SALVAGE GROUP
MEETS TOMORROW
Children Credited With
Collecting Nearly 30
Tons of Paper

Waterbury schoolchildren, who
collected more than IS tons of old
newspapers and magazines in the
first four days of last week, will soon
be enlisted In the collection of metal,
rags, and rubber, according to j..
Warren Epson, chairman of the To-
cal defense salvage committee.
subcommittee of the Waterbury
salvage group will meet tomorrow
night at the Chamber of Commerce
building to formulate plans for the
additional collection by Waterbury
pupils. If the youngsters can con-
tribute as effectively to the cam
paign to prevent destruction of these
essentials as they have already to
tn paper collection, their services
will prov very valuable.
The papers garnered through the
pupils efforts last week were sold
at $40 ton, with two thirds of the
rest covering the general expenses OF
proceeds going to the school and the
collection. The addition of the
amounts collected on Friday, for
which figures are not yet available,
will probably bring the weeks to-
tai to nearly 80 tons.
A general collection in Waterville
for Sunday has been announced by
Boy Scout Troop 81, and residents
who have papers and magazines to
contribute are asked to call F. T.
Hoadley, 3-4073, or Carleton Bird,

. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON .

pational bulletins was begun in
April, 1912, the list broadened.
War Department requested ex-
emption for civilian pilots. The
surgeon general asked exemp-
ton for commissioned officers
of the Public Health Service.
Navy asked for exemption of
marine pilots. Bureau of Mines
asked for coal miners. Office of
defense transportation asked for
railway transport workers. Mari
time Commission asked for ship
builders. Shipping Administra-
ton for water transportation
workers. The Power Co-ordi-
nator for all workers in electric
power generation and distribu-
ton. The National Roster of
Scientific and Specialized Per-
sonnet for accountants, chem
lists, economists, IL kinds of en-
gineers, naval architects, phys
icists, psychologists and statisti-
clans.
When the VINO took over, it
tried to bring order out of this
by issuing new directives on
what local draft boards should
consider essential industries, and
then the list really grew. In 10
occupational bulletins it has
inspired, exemptions have been
asked by VINO for approxi-
mately these: so trades in metal
lie and non-metallic mining; 80
professions in flying school in
struction, $50 trades in aircraft
productions 100 trades in petro-
leum, natural gas and gasoline
drilling and refining; $50 trades
in the smelling, mining and roll
ing of metals; air ferry pilots; all
agricultural workers; 60 trades
in forestry and numbering; so
trades in food processing indus
tries, and over 400 trades in all
branches of the rail, water and
air transportation industries.
One moral of this is not that
here are over a thousand ready
made holes through which the
draft law may be lodged. An
other moral is that the man.
power peoples are going to have
to get busy and train enough
women and unskilled workers to
permit these deferred men to
ply their trades in the Army.

my FATHER IN CHINA"
by James Burke (Farrar & Rine-
hart; So.
James Burke's MY Father in
China" is among the best books,
in two classifications. 1t is one
Of the best of the father books,
and it is close to tops as a study
of Chinese manners and activity
through the last so years.
Fortunately, MIR. Burke did
not caricature his father, as Clar-
ence Day did The elder Burke
is a Southern Methodist mission
airy of great capacity, command
ing physique, deeply held SYM
pathies. But i. is easy to carica-
ture a missionary and / imagine
it is hard to resist the opportun-
ity even when the subject is
your own father. Mr. Burke has.
1t is Just as easy to be funny
about Chinese habits OF life, they
being the antithesis of our own.
But here again our author has
been content to tell the truth
with good humor and apprecla-
ton. He must be petty bal
anced person.
The elder Burke went out TO
China from southern Georgia.
He would have gone as doctor
had not his superiors IN their
wisdom insisted the denomlna-
ton had plenty of doctors
which was not the fact. After
a brief interval, in Shanghai,
Burke Senior went to Sungkiang
and at last account he still was
there-he and the Japanese. He
made a bad start by offending
Chinese custom in a strange
way. Some paper with writing
on il was discovered to be de
filed by the farmer who bought
the mission night soil, and this
showed disrespect for learning
and almost caused a riot. But
Burke won.
He found himself forced to be
doctor and dentist as well as
preacher. He kept opium sui
cides alive by shocking them
with homemade battery and
coil; he pulled teeth with a pair
of pliers and poured calomel,
auinine and castor oil down
thousands of throats. Once ne
frightened away some river pir-
ates by emerging with yells and
grimaces from beneath photo
grapher's cloth, and again he
made himself persona grata with
the local officials by simple
job of firefighting.
The old gentleman knew
Charlie Soon in America, and he
kept on knowing him through
the days when, his name again
made Chinese as Soong, he was
the founder of the remarkable
dynasty so potent today in Chin
csc affairs. He taught, he preach
ed. and above all he loved the
