Thomas Adams, president of the Deerfieldâ€"Northbrook Rotary club, atâ€" tended the Rotary International conâ€" vention held in Toronto, Canada last week. "In atcordance with the ruling of the Central Committee,"" Mr. Forgan said, "the executive committee of the Chicago Chapter has voted unaniâ€" mously to withdraw from the Comâ€" munity Fund of Chicago and all subâ€" urban community chests in which it has participated in the past. Further, no Roll Call membership campaign will be conducted next fall With the Red Cross campaign scheduled for next March, it will not conflict with other campaigns locally." The combined appeal will be conâ€" ducted independently of other fundâ€" raising â€" campaigns â€" throughout â€" the country and the â€"Red Cross will not participate in any joint financial camâ€" paigns, according to a ruling of the Central Committee of the American National Red Cross, of which Mr. Forgan is a member. Red Cross The month of March, 1943, has been officially designatedâ€"with the approâ€" val of President Rooseveltâ€"as the period for the next membership and fund raising appeal of the American Red Cross, it has been announced by James B. Forgan, chairman of the Chicago Red Cross Chapter. For March Copies of correspondence between" Roosevelt and Norman H. Davis, naâ€" tional Red Cross chairman, in which the basis of the decision to conduct a separate fundâ€"raising appeal is outâ€" lined, have been received by Mr. Forgan. The President wrote: "I fully agree that the Red Cross should m;t:‘iu war fund and memâ€" bership a Is directly and separately to the people and should not particiâ€" pate in any joint fundâ€"raising efforts. With the pressure of wartime work, I feel the Red Cross has made a wise decision to combine the Roll Call with its next War Fund appeal. This will not only be a distinct saving in effort and manpower but ‘will make possible a proper spacing of the other major appeals. "The nation can look forward to the month of Marck, 1943, as Red Cross month. This character of the Red Cross and its responsibilities under international treaty, and its congresâ€" sional charter, are such that the naâ€" tional interests will best be served if the Red Cross maintains direct conâ€" tact with the people for membership and support necessary for its work at home and abroad." This pronouncement from President Roosevelt was in response to a letter from Mr. Davis in which it was pointed out that the Red Cross is now being asked to reconsider the matter of participation in combined campaigns. President Roosevelt expressed himâ€" self as concurring in the stand of the Red Cross as presented to him by Mr. Davis in which the national chairâ€" man said : Fund appeal just concluded, the Red Cross is convinced that it would be unwise to merge its membership and war fundâ€"raising appeals with those of any other organizations." "We are convinced that the Red Cross cannot be considered as a local agency in view of the national and international scope of its work. Neither can it be regarded as a warâ€" time agency alone, as it will continue to serve long after the war. Certainly it should not become merged in speâ€" cial fund raising plans which are creâ€" ated._only_ for _the _war_period... and. which will include, as to numbers, onâ€" ly a small proportion of the commuâ€" nities in which there are Red Cross Chapter and Branches. The Red Cross cannot conduct several different types of campaigns at various times and then have an effective national effort for the rest of the country.

They are muum-w. Binoculars By The Navy ‘The Navy‘s need for binoculars is growing more acute! Week by week the demand for highâ€"powered field glasses grows, as America‘s fighting fleets expand and as more and more armed guard merchantmen, filled with the vital tools of war, turn their prows into the submarineâ€"infested waters of the world. To send them to the Navy, owners should attach a tag bearing their name and address to the instruments, pack them carefully with the case, if one is available, and mail to the Naâ€" val Observatory, Washington, D. C. Because the Navy cannot accept gifts or free loans, all instruments are purâ€" chased for $1. If they are still in use after the war, they will be returned to their owners. + All binoculars recceive d are enâ€" graved with the donor‘s name and a special serial number to identify them. They are issued immediately to Naval vessels, and the commanding officers are requested to inform the donors of the names of the shops to which the instruments have been assigned. Only two types of binoculars can be accepted by the Navy. Bausch & Lomb or Carl Zeiss instruments size 6x30 or 7x50 meet Navy requirements. Toys, lorgnettes, opera glasses, and small prismatic types are useless for Naval purposes. Despite an excellent public response to the Navy‘s appeals for binoculars, the present supply is far below Naval needs. During the last World War patrioâ€" tic Americans. furnished. the Navy with more than 50,000 pairs of binoâ€" culars. A partial reason why more biâ€" noculars were furnished then is the Navy accepted more types than it can now. When attack comes at over 300 miles per hour, only the best and most powerful binoculars can be of Since February 10 when the Navy first asked citizens to give their binoâ€" culars, 6,000 persons have responded, and 1,654 binoculars have been furnâ€" Your Ambassador at to your customers and your prospects . . .. that‘s your When it is done with correctness and style you are well represented. has specialized on well styled, crisply correct business printing in Highland Park for the Bethichem C P RINTING!

This year‘s $15,000 Tam O‘Shanter National Open is being played simulâ€" tancously with the Allâ€"American Amaâ€" teur tournament over Tam O‘Shanter‘s eighteen hole course from July 20 to 26 inclusive. The course, which measured 6706 yards last year, and was far from a setâ€"up then, has since been stretched to 6763 yards and playing conditions have been considerably stiffened. The 10th, 12th, 13th, and 14th holes, all formerly straightâ€"away, have each been rgbuilt un a dog leg pattern requiring careâ€" sully placed tee shots.
