War Fund Appeal Coming Next Week Within less than a week, the United War Fund appeal will be under way in Utah County and all the cities and towns and rural communities throughout the state. The appeal is one of the most important ever put before the people seeking their most generous gener-ous response. Seventeen national and International Inter-national agencies, both on the war fronts, home front and devastated de-vastated countries of Europe and Asia the cry has gone up for the people of America to "let their hearts decide." Not only in Utah but throughout the United States the appeal is under way, under auspices of the National War Fund, of which the United War Fund is the Utah unit. From President Roosevelt down, leaders in all walks of life exalted and humble have pled with the people to open their hearts and their pocket-books. pocket-books. And it is certain that those of our community will rally to the call and fill our quota plus. What is the National War Fund our own United War Fund of Utah? It has been stated before, but it bears repetition: repe-tition: Under one appeal have been gathered the separate campaigns of the seventeen war and home front agencies. They are: USO (recreational and entertainment centers for servicemen in America Ameri-ca and abroad; shows for the men on the fighting fronts and in camps); United Seasmen's Service; War Prisoners Aid; Russian Relief; United China Relief; British War Relief Society; So-ciety; Greek War Relief Association; Asso-ciation; Polish War Relief; United Unit-ed Yugoslav Relief Fund; French Relief Fund; Belgian War Relief Society; United Czechoslovak Relief; Queen Wllhelmina Fund; Norwegian Relief; Friends of Luxembourg; Refugee Relief Trustees; U. S. Committee for the Care of European Children. Thus, with the one appeal, donors are asked to give once for all seventeen agencies. It's a simplified arrangement and a more efficient one. The huge national budget of $25,000,000 will be divided upon a basis of requirements that will be fair to all and adequate for their needs. Of this quota, Utah's is $410,000. The specific purpose of the Fund is three-fold: 1. For the Home Front to preserve the things we are fighting for. 2. For the Fighting Front to make life more bearable for those who are winning the fight. 3. For the Front of Our Allies To keep them alive and fighting. The contribution of every man, woman and child in this community com-munity will be used wisely and effectively toward the great pur pose of winning the war and winning the peace. For the peace, as well as the war, must be won unless other great wars are to follow this one. And to win the peace, the morale of the world's peoples must be maintainednot main-tainednot destroyed through the want of food, medicine and rehabilitation as conquered areas are freed. "More will live the more we give." More to live with a love of peace. But the burden of the ' moment in this nation-wide ap peal Is America's Utah's ours.
