to have new posters prepared and dis-
tributed in 1945, to carryon the good
work of th is organization and lend the
encouragement needed to have letters writ-
ten to th e men and women on our fighting
front.
"It is interesting to note," said Nelson
and Kelner, "that when we first took hold
of the work in the organization last May,
that a great many people were reluctant in
support in g the plan because at that time
they thought th e war would be over in
the next 30 or 60 days. Many of these
same people have s in ce changed their
minds like millions of others .in the cou n-
try, and they are now fully aware of the
fact that th e war is far from over. The
need of letters written to soldi er by their
family members and friend is more im-
portant than eve r, accord ing to govern-
ment officials. Any person having a relative
or a friend in the service realizes how im-

portant and how much good a letter ca n
be to a man on the fighting front. The
ational Co in Machine Association needs
the hel p and co-operation of every member
of the Industry to car ryon the work of
the War Activities Comm ittee. Permanent
headquarters of th e Association are located
at 2252 We t Chicago Avenue, Chicago, Ill.
It is a non-profit organization crea ted to
en list the power of advertisin g for Victory.
The Officers and committee members re-
ceive no compensation for their work and
everything is done in patriotic spirit for
the cause."
The Treasury Department at Washing-
ton has approved the application of the
Association for exemption from income
taxes of all contrib utions.
