Safeway Employees
Aid Rubber Drive

Good news for the rubber drive
campaign came yesterday with the
announcement of j. L. Heathcote, di-
visional manager Of Safeway Stores,
Inc, thatan Washington Safeway
stores will substitute, wherever pos
sible, the rubber now in use with
other materials and the rubber will
be donated to the drive. s~+ @=
Mr.. Heathcote stated that all rub
Der on shopping baskets, shopping
buggies and stocking carts, which in
cludes rubber on the bumpers and
handles, rubber mats from the
checking stands, meat counters, etc.,
rubber cuspidor mats, rubber chair
mats, rubber door mats, and all 9TH
er rubber in the stores that will not
seriously handicap their operations
will be donated to the cause of the
rubber drive campaign. s--
MIR. Heathcote pointed out that
this donation of rubber was in addi-
ton to all the scrap rubber and that
not in use which has been previous
ly donated by the Safeway stores. He
also mentioned that a campaign was
recently carried on among the store
employees throughout the state to
urge each employee to set aside a
day as rubber treasure hunt day at
home, the beach, the lake or the
and that all rubber thus
collected was turned in to the rub
Der drive campaign officials.
'It is hoped through the substi-
tuition of all other materials for rub
Der, wherever possible" said Mr..
Heathcote, shat the rubber recov-
cry campaign will come up to ex-
pectations before it closes on July
10. We are glad to make this con-
tribution toward winning the war in
spite of the fact that it means tax
ing materials actually in use and
going to the expense and trouble of
subStitutions." Il

Bldg. Restrictions
Health Measures
Taken by Council
To guard food supply
from contamination is
objective

Reading of two long ordinances
kept the four city councilmen who
showed up until nearly eleven o.
clock last Tuesday evening. The
ordinances, which were given first
and second readings, related to a
coming law and the first of the new
laws relating to public health. This
one has to do with eating places.
The zoning ordinance sharply de-
fines commercial areas, manufac-
turing areas and the residential
areas are also subdivided Regula-
lions as to the type of houses, build
ings, size Of front and back yards
are included. A list of industries
entirely forbidden is also included
in the ordinance.
The restaurant ordinance provides
for inspection and grading of all
places serving food. Restaurants will
be inspected and given rating. Eat
ing places carrying a 'tC'' grade will
be given six months to bring the
rating up to "sB" or be closed. Re-
quirements are not unduly strict,
merely requiring sanitary condi-
tons and handling.
DR.. Ripley, who will have charge
of the local health center, was pres
ent at the meeting to explain to the
city fathers what the requirements
asked for in the new ordinance were.
He said that the two things most
necessary was the prevention of con-
termination by rats, and flies and
that suitable precautions would be
required not only from restaurants,
but by stores and anyone else hand
ling or preparing food
The third and final reading of the
ordinances will be given at the next
regular meeting of the council in
two weeks. Little other routine bus
mess was transacted.

OFFICE OF WAR
INFORMATION

Here, in question and answer
form, are the major facts about
Selective Service, collected by the
Office of War Information from
the Bureau Of Selective Service
of the War Manpower Commiss-
ion and the Army and Navy De-
partments. An attempt has been
made to touch on most of the
many questions raised, but it shou-
Id be recognized that some basic
information, particularly that de-
aling with future plans, would be
useful to the enemy and cannot be
released.
All arrangements and rulings un-
der the Selective Service are made
for the purpose of obtaining men
the military forces need with the
least dislocation of vital industry
and agriculture. They are there
fore subject to the conditions of
war. Changes may be necessary
from time to time. The answers
given in the following pages are
correct as of the date of this re-
lease. They do not constitute a
binding assurance for the future.
@. Now that voluntary recruit
ing by the Army and Navy has
been stopped, can anyone get into
the armed forces except through
Selective Service.
A. No, except for women, who
will continue to be recruited for the
WAAC, WAVES, SPARS, and ar
my and Navy Nurses Corps, and
a small number of civilians who
may be commissioned in the armed
forces. The army and navy may
enlist specially qualified men over
38. Men who submitted applica-
tons for Army or Navy enlistment
prior to December 5, 1912, may
be enlisted up to December 10.
@. How many will be called thr-
ough Selectiye Service this year !?
