SALVAGE WORK WILL
 CENTER IN CENTRAL
 WAR WORK QUARTERS

Within a few days the salvage de- )artment of the Red Cross will move to Room in the Central school. to be known in future as the War Work building.
 Now that this department has the assurance of a reasonably permanent location, the plans which long ago have been under consideration for it's further development will be put into effect.
 The work of salvaging paper. tin foil, old rubber, etc, was started more than a year ago by Mrs. Dwight B. Heard and soon showed such promise that last October it was taken over by the service section of the Red Cross. which is about 10 start it on a more independent career.
 The salvage department was frs, located in building at f27 North Central avenue, generously donated by the Valley bank. At this time it was presided over by William Elder and later by Alex Elder, who has re- gently received his commission in thc navy. Under Mrs. Josephine Rogers it was moved to 216 West Washing ton street, a building kindly loaned by a syndicate of owners. and a few weeks ago Sam Mitchell came to its rescue with the offer of a room or the south side of Washington street To all of these men who so generously contributed to the support of the department. the service section tend CTS appreciative thanks.
 Mrs. Rogers. who will go with the salvage department to it's new home
 
 voted to this work, and whatever sue cess has been attained is due to her unselfish labors and the willing and generous response of the public. To the school children. the department is particularly indebted for donations of paper tin foil. etc. and for as- sistance in collecting articles for sal wage
 In addition to hundreds of maga- zines sent to our boys in camp. paper magazines and junk have been sold Co the amount of S775.
 As yet. the salvage work in Phoe- nix is in it's infancy. but at it's last meeting, the board of directors of the service section. Mrs. John Den nett Jr.. chairman. approved plans for it's development along many lines to be carried out by an independeu committee. whose chairman will b, Mrs. Louis H. Chalmers. The wide field which salvage covers and thu possibilities in tin cans, packing cases, castor beans, old tires. jewelry bottles, etc, are just beginning t' be understood. During Mrs. Chalmers summer on the coast, she plans t' investigate all of these matters a. we'll as the value to the chapter o white elephant" shop. with a tei room annex. Her sub- committee will be announced later.
