Millions of flashlights, now

the drain which the purchase
of new lights would place on

Director of the Division of Civ¬

Disturbed by reports that
thousands of Americans are try¬

majority of families need not
fear being without illumina¬

Seventy per cent of families
in the United States, the sur¬
