URGE SAVING OF
WASTE PAPER
Mayor R. F. COrley Appeals to
Smyrna Residents to Con-
serve Scrap Paper
NEEDED IN DEFENSE

Mayor r. F. Corley has appealed
to Smyrna residents to stop burn
ing newspapers, paper boxes and
waste paper and to give it to paper
collecting agencies as part of the
national waste paper conservation
campaign. Receipt of letter
from Leon Henderson, administra-
tor of the Office of Price Admins
tration, urging the appeal prompt
ed the mayors request. The mayor,
quoting from Mr.. Henderson's let
ter said: "As you know, waste pap
er is vital to defense because it is
the principal raw material for the
paperboard containers used to ship
defense materials. Figures show
that about three-fourths of the
paper produced in the United
States each year is burned" The
mayor recommended that residents
contact the Salvation Army, the
Goodwill Industries, the Volunteers
of America and old newspaper buy
ers and arrange to have the waste
paper removed.

er, states that the girls will only
sing in homes where they are invit-

would be welcome. The scouts are
especially anxious to remember
shut-ins, small children and elderly
people.
To Sing Before Grange
This evening the girls will sing
carols before the Grange, where
they will appear as guests of the
Christmas party. The troop has
completed two other Christmas
projects. The first is the purchase
and packing of individual gifts for
a troop of underprivileged girl
scouts in Philadelphia. The second
is the making of Christmas cards
which are to be sent to people who
have befriended the troop through
out the year. These handmade
cards are now on display in the

With Others Close
8 P. M. MONDAY THE END

Only five days remain of the
Popular Baby Contest. In these
closing days opportunity remains
for every contestant to pile up
votes for the final count which de-
termines the winner of the coveted
title, S125.00 and the silver loving
cup. The contest, sponsored by the
Smyrna Times and a long list of
participating merchants, will come
to a close on Monday, December %
at p. m. The first seven contest
ants are "a Jackie Sudler and (2)
Elaine Heinold, practically tied
with only a few separating them;
90 Lois Warren, a. Suzanne
Kemp and (5) Victor David all
running a very close race for third
and Cd Philip Voshell, only a few
votes behind. In support of these
leaders the contest headquarters
has been literally swamped by a
steady stream of baby votes and
subscriptions. The spirit of the
contest has reached a high pitch of
excitement and anticipation. Those
interested now realize that their
efforts to collect baby votes and
subscriptions before Monday night
will be deciding factor in behalf
of their favorite to win one of the
seven cash prizes and the case of
Pet Milk, or equivalent in merchan-
disc, offered by Mr.. Cough of the
Smyrna Pure Food Market to the
highest contestant following the
first seven. An impartial advisory
board will supervise the final count
Monday night and will verify the
total vote tally. The results will
be announced as soon after the final
hour as is possible. No baby votes
or subscriptions will be accepted
after eight p. m. Monday.
Contestants Running Close Race
The margins between the votes
to date for a number of the con-
testants were closer at the end of
Wednesday nights count than at
any other time during this exciting
and constantly changing contest.
Leading contestants must now put
forth their final effort to maintain
their advantage as it is possible
that some of the apparently mac
tive ones may stage a last hour
drive and capture the higher hon.
ors. The next count, last published
count before the final is 5 p. m.
Saturday with an attractive "mys-
terry bonus" being offered.
