RED CROSS DRIVE TO 
START   HERE  TOMORROW
  A Red Cross War Fund drive will be conducted on this
project tomorrow, Friday, and Saturday; according to
John 0. Moore, public welfare counselor.
   Actual soliciting will be confined  to the appointed
personnel.   Aiding in collecting will be Administrative
Officers Henry F. Halliday,
W. Ray Johnson, Walter Kno-
del,  Joseph  McClelland ,
Mark  Radcliffe, Dr. Carstar-
phen,    Paul  Terry,   Ralph
O'Rourke, and Kendall Smith.
   Evacuees  will be  able
to  contribute to the  fund
through    their    respective
block managers.
   The goal for the project
has been set at $500.   The
quota for the nation is
$125,000,000.
   The Red Cross will need
twice as much this year as
compared to last year,
Moore said.
   Included in the services
which the Red Cross has
rendered to residents here
are answering questions con-
cerning relatives in Japan
and handling messages to
and  from soldiers.
   "I hope that the resi-
dents will co-operate and
give  voluntarily toward
this worthy cause," Moore
said.   He  stressed that
this is not a regular roll
call for membership.
ENLISTMENTS
TO CONTINUE
   The deadline for enlist-
ing in the US Army has been
extended to Mar. 10, an-
nounced Walter.J. Knodel,
administrative representa-
tive  of the Army team.
   Recruiting will continue
in  the employment  office.
Clothing   Pleas
Are   Rejected
   In  a letter written by
Ma j. Mark H. Astrup, act-
ing WBA associate field
director, to John 0. Moore,
public  welfare counselor,
residents who have written
letters to Gen.  John L.
DeWitt of the Western De-
fense command concerning
WCCA, c1othing allowances
are requested to discon-
tinue because "There is no
possibility  that any par-
tially filled order will
be adjusted at this late
date.”
   Astrup explained fur-
ther that the discrepan-
cies between the  clothing
order and supply were due
to the vendor, who was un-
able to provide certain
items.   The government was
billed only on the amount
of clothing actually de-
livered.  
FISHING    LICENSES
FOR  ALIENS  BANNED 
   Under Colorado fishing
regulations, licenses can-
not be issued to aliens.
However, aliens will be
permitted to fish within
the project area, said Stan-
ley E. Adams, assistant
internal security officer.
