Jefferson Junior Hiqh
Rings Bell Again With
New Salvage Records
Exceeds All Expectations
By Collecting 8,002
Pounds in Single Day

jefferson Junior High School,
consistently at the top or near it in
The Evening Star-P.-T. A. Salvage
for Victory Campaign, yesterday
rang up two more records for the
other schools to shoot at.
The best record for single days
collection was scored when total
of 505 pounds Of magazines and
TAFT pounds of paper or a grand
total of 5000 pounds were collected.
This is a greater total than Jefter-
son has turned in for the entire
campaign up to yesterday.
One individual section of IS stu
dents collected more than ton of
this amount, the first time section
has passed the one-ton mark.
jefferson had so much paper Prin-
cipal Hugh Smith thought the en-
tire southwest area could not con-
tain one more stray comic section.
But as collection trucks pulled up
to haul away the estimated three
tons Of paper collected in less than
week, Mike Pappafotis, Student
Council president, told the students
to go ringing doorbells and asking
for paper for defense"
Graduating Class Gives Ton.
One ton was donated to Jefferson's
Parent-Teacher Association, which
is sponsoring the drive in co-opera-
ton with The Star, by the three
sections of the class to be graduated
Thursday night. The ton amassed
by 35 members of only one section
came from a class led by Katherine
Leathers, 16, of 476 G street SW.
Katherine was chosen by acclaim
of her classmates as the hardest
worker in the section drive. She
worked in free periods Friday in
spite of sore foot, ringing door
bells up and down Virginia avenue
S.W. The section chose as the next
three hardest workers Robert May,
Lyle Sherman and Wesley Donald
son.
Every member of the class secured
the neighborhood, said their teacher,
Mrs. Glenn Richard. The week be-
fore it led the school, but with only

Defense Rescue Squad
.Sweurs in 56 Women

The civilian defense rescue squad
was swelled last night as 56 mem
bers Of the District unit Of the
American Women's Voluntary Serv-
ices were sworn In as members Of
the group. Col. Lemuel Bolles, Dis
trict defense director, spoke at the
ceremonies.
The rescue squad now will have q
picked group Of A. w. v. 8. volun-
teers. Members of this group, 28
from the day section, the other 28
from the night section, under the
leadership Of Mrs. Daniel G. Long
and Miss Alice Fowler, are graduates
in flrst aid, civilian defense, motor
corps and canteen work, training
representing IA hours Of study.
Having taken the oath In the
rescue squad, new members will be
passed through the r. B. I. and
police records, and will then receive
rescue squad stickers and emblems.

ior students, besides Mike Pappa-
fotis, also vice president Of the class,
are Dolores Naylor, Lorraine Garner
and Frank Kidwell, presidents of the
three sections, and Raymond Cogs-
we'll and Billy Weddington, president
and secretary, respectively, of the
entire class.
Despite its comparatively small
student body, Jefferson has been a
leader in the campaign since its
start in December. Jefferson stu
dents are credited with stirring up
students in other leading schools
Bancroft, Barnard and Lafayette
Elementary Schools, and Roosevelt
High School.
This record has been established
by jefferson despite the relatively
small population of the area in
which it is located, at Eighth and
streets SW. In weekly tabulations
it has been first twice, third once
and fourth once, for the entire city.
Strenuous work by students In other
schools probably will be necessary
to take the lead away for at least
another week.

 London, Sept. 2s = Listen to a eatafaghter tell about his job, and gou begin to wonder if, perhaps, he and his comrades are not the hFavest afrmen of them all. For sheEe gallant fighters, once their air Battle is over, cannot return to an airport. They must abandon their planes and parachute into the sea.
 A Catafighter, you probably know, is the flghter-pilot of one of the catapult planes with which Britain is equipping its merchant ships as protection against Nazi aerial and submarine convoy raid- CTS. He sits there, strapped tight " in the cockpit of his Hurricane, his head pressed hard against the headpad so that the terrific jerk of the plane being launched from a standstill to 100- -mile-an-hour clip won't snap his neck.
 SKY FIGHT DECIDES
 FATE OF CONVOY
 The Catafghter gives the "all- set" nod. There is sharp explo- sion, and the little plane shoots into space, dipping seaward for 8 few seconds but, with the stick pulled back hard, quickly climb ing in tight spirals toward the German bomberS overhead.
 On the deck of the convoy ship the Cataf1ghter has just left, crew and captain to watch the airmen battle. The fight will determine whether ships of the convoy are to be bombed and machine -gunned

APPLE PROBLEM
 CONFRONTS N. E.
Bumper Crop Now Avail- able for Consumers; CO-
 operation Needed
BY JOHN CHANDLER President New York and New England Apple Institute)

EnSIanu AppAc 1nSSlCuteJ
 The problem confronting the New England apple industry at Harvest time, 1922, is not unlike the emer- gency situation caused by the 1888 hurricane. The hurricane emergency was met by a wonderful spirit of CO., operation in New England, which moved the blow-down crop quickly and saved the day. The apple in dustry is hoping for the same sort of cooperation this year.
 Crop Larger than last year. The overall 1942 commercial crop of all varieties of apples will run well over 100000 bushes, compared with 6,080, 900 i'll 1e41. Mcintosh will probably be 25 per cent more than last year; Baldwins double. or more.
 The picking problem is the No. 1 war-year headache. Labor short age has made it necessary to turn to inexperienced help. College and high school students, part-time pickers from offices and factories and every other possible source of apple pickers have been utilized. Or chardists have been working day and night to get the harvest in. Hot weather further complicated the harvesting problem.
 Shortage of storage. Normally, a large percentage of our Mcintosh and the bigger part of the Baldwins go into storage, for orderly market ing. This year, available space for storing apples has been greatly re- duced because of government re- Quirement for storage space for war needs. This means that an unusual ly heavy supply of apples must be moved right of. Baldwins, which are marketed later, must be stored, and there will be very little storage room for Mcintosh.
 The early season abundance of Mcintosh gives real opportunity to our New England consumers. The quality is excellent. The retail prices of apples make them one of the best food val1es on the market. Families will do well to buy apples by the box and keep them in cool place-the best possible solution to the shortage problem. This is the year to can apples and apple sauce, especially right now, with supplies heavy and prices favorable.
 Apples have been designated a Victory Food Special" by the U. s. Department of Agriculture.
 All branches of the trade are CO., operating fully.
 It remains now for the New Eng land public to eat and use more of this fine native fruit.
 New England apples are right here = they do not require use of the country's transportation facili- ties for long hauls. Using more ap- pies this year is good economy, good nutrition and good sense for every New England family.

BUT DOWN.
 The climax to any of these air: battles is not the victory but the cold, icy drop into the sea below. Spitflte pilots oyer the French coast, alter they have put an enemy squadron to rotit, can crlise home and glide down to a nice. relaxed stop upon a grass covered runaway.
 But Hay; and the other pilot sailors like him, have no place to land except to crash into the sea. When they have won, they can only turn their ship upside down and pull the ripcord on their chutes as they droy out. The RAF manages often, to salvage the planes.
 No Atlantic convoy which has been equipped with these Cata-. lighters has lost single ship since the idea was put into practice. Australia and South Africa have picked up the idea, and U. s. Cata- fighters now. accompany American conveys.
