Gasless Sundays are a reality IN

resenting membership OF more than
700, 900, an all other persons are be-
ing recruited, beginning to-day, IN
a government campaign to collect
peach stones, fruit pitts and nut
shells. -,
The fruit stones and the likes will
bo used to produce carbon to protect
American soldiers from German pols-
on gas. The campaign Tor collecting
the fruit stones is nationwide, anG
its expected that the needs for many
millions of the stones will be quickly
, met.
Collection centers of the Bay Red
Cross chapter are; Red Cross Salvage
Depot on Front Street, and a barrel
out side of every school.
This is an emergency appeal is

riotic citizen in the whole country
should be eager to take part IN this
campaign.
Juniors of the Red Cross, officials
of the food Administrator and other
government agencies throughout the {

Here is a list of the materials TO

a success, since it was not law, but
only a request.
If you want to understand what
the newspapers are really doing for
the government, and therefore for
the people of this country, just try
to imagine what would have happen

about gasless Sunday. Try to imag-

gotten the request before all of the
people--and what the people would
have thought of the matter if they
