Township members of the main committee were instructed to set up local campaign organizations patterned after the county organization. Decision to conduct the campaign early in July was quickly reached after the committee decided to limit the drive to war relief appeals. It was pointed out that the Binghamton Community Chest would stage its annual fundraising effort in the fall and that combined Red Cross Roll Call and War fund drive would be conducted throughout the nation early in 1943. It was Mr.

Russell's suggestion that the United War Fund Drive be appropriately opened on July 4, which is Saturday' with canvassing starting the following Monday. The length of the campaign was not determined. The executive committee reacted favorably to Mr. Russell's proposal that either Broome County's percentage of the national income or of retail sales be the basis on which quotas are determined. He said that .159 per cent is Broome's share of the national income and .167 per cent of the national retail sales total.

The budget committee of five will lose no time in calling for hearings of war relief groups be included in the United War Fund Drive. When the appeals have been heard, the budget mittee will report to the executive committee which will have the final decision of whether or not the individual appeals worthy cf sharing in the county's campaign. relief appeals which may be included are: United Service Organizations, Navy Relief Society, Russian War Relief, China War Relief, Greek War Relief, and War Prisoners Aid, all of which have made overtures, and other agencies such as the Queen Wilhelmina Fund, the Polish War Relief, Norwegian War Relief, British War Relief and American Social Hygiene (anti-syphillis) Association. The executive committeemen were in accord that the big dyive will be the year's only fundraising campaign for national war relief appeals in Broome County.

Matter of fact, probably 90 per cent of the time household moving vehicles return home emptyat least they have in the past.

It boils down to this. Many house movers have been advised by their national association representatives to "avoid naming a definite loading date on expedited service orders to be moved after June 1." Instead, they have been advised to "name as many as three such dates, if possible." So, if you are planning to move. get your order in early and then hope for the best.

This depends, however, on individual services and the plan adopted to cut the mileage. One thing is certain--the miles traveled must be reduced per cent from the mileage for the same calendar month last year, effective June 1. But if Mrs.

Jones does not get her rug when she wants it she can blame the war. Over-the-road common carriers have been ordered to reduce their mileage by eliminating "circuitous routes" to save trucks and tires. the theory that a straight line is the shortest distance between two points, ODT has covered the situation in its general orders. The ODT explained it this way: "Present forecasts of the traffic which must be carried by our motor truck transportation facilities during 1942 and succeeding years indicate that unless we take immediate action to conserve and providently utilize transportation facilities and equipment, including rubber tires, the movement of essential military traffic and foodstuffs may be impeded." The ODT said that "the normal rate of depletion removes approxi-lley mately 420,000 motor trucks from service each year." "Considering the rate of depletion," ODT said, "along with the limited number of trucks available for replacement, it is obvious that we are faced with an ever-diminishing amount of motor truck equipment. At the same time we have the problem of transporting an ever-increasing volume of business.

The ODT has left truck operators to cut the miles traveled voluntarily and warned that waste of tires will meet with refusal of local ration boards to issue certificates for tire replacements when neglect is proved. "We rely upon the patriotism of the carriers and the shippers who will be affected by those orders to cooperate in the highest possible degree in making them effective even though they appear to affect them adversely," ODT said. Local truckers are preparing plans for tightening up their delivery and collection services, and over-the-road hauling in line with the program, through a general committee headed by Joseph F.
