. Our Opinions So
. Don't Waste The Waste!

THE Axis crashed in deluge Of pop
bottle tops. chicken bones. rusty pen points
and out-at-the-heels socks You will
never read that in headline OF history
text, but figuratively speaking il can and
may happen.
With most of US in this country just be-
ginning TO stir our stumps for victory, We
can learn a very profitable lesson in the
big importance Of little things in winning
q war. Best of all here is something every
body can do and it is going TO take every
man Jack and all his sisters, brothers,
cousins and children to do the job.
Every British home now has four cans
for four types of waste needed to dull the
Axis blade. One can is for paper and rags,
another for bones, the third for metal and
the fourth for garbage.
Not much of the horror of war there,
or the glamor of battle, If there is any
glamor left in war. It's much more excit-
ing to wave a flag, march in a parade or
spellbind the neghbors with a windy
speech on what Wavell or Macarthur or
Nimitz should have done. But if every
American home had four such cans and
filled them rs quickly as possible we should
make a much better showing in that re-
gard than Britain and here is what Britain
showed.
The salvage of waste paper alone saved
25 900 tons of shipping space which could
be used for more vital materials. The
London Passenger Transport Board re-
duced the thickness of tickets by only 004
of an inch, thereby saving $50 tons of pa
per annually, and that paper is needed for
cartridge wads.
Most important, enough scrap metal
old skillets, sardine tins, razor blades,
toothpaste tubes-rolled from those cans,
junk heaps and city dumps to build 10 de-
stroyers, 10000 tanks and 10000 anti
aircraft guns.
That is only part of the British salvage
system, but obviously it is more than
worth while 1t could possibly spell the
difference between defeat and victory,
therefore ii becomes necessity.
Americans must join the junk drive
All communities by now should have or
CARNATIONS and resources to handle this
job. Boy Scouts, schools, Sunday school
classes and clubs are collecting refuge, but
they can't collect it If you do not save it
for them. Remember Pearl Harbor" and
Mash EN- Macarthur" may bring you up
with your fists clinched tighter than
Waste No Waste" but the latter packs a
potential wallop.

. The Will 10 Win

Wars are won, primarily, with men, but
the men must have bullets-rifle and ma
chine gun bullets. Therefore, it is good news
that the Remington Arms company will pro-
duce in 1912 more small arms ammunition
than all u. S. factories turned out in the
four years of World War
What We set out To do, we can do, as
Remingtons performance proves. Nine
months after ground was broken, the first
plant was in operation. A second cartridge
factory was completed in an even shorter
period, in addition to expansion of the
original plant.
All this in the face Of apparently insur-
mountable difficulties. When tool-making
bottleneck was encountered, sub-contraetors
were enlisted, taught to make tools. Tool
rooms were created in government
ordnance plants. Workers were put in
schools to learn new skills, the most apt
became teachers TO instruct others
The old axiom, "Where there's will.
there's a way" today becomes THE will is
the way-to victory"

, Unions Set Fine Example

In financing q concert b. the Philhar-
monte orchestra 1t McChord Field. Ameri-
can Federation unions Of Tacoma are
performing fine community service for the
men who will be doing front line fighting in

The government, OF course. provides for
their material comfort There is little that
they lack in the way of food. clothing,
shelter, etc That is their right.
The federation unions 60 further when
they contribute several hundred dollars to
cover the cost of performance by a sixty
piece orchestra.
Ii is q sincere expression of the regard
which the men Of the industrial army have
for the men of the fighting army. II is
indicative Of the cooperation that must exist
between these two elements Of the Ameri-
can armed forces il the battle for democracy
Is TO be successful.
In way, this gesture by the federation
unions also is a compliment to the orchestra,
for il will be a critical audience the must
clans are to face Wednesday night.
Among the men in the flying force are
those who have earned q masters degree IN
music. Some OF them have been concert per-
formers. Some of them have been orchestra
conductors. They know their music.
Unions to which the army flyers will be
indebted for an evening of entertainment in
clude the Painters, Retail Clerks, Carpen-
tiers, Sheet Metal Workers, Transfers and
Chauffeurs, Plasterers and Cement Finish

Building Service Employees, Engineers, Of

Boot and Shoe Workers, Chemical Workers,

How the service feels about this friendly
gesture is indicated in letter received by
the unions from Col. Armin +. Herold, COM
manding officer. He expressed regret that
the war situation precluded mass attendance
of the unions at the concert, but has re-
quested that one member from each organ
ization be designated to represent the group
TO whom the fluctuations of the flyers may
be extended.
