Thousands of new jobs have been created by CAN-DO and other Chamber of Commerce affiliates. "While these new jobs and the payrolls they created add to the well-being of a community, the very growth factors indicate demands for more services from Chest agencies. Those of us who are fortunate to be on the receiving end of the greater economic benefits and new jobs must each share in supporting those agencies which take care of our less fortunate neighbors.

Julian Returns To New York NEW YORK (AP) Hubert Fauntleroy Julian, the aging Black Eagle of Harlem, came home once more Friday after being arrested in the Congo's Katanga Province as a mercenary. The United Nations obtained his freedom. The colorful 63-year-old Negro aviator was unabashed by his latest in a long series of international mixups. He told newsmen at Idlewild Airport: "I can make no statement until I consult the presidential candidate of 1968." He explained that he was referring to U.S.

Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy, brother of the President. Julian said he wants to find out from the attorney general whether his detention in the Congo was a violation of his constitutional rights.

Julian denied he was a mer cenary for Katanga. at the Hazleton Municipal Air port, Squadron 203, Hazleton Civil Air Patrol, yesterday started placement of flagstones to spell "Hazleton" on the side of an embankment at the east end of the runway.

He said that actual requests of member agencies and other budgetary requirements totaled some $237,765 but the budget, committee was able to pare down the gross amounts to arrive at a goal which the chairman said "is one we believe to be worthy of support by every citizen of this community." The 1963 goal is a little more than the 1962 goal of $200,000 but the last campaign reached only 83 per cent of its target and an attempt will be made this year to make up some of the resultant deficit, Campbell explained.

"When the needs and requirements of every agency in the Chest campaign are examined; and when their objectives and services to the needy and handicap ped of this community are given proper, deserving credit, you can readily see that this is a solid, practical goal which should be RESULTS ARE THE PAY-OFF!
