"Being unable to crush the vigor and courage of the Ethiopian warriors," said the note, "the Roman government is systematically killing women, old men and children, and bombing and destroying towns, villages, churches, convents and ho-pitals. Agencies Aim To Prevent Duplication To promote efficiency in aiding flood sufferers and to avoid duplica tion of relief, the Red Cross and emergency relief authorities have set aside certain definite fields for their activities. The emergency relief administration will continue to take care of all those families registered on its rolls before the flood. Food, clothing, rent, and -medical supplies and services will be supplied to them.

The Red Cross will serve those persons who are in need because of the flood but who were not on the emergency relief rolls prior to the disaster. This group includes those whose assets were depleted to such an extent by the flood that they need aid and all persons living in flooded area who have been deprived of employment because of the flood. Persons who do not reside in flooded areas but who have lost their jobs because of the flood will be cared for by the emergency relief administration.

In the case of hand set users who have had their hand set telephones for less than 24 months the rate for the remaining months of the two year period will be 15c instead of 25c This reduction will result In a saving of $200,000 to telephone users in Pennsylvania during the next 12 months. There are 375.000 hand set telephones in service jn Pennsylvania. Of these 225,000 are receiving service without the extra charge.
