Editor, Tall Tower Topics: Would like to have you tell me you can where we get rid of waste paper not newspapers magazines but scraps of paper cut from larger sheets during the day? In about week we fill up barrel or two Up until lately the paper has been going to the dump. Here is the question: we
 haven't any barrels to put paper in but ones belonging to an ash removing and cannot tie up these barrels for weeks at time. What want to know, is there some place that will let have barrels put paper In? know of business firm that has to throw away to barrels of paper week because of sup posed to be Americans who has always made good live
 ing here wants to charge $2 to take out papers that given to him. so naturally concerns throw 1t away in the dump rather than pay to get rid of it. If took the paper and wrapped up nice and tied blue ribbon 1t, maybe they would only charge dollar instead of two What we need IS some way to save paper without paying to take it away Hoping you will answer in your column, Iremain, Yours to Help Uncle Sam Win the War. . (AS yet no means of collecting and storing paper has been prepared here in Waterbury but there will be such drive In the near future all who possibly can without too much annoyance and confusion should try to store their scrap until then The Scouts have been collecting newspapers and magazines but general colectionsof all scrap anticipated by local defense officials and they urge everyone to do whatever they can lg conserve on paper ct ths tirne.-The Ed)

Ther's little talk today of Spain, What their losses, what their gain. Each day presents changing scene, Each day aims the radiance of queen. Some days we entirely forget about France, And smaller countries that never had chance Each day brings entirely new scenes, The background now Is the Philippines. There's little talk of Poland today, we've turned our attention another way. Each day brings some news terrific, From distant places across the Pacific Middle Europe Is still a mess But in the uncertain game of chess None can fortell the general predilectlon AS we turn our eyes in another direction, There's little talk today of Greece Hail the day when we can talk about peacei

SERVICES FOR The
YOUNGEST OF STATE
Interesting Report Made
by Bureau of Child
Hygiene

In connection with the approach
ing observance of Child Health
Day, report recently issued by
the Bureau of Child Hygiene of the
State Department of Health on the
services of the Department, day by
day, for young children throughout
the counties, during 1910, is of par
ticular interest.
AS a part of these services, over
1850 children were given a com.
plete health examination by physi-
clans with special experience in
the health needs of young children
and their mothers. or others in
charge, were advised as to follow
up care. The examinations were
made at the child health conference
held under the auspices of the
Bureau of Child Hygiene and the
County Health Departments.
The children ranged in age from
babies having their first experience
at these conferences to youngsters
getting ready to start to school. Of
the total, SSH were white and A.
997 were colored There were $500
under a year old; over 4.500 from
one to four, and nearly $500 from
five to six years old.
In submitting the report, DR.. J.
H. M. Knox, Jr., chief of the Bur
eau of Child Hygiene, said that the
aim of the conferences is to pre-
vent sickness and to advise the
mothers how the children may be
kept well. An effort is also made
to discover conditions that might
develop into a serious handicap, if
allowed to run on.
Nearly one-third of the children
over 1920 were free from
conditions requiring special atten-
ton. Over $500 nearly $500
white and over 700 colored - need
ed dental care. Tonsils and unfav-
