Pioneer Women
To Launch Self
Assessment Drive

The Pioneer Women's Organiza-
tion is mobilizing Its entire mem-
bership throughout the United
States and Canada for a special
self-assessment activity on behalf
of the Labor Zionist movement
in Poland. Paralleling its earlier

effort on behalf of. the resistance
forces in the ghetto and under-
ground, the National Executive is
calling upon every member to
contribute a minimum of a day's
household expenses for this cause.
The decision to launch this ac-
tivity followed a comprehensive
report presented by Joseph Sak,
leader of the Poale Zion Party of
Poland, and Chaya Grossman,
leader of the chalutz movie:lent,
now In country as members
of the Polish-Jewish delegation.

The two delegates described the
intense national Jewish sentiment.
dominating the Jewish community
of Poland since the "liberation".
This self-assessment activity will
serve the needs of Jewish youth
and children of the Labor Zionist
movement returning from Soviet
territory, and their training for
eventual settlement in Palestine.

Worried About Inflation? .
LOOK AT YOUR GAS RATES

ETTER THAN ANY NUMBER OF WORDS, the drawing
above tells a story that should interest every Detroit
householder who uses gas for cooking and water heating
and pays the so-called "domestic" rate established by the
Michigan Consolidated Gas Company.

Mr. and Mrs. Detroit see that for 1,800 cubic feet of gas
. . . the average amount used monthly by most families for
cooking and water heating they pay Michigan Consolidated
$2.00, while Clevelanders pay $1.34; Toledoans, $1.25; and
the majority of Pittsburghers, only $1.08.

dated have to charge householders 66 to 92 cents more than

The difference between the 38 cents which Michigan Con-
solidated pays at wholesale and the $2.00 it collects from
Detroiters is called a "service charge". The average "service
charge" on 1,800 feet of gas in Toledo, Cleveland and most of
Pittsburgh is 77 cents. But Michigan Consolidated's "service
charge" on this amount of gas is $1.62 . . . a mark up of
more than -100%!

panies serving Pittsburgh, Toledo and Cleveland pay from
5 to 9 cents more!
