distributing crews Will be marshalled
for the start of the Perth Amboy Day
Nursery annual waste campaign. Sys-
tematically they will divide the city on
by maps and will proceed to distrib-
ute one of the big paper bags to every
household, checking of each street
and section as soon as it Is finished.
This part of the campaign program
should take about two or three
days time, and Immediately following,
the collection of the filled bags will
begin in the same orderly manner.
During the few days between the time
the bag is received n called for. 1t
is hoped that every family will take
advantage of this opportunity to aid
their needy fellow citizens by making
O. thorough search for every bit OF
rubbish the household contains, as
stuff brought to light after the coll
lection is over will be useless.

Their diet is specially suited to their
needs and the sturdy, healthy appear
ance of the children will testify to
the fact that it is well chosen.
There is a pressing need for addi-
tional funds. The officers wish to ex-

1t is the privilege and duty of every
individual in the community to help
support the nursery, and the entire
city can fall into line by uniting on
this drive for vast material. The
more material collected the larger the
sum that the nursery will receive, as
the entire collection will be sold by
the pound to the highest bidder. The
