Collection Of Paper
In Schools Spurred by
Outbreak ofWar
District Z on List
For Tomorrow in -
PIT. A. Campaign

Washington's reaction to the out
break of hostilities with Japan to-
day emphasized the need for saliva
ton of paper and added new life to
the collection campaign now in
progress in the city under direction
of Parent-Teacher and Home and
School Associations in cooperation
with The Star.
Collections were resumed today
on regular schedule, starting with
Orr School at 8 am. and continuing
with others in district /. District 2
will be visited tomorrow.
Directors of the drive announced
that every effort would be made by
the driver of the dealers truck in
which the paper is transported to
reach each school at an approximate
hour each week. This will enable
the teacher or parent in charge to
tell at approximately what time she
should be on duty.
Increases Reported.
1t is requested that a parent or
teacher supervise the collection of
paper as it is brought to school by
children and to witness the weigh
ing before it is loaded on the truck.
A receipt is given in each instance
and payments will be made monthly.
Some confusion and delay on the
part of the driver in locating the
various schools occurred during the
first three days of the campaign
last week. Despite this, however, a
SO per cent increase in the amount
collected was reported each day.
Still further increase is expected
this week as the schools and the
dealer become better organized for
the drive. Early reports on today's
results, while not supported by def
mite figures, gave indication that the
campaign had hit it's stride.
Yuletide Speeds Drive.
Another factor that lent speed to
the drive was the nearness of
Christmas. Some of the school as
sociations have announced that the
money they get from the sale of
paper will be spent to buy shoes
and clothing for children of desti-
tute families.
Residents without children who
have waste paper they will. con-
tribute are asked to contact the
nearest school in their respective
neighborhoods. This can be done by
phoning National 5000 and asking
for the institution by name.
