TIN COLLECTION
 NEXT SATURDAY
Waterburians Asked to Cooperate in Effort to
 Reach Official Quota

Waterburians were urged again to do their utmost to further their ef- forts in the tin can salvage cam paign which will be carried out in the vicinity south of East and West Main streets, Saturday, September 4, announced J. Warren Upson, chair man of the salvage committee for this district, today.
 This city's contribution has im- proved considerably which is per- hapes largely due to the excellent publicity given to this purpose in The Democrat, said MT. Upson.
 In a recent addition of the Con- necticut Salvage publication, it was revealed that 51 towns have thus far failed to collect cans for the war ef- fort However, Waterbury's con- tribution during the month of July hit the amount of 49,685 pounds, the publication revealed.
 All housewives and other users of foods that come in tin cans are asked to remove the label from the empty cans, cut both ends of the cans, invert the ends and then flat ten them by simply placing them on the protected floor and adding a lit- tie foot pressure, said MT. Upson.
 That's the most simple part of the job," said MT. Upson, but the most important thing we want to impress upon the people is for them to save every last can they use."
 T know so many people who go around with the attitude that says Oh, dear, I forgot to save that can well, I'll salvage the next one. These people may as well realize that they are unconsciously saying: Oh, dear, I guess I'm responsible for that soldiers death. Well, I'll see what I can do about saving the next ones life."
