Reynolds, chairman Of the salvage

Council has received very compli-

executive secretary of the state
salvage committee in which he
praises Thomaston on its recent
growth of the fats salvage. Thorn
aston reached SO per cent Of Its
quota for the month of May. Mrs.
Clemow's letter is as follows:
Dear Mr.. Reynolds:
We are very gratified as you will
be, to note a distinct growth in
your grease collections, as you will
see on the enclosed chart.
ThomaSton has made such sub
stantial gain since February that
we are very interested in just how
you are accomplishing it. Does this
mean that you have contacted all
butcher shops and secured their
support?
We would appreciate hearing
from you as to what you think has
been the cause of this upturn.
Cordially yours, Bice Clemow, ex-
ecutive secretary for Connecticut.
Mr.. Reynolds replied that the
cooperation of newspapers and To-
cal storekeepers was largely respon-
sible for the splendid response OF
Thomaston housewives. Mr.. Rey-
nolds hopes to reach the 100 per
cent mark in this fats drive and
requests all housewives to save
greases and fats as this material Is
urgently needed as a basis for
making gun powder.

Auto Stamp Sale Heavy

'7s*1O
Postmaster Frederick Flynn re-
ports that there was an unusually
heavy rush in the sale of auto use
stamps Wednesday at the local post
office. 500 stamps were sold during
the day. Approximately 1000 stamps
have been sold up to July /. This
amount is approximately 600 less
than was sold last year probably due
to the fact that number of people
are not driving their car because
of the bann on pleasure driving.
Others are waiting to see if the
bann will be lifted before they pur-
chase their stamp. Car owners
have until July 81 to purchase these
stamps.

MONEY OR YOUR TRIGGER-FINGER

Some of the boys in some of the bust
ness houses and in some defense jobs in Key

that 20 per cent withholding tax was taken
out of their pay envelopes. and it is asSum-
ed some of the boys. whose wages or sal
aries are paid semi-monthly or monthly.
will squawk bit also. And it is further as
sumed that there was bit of squawking
throughout the country.
But at least one Key WeSter hit the nail
on the head when he made this remark:i ,
Il have good reason to believe that Key
West boys are included in the forces thar
invaded Sicily. How does 20 per cent. less
exemptions. stack up against that?
Wouldn't you rather pay several times 20
per cent than to be in the hellfire in Sicily.
or in Munda, or in Salamaua? OF what con-
sequence is this thing money compared with
fighting in this war? The good that money
does is TO keep well equipped the men who
are fighting for Us. It's puerile to ask.
Wouldn't you rather supply the money
than TO risk your life?' and my only reason
for asking it is to show you how lucky we
are. here on the home front.
TIE machinery of the United States IN
prosecuting the war Is so vast. the talk
about money in keeping the machinery in
action seldom is in terms of millions Bill
lions IS the apt term today. and millions are
referred TO much in the way that the people
of few generations ago referred 10 thou
sands.
And more billions must be raised. Secrc-
tary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau.
Jr. has announced another bond sale for
September
And millions of dollars are being raised
daily through the sale of the l0-year ma
turity bonds, with cumulative interest. but.
despite the daily sales and the special drives.
the Withholding tax IS not going TO remain
at 20 per cent. The longer the war continues
the higher the tax will be, but. whatever
figure it goes to, you. on the home front
should be thankful that you are fighting
the war with your money and not with
your erigger-finger. entailing the risk OF
losing your life.
