board is also keenly aware OF the
emergency needs in the area of the
moral and spiritual.
Encroachment by other than re-
ligious groups are constantly made
on the day set aside for rest and
worship.
I'VE regret that the authorities
have seen fit to use the early hours
OF the day Of worship for collection
, of scrap. Our people without a
doubt will cooperate fully in this
collection, but it is earnestly hoped
that in the future the day of rest
and worship will be kept as free as
is possible for its intended purpose. /"
The Scrap Committee previously
had decided against protests for the
collection being held on Sunday.
DR.. John K. Cartwright pastor
of Immaculate Conception Church,
Eighth and N streets NV, said in
commenting on the Sunday angle Of
the collection:
Since it is an emergency, don't
see any great objection to the Sum
day drive. But authorities should
be careful about taking measures
that either would disturb the sa-
credness OF Sunday or interfere
with the opportunity OF people to
worship on Sunday"
He revealed he is looking for sal
vageable scrap items In the base
ment of the Immaculate Concep-
ton Church.
The regular salvage depots for
the collection, organized along the
line of the 81 civilian defense
areas. will collect scrap durinx
a sustained drive throughout the
duration, but it is admitted by the
special campaign sponsors that the
amounts collected September 20 and
September q will consequently
tighten or increase the burden i'm
posed during the remaining three
months of this year.
Imperative Before Winter.
To aid the regular drives, Sec
retary of War Stimson said yester-
day that Army trucks and crews
would assist in scrap drives when
ever needed, except on Sundays.
While the soldiers will have no part
in the two Sunday drives, their as
sistance is expected to be of vital
Importance in the months ahead.
In deciding to hold special. col
lections, spaced one week apart and
| embracing the entire District, the
Commissioners took heed of War
Production Board Chairman Donald
Nelson's exhortation that it is i'm
perative to gather metal scrap be-
fore winter arrives. Junk processing
plants must be insured a steady
source Of material in order to keep
steel furnaces busy, it was pointed
out today.
