waiting to be called for.
At one of the schools 2000 pupils in
good working condition are able to fill
a barrel a day. They find this aspect
of the war positively charming never
perhaps in the history of the nation have
peaches been eaten with such zeal and
in such amazing quantities.
The Government published its request
not quite three weeks ago. To date the
total runs into countless millions of
peach stones. At the time when the first
red, white and blue barrel was placed
outside the first building it was feared
that the collection would not prove sue
c~essful, since the peach season was so
nearly over.
When there are no more peaches the
collection of cocoanut shells and prune
stones will continue throughout the
winter. These can be used for the same
purpose as the peachstones.
