Committee Pushes
School to Third in
Division Runkinq

Shaw Junior High School, which
up to this week has been tagging in
The Evening Star-Parent- Teacher
Association Salvage for Victory
campaign, came through in Tues
days collections with the sixth
largest total collected from a single
school in a single day since the start
of the highly vital defense program
and jumped to third place in the
second district. Shaw pupils turned
in a total of 1925 pounds.
According to j. G. Logan, Shaw
principal, a committee appointed to
take charge of the campaign has
served notice on other schools that
Shaw intends to gain first place.
Three Surpass Half Ton.
Besides Shaw, three other schools
exceeded the half-ton mark, two of
them almost making a full ton.
They were Chevy Chase Elementary
with 1914, Wheatley with 1904 and
Woodbridge with 1903.
Other schools showing excellent
progress over last weeks collections
were Brookland. which nearly dou-
bled the previous mark; Taft Junior,
which leaped from 27O pounds to
759; Langdon, from $40 to $40;
Langley Junior, from 100 to ABS:
Emery, from ITO to 673, and Terrell
Junior, which Increased from go
to 1856.
Drive Steps Up Pace.
The response so far this week has
been encouraging. Many schools
early in the campaign depended for
the paper on only few pupils, who
Immediately realized the seriousness
of the need for scrap paper and
kept their schools in the program
of collections. The faithful partic-
ipation by these few has inspired
others and the drive is gaining
momentum rapidly.
Up to now two schools have made
two tons in one day, one ton and
a half and four a ton. With the
enthusiasm being shown in such
schools as Jefferson Junior, the city
