A PENNY FOR CIGARETTES

Erie, Pa, July 14....A year ago
two employees of the General E.
lectric plant here conceived the
idea of asking war workers in the
shops to drop a penny a week in
to Containers distributed about the
buildings to provide a fund with
which to send cigarettes TO the
boys in service. That the idea was
a success is best substantiated by
a report this week that more than
one million pennies, over $40, 900,
have been donated to the keep EN-
smoking fund.
These two workers are Ray
Grappy and Carl Rumberger. Both
have been with General Electric a.
bout two years. The first week
the collections totalled $40. The
second week they reached 500 and
gradually climbed until a record
was established in February of
this year when collections amount.
ed to s3O7.O7.
Cigarettes are sent to all Erie
boys in service.

ks Cooperation i'm Water Supply Use

Every possible means is Delngt
taken by the Metropolitan Utilities
District to assure that Victory
Gardens will have adequate city
water in case of prolonged dry and
hot periods this summer, according
to Walter S. Byrne, General Man
ager of the Metropolitan Utilities
District.
The Utilities District suggests a
voluntary Share the Water plan
to become effective at once.
The plan is simple:
If your house number is odd,-
lending in /, 8, 5. 7. 81 you sprinkle
on the odd numbered Gays OF the
month.
If YOU house number is even,
tending in 2, 4, 6, 8 or zero ycu
sprinkle on the even days Of the
month.
Unlimited water is available for
gardens or lawns from 10 pm. TO Z
am, any day. under the plan.
If water users cooperate with the
plan, District officials believe most
Serious low pressure conditions
may be avoided during dry sum-
mer periods when gardens and
lawns require supplementary water
Normally peak water cOnsurnp-
ton occurs from $50 to 9 in The
evening when a large number of
! Pumpage rate sometimes exceeds
| persons are watering their lawns.
80 million gallons a day during this
| peak. Add t othis load the irrga-
ton of thousands of wartime vic
| tory gardens and pressure is bound
to suffer, despite anything water
plant officials could do. No water
plant, no matter how large or well
equipped, could supply water at
| normal pressure if all water users
sprinkled at the same time.
The "Share the Water plan will
avert these huge peak loads" on
the water plant and distribution
system, help assure everyone ade-
quate water.
The plan is purely voluntary at
present The Utilities District of
ficials are confident that all water
users will want to cooperate fully
so tina restriction will not become
necessary.
The plan is not a rationing plan.
There is no limitation on the am
cunt of water used. The only lin
itation is the time of use. 1t does
not apply to use of water for pur-
poses other than sprinkling. The
plan has bee nuesd successfully in
other cities.
S~prinkling of gardens and lawns
at night, from 10 in the evening to
Z in the morning, any ady, is rec
commended by the Utilities District.
This is good garden practice, con-

and evaporation losses are less.
Ten consecutive days with one
inch or less or fain calls for SUD-
Elementary water, according to the
University of Nebraska Extension
Service bulletins. Watering should
be deep and thorough at intervals
no closer than 4 to 5 days, prefer
ably a week. At least one inch Of
water Should be applied each time
the garden is irrigated. District
officials can see no reason why the
Share the Water plan should
work a hardship on anyone. Sprin-
ling can be easily planned to con-
form with the plan.

Mr. Bridges: MI. President, I
ask that the resolution be referred

probably it would properly go to
