His earnest and un tiring work in carrying out tbe regula tions of the Office of Price Adminis tration are greatly appreciated, and his services will be a distinct loss. Holiday Closings Announcement is made to the effect that the First National Bank and Commercial Bank of Camden will be closed Monday and Clark, I foresee an increase rather than a decrease in the need for Amer ican Red Cross services on the Con- tincnt from now and for some time after the F^uropean fighting is over. Likewise, it is obvious the American Red . Crois must expand Ue Pa4:lfie and Far Eastern operations during the coming year. ‘ It iH our intention that Red Cross Rtay with otir t-roops ttnHlttR nf them are returned home and continue to serve them through their adjustment hack to civilian life. For this reason we luUHL ask the Amor.lcan public to consider our goal of 3180,000,000 as an absolute minimum.” Advance gifts from corporation and individuals who wish to reduce Income taxes may be sent in before December 31.
