The campaign will be carried on through Community War Chests where such chests now In existence and where no such organizations are now in operation. are Demg lorm ed, with a campaign chairman and other volunteer workers. To the quota agreed upon by each county In the National War Fund effort is added, the budget which each county has set up for its own home front needs. Thus, the campaign will be all inclusive, taking care fcf three major needs: the war front, relief for the Allied Nations and the requirements of local philanthropic and charitable groups. Radiating from Columbus, the campaign will reach to the remotest sections of the state that every man, woman and child may have a part In relieving the distress of millions of people who are now facing another severe winter in the war stricken countries.

In addition to relief, funds are to be used to make life a bit less difficult and happier for those on the fighting fronts. To carry on the campaign, Chairman Barkey said today, the state has been divided into three sections, the northwest with 28 counties, the northeast with 31 and the southern with 29, with a field man in charge of each. In each county there is a chairman and seven committees, covering every phase of solicitation. Newspapers and radio are already cooperating wholeheartedly in the campaign in directing the attention of the public to the war relief needs. Prior to the actual solicitation, public meetings with prominent speakers will be held in Columbus and other sections of the state, Chairman Barkey announced.

"A survey made of the state," President Kennedy repo "shows'. that. the people are alert to the needs of the Allied war sufferers. I am confident that the great heart of Ohio will be opened to our faithful Allies, that they may be supplied with food, clothing, shelter and medical care as they enter another winter of distress."

Specialists in gardening at Ohio State university say special attention In storing the crop will be needed to prevent waste of a considerable part of the crop. Sweet potatoes are quite perishable unless cured properly before storing.

This vegetable should not be sold except in small" quantities for immediate consumption unless the potatoes have been cured. At digging time, the potatoes should be left on the ground until drv. and then they should be spread out inimy on a iioor and allowed to dry thoroughly before being placed in permanent storage.

Along a narrow strip at the base is the teeming commercial Lower Town and harbor, French provincial in character. Half way up, massive walls that make Quebec the only walled city ot North America mark the Upper Town a community of homes, fashionable stores, and parks, with a notable cathedral, and university and government edifices.

Looming large on the Dufferin Terrace site of old Fort St. Louis, is the Chateau Frontenac, scene of recent American British Canadian military ses Gibraltar of America" Crowning the heights just west of the Upper Town, is Quebec's historic Citadel, site of the Churchill Roosevelt meetings. The Citadel includes the residence of the governor general and a complete militaiv establishment from barracks and parade ground to an artillery museum. Starting with Jacques Cartior who. chose this sentinel rock as a fort site in 1535, Quebec's defenses have been developed in five different centuries and long sieges have been withstood so well by small forces that the Citadel has earned the name, "Gibraltar of America." Beyond the Citadel to the west are the Plains of Abraham, where in 1759 General Wolfe's epic clash with General Montcalm reached its climax.

It was disclosed, that fish what with a war going on are too dam noisy.

Not only fish, bust crustaceans, can give out with ear splitting cadenzas, the navy's records show, and "dumb as an oyster" is a new height In inaccuracy. Submarine crews long have had difficulty in distinguishing immediately between submarine noises and fish noises. The navy and the interior department's fish and wildlife sen ice. however went to work and developed one of the atrangest sets of phonograph records in existence. The records will be used to train sailors to distinguish between the rumblings of a boat engine, as detected with undersea listening devices the somewhat similar rumblings of a school of clamoring croakers.

The Investigators learned the awesome truth that the toadfish, a common inhabitant of Atlantic coastal waters, had a voice compares in intensity with a steam boat whistle. Croakers, most abundant food fish in Chesapeake Bay. make a noise audible through 20 feet tA water when they are netted or hooked. And the black dram and the red drum or channel bass pound along the ocean floor so vigorously that they literally shake fishermen's boats. The survey appears to prove conclusively that "asleep in the deep is utter nonsetue.
