Do you wonder what is being done with the money you contributed to the National War Fund campaign last fall?
The 16 member agencies of the war fund have issued a "winter report" showing what has been done and pointing out what is yet to be done in the present critical period.
It is sufficient to mention, in indicating that all war duties did not end with the war, that the close of 1945 finds 8,000,000 of our men still in the armed forces and untold numbers of men, women, and children experiencing cold, misery, and starvation along with the newly-won peace.
What has been, and is being done
is stated in the winter report:
U. S. O. camp shows — Entertainment for new inductees, the wounded, and men in overseas service. Nearly 1,500 professional entertainers are in 221 units overseas; 180 professionals in 28 units for programs at convalescent hospitals; 400 artists in 29 domestic and mobile units in the Western Hemisphere.
United Seamen's Service — Operates clubs for merchant seamen.
Philippine War Relief—Thousands of new and used garments and household kits have been sent. Medical and surgical supplies are ready for shipment.
Belgian War Relief—More than 860,000 pounds of relief supplies shipped since Sept. 1.
United China Relief-Nine hundred tons of surplus clothing stocks obtained from the U.S. army were sent in October. Hospitals, nurseries, schools, clinics, and health programs are sponsored for homeless children.
American Relief for Czechoslovakia—Food, clothings, drugs, and medical supplies, valued at $287,000 now en route to Bremen for 785,000 children periled by deficiency diseases.
American Relief for France Since Sept. 1, at least 2,729,000 pounds of clothing and food transported to France on French ships; more than a million pounds are ready for shipment now.
Greek War Relief Association—Providing emergency medical care for more than a million Greeks in 150 community clinics. Feeding centers for children opened in Epirus and Macedonia. Regular shipments from the United States clothe nearly 1,000 Greeks daily.
American Relief for Holland— During first 20 days of November, 2,290,000 pounds of supplies were shipped.
American Relief for Italy-November shipments of clothing, shoes, and sulfa drugs totalled over a million pounds. Orphanages, homes, and hospitals care for 120,000 children.

Rock Chalk Talk
Topic for Today: Holidays and stuff.
A la Kansas: A certain prof, who spent happy holidays right here on the campus, had a few friends over to usher in the new resolutions. He entered into the kitchen and emerged with quantities of his favorite non-alcoholic egg-nog. He gave a glassful to a Kansas City man.
"Best egg-nog you ever tasted," said the proud prof.
By TERRY HERRIOTT
"Is your egg-nog legal in Kansas?" asked the visitor.
"Why, of course," the prof replied.
"Then it ain't the best egg-nog I've ever tasted."
Wear and Tear: We have overheard several remark that they are happy that school has started again and the holidays are over. They look it.
Post-holiday classroom. A worm-out tight pants started checking up on his academic status today. He asked his bleary-eyed, gaunt professor, "Sir, what does the grade, F minus, mean?"
In Memoriam: Yep, it waz a great holiday—in Kansas City where the guy said, "It ain't the booze that botheres me, it's the water they keep putting in it." — In Wichita where the gal said, "But, honey, I can't go to the Blue Moon. My college steady is going there tonight?" — In Salina where the girl said, "Purple Passion? What a delicious name. Does it always blow up at K.U. too?" — In Topeka where the guy explained to his gal, "But, honey, their gossip people just print them things for laughs. They ain't true." — In Cincinnati where the N-Rotsie said, "But, sugar, just think how long it'll be before I get another leave." — In Great Bend where a guy explained to the father, "But, Sir, I didn't plan to marry your daughter when I went to collicch." — In Hutchinson where
"An F minus," glowered the professor, holding his head tightly between his hands, "—an F minus means, my dear friend, that you not only flunked this course but that you have insulted the professor as well."
An equal shipment was made in November.
American Relief for Norway- Sixty-five tons of shoes and underwear sent this fall. Nearly 30 health centers are in operation.
Refugee Relief Trustees-Established temporary home in France for care of orphaned children. Opened a center in Paris to aid in vocational rehabilitation of displaced persons. Aids in maintenance and repatriation of refugees in many countries.

United Yugoslav Relief Fund— Shipments of 100,000 pounds of clothing have been made. Nearly 200,000 are ready for shipment.
the girl said. "Yeah, I know K.U. has funny rules for freshmen, but you can't tell me that you have to carry all those female pictures in your wallet." — In Denver where the cops said. "Roll him over gently, Jerry, these K.U. kids can't get used to the liquor signs." — In Oklahoma where the fellow said, "No that warnt Superman, Jake, that was one of them Jayhawks playing basketball." — and in Lawrence where the student says, "Yep, let them profs ask me any question—just any question. It doesn't matter which—I couldn't answer it anyway."
It was a great holiday.
Headlines for Hoopes. Some Lawrence people were having a small post-Christmas party. Helen Rhoda Hoopes was asked to chaperone. Over the phone she protested that she wasn't dressed for a party. "Oh, that's all right," the young man assured her, "This is a come-as-you-create party."
"Good night," Miss Hoopes shouted, "If I were to do that, I'd be sure to get on the front page of several newspapers."
—And it's our turn to say, "Don't say that so loudly, Miss Hoopes, someone's sure to put it in the paper."
