gent need for funds. The
j motto is still “For u§ and
for our Allies”. „
i In addition, the need is
more critical than , ever
among liberated peoples
who face the hardest winter
yet. All predictions are that
: there will be more need for
fuel, fond anl clothing than
ever before since the liber
ated nations have not had
itime nor facilities to pro

Part of every dollar contri
