HAZLETON'S INDUSTRY FUND
CAMPAIGN NOW UNDER WAY
Everyone is talking about Hazle
ton's Industry Campaign Fund. It is
one of the most important events to
take place in the community in many
years, since its effect will be felt by
every citizen in the region. An indus
try like the Electric Auto-Lite Com
pany locating in the Greater Hazleton
Area will add prestige and progress
to our community. The employment of
hundreds of our men will not only
help to solve our unemployment prob
lem, but it will also be the means of
retaining many families that would
otherwise leave the Hazleton area.
The spirit with which the campaign
was started and the response it has
received thus far is an encouraging
sign. Outsiders who have been keenly
observing the city's endeavor to
stride forward have been deeply im
pressed by the advance. Still there
are many within the city who are
skeptical of this new venture. There

ART CLUB OF HUC
HOLDS FIRST MEETING
Club Offers Variety
Of Instructions
The newly organized Art Club of
HUIC held its first meeting Thursday
evening, March 6, 1947 at the Broad
St. Building. The total enrollment to
date is twelve students and there are
openings for several more.
The following officers were elected
by a majority of votes:
Frank Lucia—Representative in the
Student Council for the Club.
Siegmund Knies—Secretary.
The purpose of the club is to help
any HUC students who have an inter
est in art, but who do not have art on
their curriculum, to advance in the
various phases of art in which they
are best suited. Mr. Arthur Carpen
ter, head of the Art Department at
the HUC is supervisor of the club and
will give instruction in tempera, char
coal studies, water color, oils and pen
cil sketching at all of the club meet
ings.
All future meetings will be held on
Thursday evenings commencing at 7
P.M. and concluding at 9 or 9:30 P.M.
The next meeting is scheduled for
Thursday, March 13, 1947. All stu
dents interested in art are cordially
invited to attend.
are many of those who criticize that
it will take almost a year before the
plant can start operation. A bit of
common sense is that if nothing is
started, nothing can 'be gained. Civic
pride is important and necessary be
fore progress can be realized.
It is indeed a challenge to every ci
tizen of the Greater , Hazleton area.
Much talk has been heard of the needs
of this region, but such words need
action. The success of this campaign
will instill confidence in the communi
ty from within as well as from outside
sources. This can be the beginning of
a progressive city. The challenge is
on!
Hats off to the men and women
who are giving their time and effort
without any renumeration except a
deep feeling of civic pride and satis
faction that action speaks louder than
words.

appeared on the calendar, and with i
,he promise of spring and the annual
Red Cross drive. The - Red Cross
knows no special season for their
ministrations to the needy, those
plagued by misfortune, or those ren

quake. Their work continues month
after month, year after year. They
were instrumental in giving aid to de
serving G.l.'s, comforting families
that lost .their loved ones in the last
great conflict, and in general aiding
millions of young men and young wo
men away from home. They provided
a home away from home. In many
cases they were the connecting link
across the vast expanses of ocean and
continent for fomilies torn assunder.
Today, they are aiding the wretched
masses of the Far East and Europe,
providing much needed food and
zlothing. Their humanitarian work is
known from one end of the globe to
the other; and it is your dimes and
dollars that makes this great work
possible. They need your money now
more than ever before, so when you
are asked, give, and give generously.
It is for a cause that we know is good;
many of us have benefitted by it and
some of us may need the Red Cross
in the future. Don't wait, GIVE NOW
TO THE RED CROSS.
