All But Love
Letters Needed
In Paper Drive

Monday morning the Boy Scouts
start their paper drive. They are
expecting nearly every fern OF pa
paper that is made and purchased
and then thrown to the scrap heap,
available. Magazines. newspaper,
comic sections, books, slandet-
sheets, worn out letters, and even
rags will be accepted by the Scouts
in their anual Thanksgiving clean
up.
Having staged two of. these pa
per drives in the city previous to
this time, very good knowledge
has been gained concerning things
to expect when the paper starts
pouring into the warehouse next
Monday morning. There is one
thing-or commodity, that always
detracts attention from the work of
the drive. That is the nicely tied
bundles of ancient love letters. If
the donor insists in putting in the
love letters, leave off the dainty
blue or pink ribbons, and they will
most probably go through the
presses without being noticed.
In all seriousness however, the
Scouts ask that every home put all
the paper available on the front
porch at an early hour Monday
morning, because, in the words of
the manager, I'VE need the paper.
