NO. 10. WAR FUND 1943 Red Cross Appeal for War Funds Our contribution to the Red Cross War Fund enables the Red Cross to carry on works of mercy to our boys who are stricken on the fighting fronts. One of the greatest aids the Red Cross has rendered our boys is the blood plasma, which has been donated to the Blood Bank. Many boys’ lives have been saved by this scientific development. Wherever our boys go, the Red Cross goes with them, aiding them, and sending messages to them in the war zones. All tins work is made possible when we donate cash to the Red Cross Appeal for War Funds. We should not evade the issue, but contribute as much as possible, so that our boys will be made äs comfortable as possible, in the far corners of the globe. We must look upon our donations not as a' duty, but as a privilege — the privilege of doing good, constructive work in a world torn with hate, and destruction. Contribute now to the Red Cross, so that your boy will have the proper care when he needs it most. VOL. XXVI. MARCH 11, 1943 Proclamation of Governor Bricker of Ohio, to the American Hungarian Federation Hon. John W. Bricker, Governor of the State of Ohio, issued the following proclamation at the request of the American Hungarian Federation. He urged the Americans of Hungarian descent to observe the 15th of March, as Hungarian Freedom Day, since their kinsfolk living in Nazi-ruled Hungary are deprived of their freedom and can not celebrate the 15th day of March as in former yea vc. PROCLAMATION Hungarian Freedom Day March 15, 1943 WHEREAS, March 15 is a memorable date in Hungarian history and has the same meaning and significance to the Hungarian people that July 4th has to the people of the United States, and WHEREAS, the many thousands of loyal citizens of Hungarian descent in Ohio and other states of the Union will observe March 15 as Hungarian Freedom Day, and WHEREAS, the observance will provide opportunity for the freedom-loving Amer'cans of Hungarian descent to demonstrate to their fellow-Americans and to their kinsfolk in Hungary, that they are celebrating Hungarian Freedom Day, and WHEREAS, such activity will help to fortify and strengthen the people of Hungary, deprived this year of their right to celebrate the day in Hungary by Nazi oppression, in their spiritual resistance to Nazism, NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOHN W. BRICKER, Governor of the State of Ohio, do hereby proclaim March 15, 1943 as Hungarian Freedom Day in Ohio, and urge all citizens to cooperate in keeping the spirit of Hungarian freedom and independence alive. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great .Seal of the State of Ohio to be affixed at Columbus this 25th day of February in the year of our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Fortythree. By THE GOVERNOR: JOHN W. BRICKER DO YOUR PART The individual citizen can help relieve the wartime medical problem. Here are suggestions: Choose your physician carefully and stick to him. Make appointments for visits as early as possible. Whenever advisable visit the physic'an’s office instead of expecting him to call at your home. Write down all important facts you want to tell him. Tell him all .ymptoms which have any bearing on your physical welfare. Have confidence in him. Write down his orders and make sure you understand them. Public cooperation can go far toward eliminating the “doctor shortage.” TIME TO HELP The right of any business to advance by the initiative of its owner or management, operating on a competitive basis, has given this country a merchandising system that is now of incalculable value to consumers in money saved, and in the greater variety and better quality of products and merchandise offered. Retail stores never before faced such problems as today. Securing goods for distribution requires expert knowledge, foresight and an understanding of laws and regulations heretofore unheard of in this nation. There ie one request that merchants now make of all consumers: Between now and the time full war rationing takes effect, donT hoard. The merchants ask this because they are cooperating with government to the utmost to avoid disruption of consumer supplies. Merchandisers, no matter how efficient, cannot distribute products that don’t exist. Lend-lease and military demands have made deep inroads on supplies of all kinds. It is up to the consumer to cooperate in dividing what is left. —-----------v-------------Prison Factories Produce Dwellers in our penitentiaries have not been released to go and fight the Japs, as many requested, but they have been helping to win the* war through production. And their production in 100 prisons owning more than $60,000,- 000 worth of equipment is far from inconsiderable. These prisons industries have been turning out a continuous flow of such things as airplane castings, bomb parts, engine parts, paint brushes, wood products, ammunition boxes, tent stakes, motor and metal part and textile products. Cotton spindles in state prisons have an annual capacity of 7,000,000 pounds, and prison looms can turn out yearly 20,000,- 000 yards of fabric most of which goes into Lendlease shipments. The prisons have also thousands of acres of farm land on which they grow vegetables and fruits of all kinds, as well as cotton, sugar cane, tobacco and other crops. Some have big canning factories in which they put up their own food supplies and a surplus available for the market. There have long been restrictions on the marketing of prison goods, because they competed with private industry. Only recently were the barriers cleared by executive order, making available such goods for the war effort and for the duration. Not only do most of the prisons have good machine shops but they house many skillful mechanics. It is estimated that 168,000 workers will be available in the prisons when the program is fully developed. From: Pathfinder.
