Watertown. December a, -- Stu dents of Watertown High school pre- sented a Christmas assembly before parents, faculty members, and the student body, Wednesday morn. ing h the high school auditorium.
 The program opened with the presentation of a one.act play" Pop Reads the Christmas Carol" The play, which was under the direc. ton of Patrick Fontane, high school faculty member, was espe- cially we'll given and much credit should be given to MT. Fontaine, the members of the cast and to the stage crew, which was under the direction of Bronson Hickcox, aS- sisted by Donald Flynn.
 Members of the cast were Pop Leon pintoit: Mother - Flora Mac Innes: Paul, elder son, Thomas Roberts; Mary, daughter - Shirley Moseley: Junior, younger son - Jack Hoffman; Jane, Pauls girl friend Nancy Terrill; Jack, Mary's boy friend = Paul Klem. chuk.
 Following the presentation of the play a Christmas medley was given by the high school symphony or- chestra, and the mixed choir, under the direction of AlphonSo Cavallaro, music instructor. This marked the occasion of the first public appear ance of these musical organizations this year and much applause was given their number.
 Included in the Christmas carol medley were such favorites as "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing" silent Night" "it Came Upon the Midnight Clear, "Oh Little Town of Bethlehem, and 70 Come All Ye Faithful" After the program Principal William R.

bring extraordinary reSults-just as
the waste paper collection turned up

wage obsolete machinery. This is
in great quantity and of high grade.
Industry Good Source.
WPB considers industrys decision
to scrap old but costly dies real
concession to the war effort. For
months industry insisted all other
sources be tapped before calling in
these high-grade steel products.
Now self determining" committees
will inventory the industry as final

WPB anticipates highly important
contributions to the national stock

Furthermore, most industrial
plants will have installed the Erie

Many of them will go further. send

81 million net tons of new steel
this year compared with 80 2500,0o0

Last September the Army Quar-

have bone buttons put on uniforms

bronze. Officers are finding it diff
ficult. even now. to replace gleam-
ing shoulder insignia. In the near
future these may be made of SUBJ
stitutes.
There is talk of asking folks to
turn in brass ash trays and other
normally insignificant metal items
which they can spare. The Govern
ment finally may require store
stocks of non-essential aluminium
and copper kitchen utensils.
Charles H. Macarthur, chief of the
industrial salvage section of the Bu-
reau of Industrial Conservation says
a 10-million ton stock pile of scrap
will be necessary to keep steel pro-
duction at it's present level through
next winter.
Others say that if Iron Age pro-
duction forecasts are to be met. at
least 100000 Of the prospective
81 100000 tons of new steel must
be made from non-industrial scrap.
Industry estimates that 70 per cent
of scrap heretofore used in steel was
salvaged from industrial plant oper-
ations, leaving 30 per cent to come
from non-industrial or junk yard

partments, the graduate school has
courses especially designed to meet
the emergency.
DR.. Edmund A. Walsh, S. j., regent
of the foreign service school, and
DR.. Thomas H. Healy. dean, have
revised many of the schools courses
as a result of the war. One OF the
new courses is in war accounting
problems under the instruction OF
Prof. Henry w. Sweeney, which
analyzes systems used by Govern
ment agencies. Maj. w. Heck OF
the Army also will give a course
in credits and collections.
The school of foreign service was
one of the first in the United States
to revise its schedule of courses at
the start of the European War.
For that reason it has been able
to keep these courses in close touch
with war developments without diff
ficulty. They range from studies
of economic warfare to Latin Amer
ican relations and present an eX-
ceptionally wide opportunity for
students training for domestic as

and reared in Washington.
This is the first year all depart
ments Of Georgetown will have op-
Grated during the summer. Under
the accelerated program adopted for
the duration of the war, students
may enter for the first time at the
start of either one of the three
academic terms. While registrations
so far for the summer term are
not quite up to the mark of last

Georgetown has medical and in

Training School, the infantry unit
being open to foreign service and
college students. Limitations are
placed on new admissions to the
basic course for first and second

both subjects being highly desirable

Rosenwald called such dealers q
threatened bottleneck" and said
scrap was piling up in their yards
from manufacturers. from emer-
gency scrapping OF unused bridges,
streetcar and railway tracks. from
auto graveyards and from farms and
homes" He charged that some
dealers were lax in handling these
new accumulatiOns, sometimes
holding them back to force lower
prices on future local purchases.
Meantime, Macarthur says many
steel mills are operating with but
two days scrap supply. True, say
officials, but whereas 20 blast fur
naces were down 80 days ago, none
is idle today, and long trains OF
scrap snake into mill yards daily.
They are disappointed, however,
that mills have been unable to build
up the stockpiles expected by this
time of year. Hence the July metals
roundup.
Scrap Helpful, Not Vital.
For this WPB will have 10000
local citizens committees with 49,
900 working members out after
junked metals. These volunteers
helped increase iron and steel scrap
from 1861 900 gross tons last July
to 2,253, 800 in April-exceeding con-
sumption for the first time this
year.
Important as scrap is, the steel
industry would not exactly go to pot
without it,
Plants using the Bessemer process
can employ iron ore exclusively,
100 900, 900 tons Of which came by
way of the Great Lakes alone last
year. Electric furnaces require a
certain amount of scrap, but there
is no set rule and the amount varies
widely. Most would like to have
100 per cent scrap because it expe-
dites production, but they have
been getting about As per cent
scrap and 55 per cent iron ore.
So-oficials advise the public to
stand by Tor call 10 rouno up Juilh
metals when all the machinery is
ready to move it. They learned
from the aluminium campaign not
to rush in without adequate prepa-
ration for transportation and stor-
age. Huge piles cluttered city dumps,
sometimes defeating the purpose of
the program.
Rubber Must Be Sorted.
In some ways the present rub
ber- collection campaign, too, is a
headache. Dealers normally ham
ding only tires and tubes find their
yards flooded with all sorts of ma
terials which must be stripped, clas-
sified and shipped separately to the
manufacturers of this or that prod
duct. Reclaimers will not take he'll
ter -skelter shipments of scrap.
For example. auto floor mats pa
triotically turned in will not make
tires or retreads. The rubber in
mats is too low grade, yet millions

livery trucks of Is per cent, the
Office Of Defense Transportation re-
ported. Some 200 milk dealers the
country over, including six in Wash
ington, are now using this rubber
saving idea. ODT said it had re-
ceived 100 different ideas for cut
ting down the number of milk
deliveries. Some scheme whereby
the housewife may get her milk
every day may still be worked out.
WPB has placed butadiene, basic
ingredient used in making buna-
type synthetic rubber, on an allo-
cations basis to make certain it will
reach the desired manufacturers.
Producers who make Jess than tons
of butadiene a month are excepted
from the order.
A separate regulation setting top
prices for the sale of all toys and
games will be issued soon by OpA.
Prices of these things now are un-
der the general maximum price regu-
lation, rejecting March levels. Since
toys and games usually are seasonal,
with most sold around Christmas,
OPA probably will set another date
as guide for price ceilings.
The order limiting production of
razors and razor blades has been
extended by WPB from June % to
July 81. Safety razors will continue
to be made at 10 per cent of the
production rate in 1910, while razor
blades and straight razors will con-
tinue at 100 per cent Of the 1910
rate. No copper NAV be used in
razors except for plating, and it is
expected that safety razors soon will
be made of plastics.
WPB has revised and brought up
to date its booklet, "Priorities in
Force" compilation of all priori-
ties orders, which will be available
for distribution early next month.
