S. PC-791, in behalf of the men the ship, expressing appreciation for sweaters and watch caps by members of the American Red Cross here, has been received by Mrs. J. Gibson, secretary of the chapter. "These sweaters and watch caps so generously donated by you are awlefinite boost to morale and good will," the message stated.

In explaining the Red Cross project of distributing knitted garments to servicemen, Mrs. Gibson emphasized the fact that these eftments are free to the men. Sweaters, mufflers, helmets, gloves and other extra-warmth items, cannot, however, be given to men at home on leave, she said. Distribution is through the in which the men serve. Since the government has requested the Red Cross to help conserve wool by making sure all woolen garments go to the men who need them most, commanding officers get the articles need- the men tnrough the Red Cross field directors serving with their units, who, in turn, contact the Red Cross distribution centers.

This is true for the army, marine corps and coast guard. ijK 1 'he navy get knitted articles on requests made to the Brooklyn clothing depot.

awoke to find themselves without a newspaper for the first time in 26 years. Anxious citizens, scanning the street from their front doors, found only equally anxious neighbors asking: "Did you get your paper this morning?" News-stands were bare trains, trucks and buses left without their usual shipments. of papers for more than a hundred surrounding cities and towns. People as far away as sixty-five miles questioned friends: "I wonder what could have happened to the Rochester Democrat today?" And so it was in the evening, and the next day on through Sunday until the following Tuesday evening, when the Rochester Times-Union and the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle were able to resume publication because conciliators had persuaded 160 typographers to submit their difficulties to arbitration. How did Rochester people fare without their newspapers? Could modern science, through newer and different means of communication, provide a substitute? Would Rochester people really miss their newspapers? here's what happened At 5:30 A Thursday, the Rochester newspapers began announcing over the city's three radio stations that there would be no newspapers continued to do so at frequent intervals throughout the day Fortunately these Rochester newspapers operate one of the three stations, which enhanced the facilities, but the other two stations cooperated splendidly.

However, early the day the load on the phone lines had become so great the local telephone company made special arrangement, to facilitate the traffic By noon more than 30,000 inquirers had phoned requesting information as to the whereabouts of their paper, by that night, more than 50,000 fThaf equals about of all the families in Rochester's City Aa frequently di six or seven limes every day the Rochester newspapers, over their i station and throueh all the time they could purchase on the other stations, tried to serve the people with summaries of the news. gUT newsdealers found people clamoring for the complete, documented illustrated news they had so long been accustomed to. Wartime paper restrictions made it impos- for outside newspapers to ship into Rochester. So some enterprising souls went to miles up all the copies of the local papers they could gather from the stands and dealers sold their supplies in a twinkling at 20 and 25 cents per copy in downtown Rochester and could have sold many times more. One news commentator read the death notices over the air It took nearly fifteen minutes to go through the list and the listeners who tuned in at "Jones" never did learn whether Aunt Molly Brown had passed away in the item of news was gone beyond recall.

Hundreds who wanted to tell Rochester about their lost dog, their need for a home, a helper or a job, found themselves completely route. Parents and friends, accustomed to scanning the war's daily casualty lists, multiplied their anxiety day by day without solace. On Sunday, ministers gave bits and relevant deaths, births, church and community events. Throughout the five and a half days, the hottest rumor on Rochester's streets, across fences most avidly sought and passed along was the latest tip- "It looks like we'll get newspapers again tomorrow, or maybe the day after" A RE newspapers important to Americans? Are they mere amusement and or they a viiml necessarj Has the wizardry of modern science developed any substitute for newspapers as means of informing the public? Has thing else won away the interest and confi- dence and trust of those to whom advertisers refer as Have any of these happened? Well, just ask the folks of They'll be glad to tell you because they're) still talking about it. Here, in this story prepared by the Rochester Times-Union and the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, is a dramatic and eloquent illustration of the vital position a newspaper occupies in its community.
