HELP NEEDED IN SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM
The project of serving hot lunches to school chil
dren at school during our coldest months is well under
way by the Beta Sigma Phi, local women’s club, who
have chosen this civic project for the youth of our town.
Members of the group and volunteer members
from other organizations are taking turns preparing
the lunches. More help is needed, however, and anyone
in the community who would like to give a hand will
be welcomed by the committee which has volunteered
to see the project through.
Each volunteer is just that much more encourage
ment to this group that the project is important, needed
and wanted in the community. Only by the responses
of parents and others in the community can they know
that the service is appreciated.
Your response and cooperation will determine
whether or not the program will be carried on to cover
more of the children next year.
If you can spare an hour once a week, now is the
time to offer your services.

To Consult with Acheson
WASHINGTON, (/P) — The
House Foreign Affairs Committee
will call on Secretary of State
Dean Acheson next week for a
full review of the world situation
before setting out on a stoTmy
session over foreign aid.
Chairman Richards (D-SC) said
the committee wants to question
Acheson, among other points, on
what Prime Minister Churchill
expects in further American as
sistance.
The issue before the present
congress, Richards told a reporter,
is not whether foreign aid should
be continued but how much the
American public could and would
give.

This is how the constellation may

Rosenbergs, Convicted
Atom Spies, Appeal
Death Sentence
NEW YORK, (/P)—Counsel for
Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, con
demned to death as atom spies,
argued in their appeal Thursday
that they were convicted because
of their political beliefs and not
because of anything they had
done.
At their federal court trial, Ros
enberg and his wife refused a
number of times to say whether
they were communists.
This background was not men
tioned by the defense counsel as
he argued in the U. S. Circuit
Court of Appeals. He contended
that the judge had committed
trial errors prejudicial to the de
fendants.
Some men are successful chief
ly because they didn’t have the
