Issued Every Two Weeks By and For the Employees STLE MARSHALL FIELD & COMPANY, INC, Manufacturing Division, Spray, North Carolina Volume Three Monday, February 26, 1945 Draper To Have Waste Paper Drive On March 11, 1945, Boy Scout Troops 27, 85, and 87 will call at every home in Draper to collect waste paper. Start ing at one o’clock the Scouts will begin work in the zones assigned to them and everyone is asked to help in this drive. Starting immediately every person in Draper is requested to save waste pa per. When a quanity—any quanity— has been accumulated it should be tied as compactly as possible and left on the front porch or in the front yard, so the Scouts can make quick work of collection. No matter how much or how little waste paper you have on hand it will help, for waste paper is very vitally needed for the war effort. Newspapers, paper boxes and cartons—anything made of paper will help. V . . . — H. B. Leavitt Receives Promotion Halsey B.

Don’t tell me the dream you have Of conquest still afar; Don’t say what you hope to be. But tell me what you are. Grenville Kleizer. V . . . — I want to thank you all for the nice gift I received while I was out sick and for the many cards and letters that were sent to me. HENRIETTA COLEMAN. Bedspread Mill
