City Issues New
Trash Collection
Ruling for &c.
Unusual Conditions Are
Blamed by Heinecke for
Breakdown of Schedule

Increasing amounts of rubbish
and waste have SO overtaXed the
city's collection facilities that reg
ular schedules of collection have
been demoraliZed, it was revealed
wednesday by Public Works Direc-
tor, Walter Heinecke.
In an effort to restore efficient
disposal service, new order con-
corning trash collection will go
into effect Monday, Nov. Is. After
this date, no waste material Will
be collected except paper, rags,
glass. crockery, and grass, tree and
shrub trimmings, and these only If
deposited in proper containers. Con-
tainerS must not weigh over 100
pounds and may not obstruct the
olley. Garbage must be kept in en-
tirely separate containers.
These new restrictions, said Helm
ecke, we're made necessary by war
time conditions which have kept
people busy on home improvements.
Tire and gasoline rationing, he ex-
planned, have held numerous resi-
dents at home. With their extra
spare time, citizens have done more
landscaping and gardening than
ever before.
In addition, general cleanups of
yards and grounds have produced
much hidden debris. This has re-
suited in an unprecedented deposit
of brick, concrete, sod, clay, plaster,
tree stulmps, logs, limbs, roots and
trimmings in the city's allays.
To cooperate with the home and
city beautifiers, the public works de-
partment undertook to handle the
enormous load. The extra service
proved to be beyond the capacity
of the city's equipment and crews,

forthright official pronouncements
on the Allied intentions regarding
a second front in western Europe.
The second front will be opened
-"across this narrow strip of chan

moment, Devers made plain, adding
that he himself was as impatient
of delays as anyone else.
DISLIKES DELAYS
Il dislike delays" he said, but
it takes time and careful planning
to transport vast amounts OF equip
ment and train men to utilize 1t

He limited at a belief that the
European war already is moving TO-

against over-optimiSm, and called
on every contributor to the Allied
war effort to maintain unremittinS
efforts.
I'VE are eager to fight" Devers
said observing that was the only
reason for American troops COM
ing to Britain. 1--WE want to get at
the enemy as quickly as possible.
The weather and water may slow us
up, but nothing can prevent final
victorious battle"
II don't know when the war will
be over" he said. THE final battle
may come tomorrow or the next day
or one year hence. Meanwhile there
is full time job for every one.
There must be no slowing down
in the effort of a single individual
because any such would only result
in the loss of production of neces-
sary equipment, which would cost
