Cured on the opening rounds OF
the collectors truck. but these diff
culties have been ironed out. Col
! lections will be resumed at 9 am.
tomorrow on a regular schedule.
Directors of the drive. sponsored
by parent-teacher and home and
school associations, in cooperation
with The Star. pointed out that the
truck will visit a fifth of the District
schools each day and will have al
most an exact time to reach each
building. This will enable parents
or teachers who are supervising
collections at each school to de-
termine approximately at what per-
iod of the day they should be on
duty
The truck will cover district !,
according to the schedule published
daily in The Star, and will visit
each of the schools included, begin
ming with Orr School. Tuesdays
collections will be made in district
2 and, by Wednesday, the collectors
route will start again over the same
path covered on the opening day
of the drive last week.
Many of the schools already
visited were unprepared because,
their principals explained, they
have been given so little time in
which to broadcast notice of the
campaign. But they gave assurance
that their organizations would be
complete by this week and that an
enthusiastic response could be ex-
pected.
The paper will be paid for at
prevailing rates-60 cents per 100
pounds for newspapers and 80 cents
per 100 pounds for books and maga-
zines. Materials salvaged will be
converted into cardboard boxes in
which to ship supplies to Britain and
into other items needed to relieve
