanti ties of surplus bed- clothing.” Through the United National Clothing Collection, of which Henry J. Kaiser is national chairman and which opened a nation-wide drive on April 1, Americans ara asked to contribute 150,000,000 pounds of surplus material to relieve the tragic needs of these millions of innocent war victims. The drive is the only used cloth ing campaign to be conducted this spring It is to serve ill volunteer war relief agencies and the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration in their program of overseas relief. -V Davis becomes 1 enth Candidate In Race (Continued from Page One) policeman and his family reside at 1009 South Sixth street. The new candidate declared he was proud of his past police ca reer. During 1942 and 1943, he said he experienced some trying times with the heavy traffic in Wilmington being directed by his five-man squad. “Taking into con sideration the small squad and what we had to do and as much as we had to do, I am proud of this record.” Capt. Davis said he likewise was proud of bis “school record,” re ferring to the many years he di rected iraific at Thirteenth and Market streets at New Hanover High school. During his service, he said he was responsible for 7.200,000 school children and “on ly one was hurt while I was on duty.” He said he was confident he had caved .many children’s lives and gave credit to his as sistance from junior traffic offi cers. "Give the old traffic cop a chance,” he said. “He will appre ciate it.” Other candidates include George H. Brinson of 406 North Fifth street, Kingsley Lee King of 705 South Fourth, W. E.

In addition, the company itself gave $10,000, it was reported. Three concerns allied with Kie local shipbuilding industry—W. Si J. Sloan, the U. S. Maritime Com mission office and the Shipyard cafeteria—also contributed a total of $1,040. The campaign at the shipyard was launched on March 15 and con tinued through March 30 with inter est unusually high throughout the yard. One unit, the Employment office, reached and surpassed its quota on the opening day and prac tically all the approximately 50 de partments attained their goal with many going far beyond the original amount asked. Officials in charge of the campaign termed it one of the best ever conducted there. One of the features of the ship yard’s participation in the War fund was the appearance of Sgt. Wil liam Strayhorn, of Wilmington, former engineer-gunner in the Eighth Air Force who spent six months as a prisoner of war of the Germans, at two rallies on March 23. He told of the great services rendered by the American Red Cross to men in service, especially those so unfortunate as to be taken prisoner. Latest tabulations from headquar ters Of the campaign show that New Hanover county residents con tributed more than $127,985 to the Red Cross to surpass the $88,000 quota by approximately $40,000. In addition, many reports are yet to be received from various groups. -V Operators, Miners * May Settle Dispute (Continued from Page One) the recent trend of up-and-down maneuvers. The operators, after first decid ing to stay away from this mor ning negotiations and to submit the case, as stalemated, to the WLB, changed tl\eir minds and at tended. They decided to send a let ter to the board instead. Gloomy predictions were quickly reversed by this statement from Van Horn: “At our meeting this morning, three subcommittees were appoint ed to deal with technical questions under consideration. They report ed back and all reported progress. “We are sending a letter to the war labor board in lieu of the meeting (with the WLB) this aft ernoon. We recessed the confer ence until 11 a.m., Monday. “The three subcommittees will continue in session and report back at that time and we have the belief that a contract can then be concluded.” • ,_ YMCA MEMBERSHIP DRIVE SCHEDULED Completion of the organization to conduct the annual membership campaign of the Wilmington Young Men’s Christian Association was announced yesterday by W.

HOME SERVICE SPECTACLE CO. 1011—BLA, Chestnut »t., Phil.. 5, Pa. the Fire Bomb that falls on Japan 1...THRK MONTHS BIFORI PRARL HARBOR, the Array Air Forces asked Chemical Warfare Service to devise an incendiary bomb better than Germany’s best. Through National Defense Research Committee tire job was assigned to Standard Oil (New Jersey) and other technicians, working with Chemical Warfare Service... 2...M-B9 WAS TM* BOMB finally developed. Length, 19 inches. Weight, 6J^ pounds. In appearance you could easily take it for a piece ofrainspout from the corner of your house. It is so simple it is manufactured in plants which once made fireworks, bed springs, wall paper. Yet it is one of the most destructive fire bombs ever used..; 3...«OOAY, at OftEAT B-29 BASIS, big 500 pound “clusters” of these bombs are loaded into U.S. planes bound for Japan’s indus trial centers. Heavy enough for precise aim ing by the world’s best bombardiers and bomb sights, each big “cluster bomb” holds up to 60 of the M-69 incendiaries. 4...DOWN NEAR THE TARGET/each big bomb opens to free its load of M-69’s. Each, M-69 carries enough of a special jellied gasoline to make a sticky, flaming “pancake” J^-inch thick and 3 feet across... ejecting fiery globs which stick to and burn fiercely on any surface they may hit. 5.7.THE M-69's STREAMING TAIL slows its fall to 225 to 250 feet per second—fast enough to pierce the factory roof; slow enough to keep the incendiary bomb from destroying its own mechanism on impact. One of M-69’s most effective qualities is its ability to carry fire inside the target::; 6...ON THC FACTORY FLOOR a 3 to 5 second time fuse allows the M-69 to fall on its side before it literally “shoots” its searing, cling ing charge of flaming jellied fuel up to 100 feet. As a U.S. General has said.. .“All the Japs can look forward to now is the destruc tion of their war industries!” ON MAftCN t«, 1*43 ... Standard Oil Development Company received the Army v Navy “E” for production achievement. De velopment work on the incendiary bomb described above was cited, os well as other chemical weapons developed in conjunction with the Chemical Warfare Service. Since them 3 stars ham been added.
