SCOUTS WILL ENLIST IN DEFENSE WASTE PAPER CAMPAIGN Waste Paper Will Be Collected By Troops The Boy Scouts of America, 1,500,000 strong, will enlist in the national defense waste paper cam paign at the request of Leon Hen derson, Administrator of the Of fice of Price Administration. Dr. James E. West, Chief Scout Executive, in bulletins mailed yes terday to 20,000 Scout Leaders, call ed for local waste paper collection drives in every community that has a Scout Troop. This means every city and town of more thah 1,000 population and many smaller ham lets. The national waste salvage cam paign has been developing since September 7 with central collec tion offices being established in 33 principal cities by the conserva tion committee of the Waste Paper Consuming Industries. The Campaign has the active support of the OPA and the OPM Conservation Bureau because pa per board boxes are needed in in creasing quantities for packing and transporting many defense items. Waste paper is the principal raw material used in the manufacture of paper board boxes. The Boy Scouts will carry the waste paper collection beyond the limits of the paper board indus try’s drive. In the 33 cities where the campaign has been scheduled they will cooperate with the in dustry committee. Where scrap dealers are not a vailable, as in small towns and rural areas, the Scouts will haul the paper to the most convenient collection center. The waste paper will be sold at current market prices, and the proceeds will be used by Scout Troops for what ever purpose they select. Should a Troop raise more mon ey than it “can wisely use in meet ing its own requirements”, Dr. West suggested, “consideration should be given to being helpful to some worthy cause—the China Re lief, Esteemed Grandparents, Bun dles for Britain, the United Ser vice Organization, and numerous other worthy causes.” The Boy Scouts were very ac tive in the scrap aluminum col lection campaign in which all re turns went into the U. S. Treasury. Dr. West in his bulletin pointed out that the Boy Scout drive was designed to supplement the col lection of waste paper through the normal trade channels and not to disturb it. Likewise, he suggested that while the Boy Scouts are taking the lead their activity should not foreclose other community organizations from taking part. Dr. West said there will be no formal opening of the campaign, ... . _■»__ UUl uo liupicoocu “***' cutives the need for prompt action. “This is not to be a short-term campaign”, he added, “but it is to be a continuous effort until fur ther notice, covering the entire U nited States, and may possibly ex tend throughout the whole year." Plans for collection in this sec tion will be announced later. LOTTIE MOON CIRCLE The Lottie Moon Circle met Thursday night, Oct. 9, in the home » of Mrs. Minnie Wilson, with eleven members present.

The first was: — in their materials these cars must not trespass on the current needs of national defense. The second was: — in their quality and performance they must not be an “ersatz” product. If you think this leaves only a cramped j . i _ -• • them through clotted traffic. The sure way to gauge their mettle and their inmost goodness is to plump them squarely into the stiffest task your imagination can supply. So come try the gorgeous new cars that we not only say pace the pack for 1942 but are bold enough to believe set an all-time high in all-round automotive excellence.
