Barnes, sales manager of the Potomac Electric Power Ço. and a veteran of 18 Chest campaigns, said today there is "no better way to build a better community."

"This year, with needs for all types of guidance and assistance increas ing rapidly, we must oversubscribe the $3,900,000 goal by generously in creasing our gifts.

Weir Declares Europe Can Help Itself More By th· Associated Prttt PITTSBURGH, Oct. 3. — The United States should not undertake to meet all European demands for food and materials "unless It be comes clear that Europe is attempt ing to help itself," says Ernest T. Weir, chairman of the National Steel Corp.

As an example he cited British coal production, which he said has fallen from the prewar 240,000,000 tons annually to about 180,000,000 tons annually at present with the "same miners, the same mines and the coal still there."

"Some," they are quoted as saying, "are not at all satisfied with the natural color of their hair and resprt to a more attracive hue—especially middle aged men. The hair Is dyed because they dread to have it known that it has turned to silver. Men are not ashamed of having their hair curled but it seems they are somewhat dif fident to let it be known that they have it dyed.
