$3.50 Pounds Turned In
Yesterday; General
Collections Soar

A new high mark for the current
collection Of waste paper in The
Evening Star-P-TA Salvage for
Victory program was set yesterday
by Shaw Junior High School, which
turned in the very impressive total
of $3.50 pounds.
Shaw. which is located at Seventh
street and Rhode Island avenue
NV, was a late starter in the last
campaign, but when it did swing
into action started out as though
intent on leading the city. Some
where along the line interest seemed
to lag, and while Shaw was among
the leaders, it failed to land among
the first five
This year Shaw jumped away to
a good start with 2,02l pounds for
the first week. 1t now has a grand
total of 8,70l pounds, which, Incl
dentally, already has earned the
school approximately $50.
Total Skyrockets.
Collections on Monday OF this
over the first week, when only 4,239
pounds were picked up. This week
the total skyrocketed to 2O,O77
pounds. The first week, of course,
reflected the hasty start of the pro-
gram, when only day of prepa-
ration was given.
With four more schools to be in
cluded in next Mondays collection,
it is probable that the totals will
be considerably better.
Among the big producers on Mon
day this week were Giddings with
1850 pounds, high for the day; Ran
