AS the Districts tin can salvage
program neared the end of its fourth
week, salvage officials reported to-
day improvement in the amount of
prepared cans collected and said
they expected to send the fourth
carload to the defining plant some
time tomorrow.
William A. Xanten, supervisor of
city refuse, estimated that 10000
to 10000 pounds of tin cans will
have been shipped from Washing
ton with this latest load.
He joined with Horace Walker,
executive secretary of the District
Salvage Committee, in urging that
more householders save their old
cans, prepare them properly and set

Girl Scouts Helping.
Girl Scouts were corralled into
service today with the announce
ment by the District Salvage Com
mittee that small retail stores not
accommodating sufficient hosiery fol-
1O0-pound shipments may have
their l2-to-15-pound collections
picked up by Girl Scouts.
Small retail stores in the down.
town area are asked to deliver their
hosiery collections weekly to the
nearest official shipping depot. The
following department stores have
been designated as shipping depots
for the hosiery salvage program:
Hecht's, Kann's, Lansburgh's, Wood
ward e. Lothrop, Palais Royal,
Jelleff's, Garfnckels, Sears-Roebuck
& Co, Goldenbergs, Ida's and
Hahn's Arcade Shoe Store.
Small stores not in the downtown
area are requested to call the Dis
trict Salvage Committee, which will
relay the request to Girl Scouts for
pickup.
Wash the Hose First.
One of the city's leading depart
ment stores headed the list with
1000 pounds collected, and two
other stores were next with $50 and
400 pounds. Women are asked to
wash their hose before turning
them in. Mixtures of silks and ny

Certain Areas Slow.


There are certain areas in all
parts of the city that have not par
ticipated as much as we would like y
Mr.. Xanten said today. He also
admitted that some housewives con-
tinue to place out their collection of
cans without proper preparation.
Cans must be washed out thor
oughly, the labels removed, bottoms
and tops cut off and tucked inward,
and then the can smashed fiat. Cans
thus prepared should be placed in
a container that won't break up in
the rain and then left out for the
garbage collector.

President F.D.R.
Pleased With
Ordnance Plant
Appearance of Negro Workers At
Plant Pleases Roosevelt

When President Roosevelt visited
the Twin Cities Ordnance plant at
New Brighton a few censored days
ago one of the first employees to
acknowledge his wave of greeting
was a Negro guard, Ben ]. Ritchey.
Many of the almost 500 Negro en-
ployes were on duty.
The President is understood to
have expressed pleasure and great
interest in the fact that Negro
workers were observed working in
many departments of the huge
munition factory alongside en-
ployes of other races and creeds.
The chief executive had a fine
tan and his looks belied the news
reel and newspaper photos of re-
cent months which showed wan
and drawn.
Federal Cartridge Corp. officials
and plant operators, it is rumored,
were quizzed by F. D. R. on how
they had so successfully integrated
Negro workers.
Twin City Ordnance was the only
small arms plant visited by the
President in his secret transcon-
tinental and the only war plant in
this state he toured.
This newspaper along with other
papers kept news of his trip to the
Twin Cities secret.

Depicts Negro
Here's Role

IA new Don't Talk Army"
poster at Selfridge Field depicts
the heroics of Pvt. Robert H.
Brooks, a Negro member of the
Armored Force, who gave his life
in defense of the Philippine Islands
at Fort Stotsenberg.
Justify His Sacrifice" is the
plea of the poster designed, pub
lished and distributed at this Army
Air Base by the So (intelligence)
section. 1t states that "Private
Robert H. Brooks did not hesitate
in giving his life in the defense of
his country. Would you make his
sacrifice unnecessary by revealing
information that might cause other
members of our Armed Forces to
lose their lives while en- route to
combat areas? Don't Talk

Also printed on the three-color
poster is the following statement
made by Major General J. L. Dew
ers on Dec. %, 1871:
"For the preservation of Ameri-
ca, the soldiers and sailors guard
ing our outposts are giving their
