STORM CURTAILS TIN COLLECTION.
IA Tons Salvaged Satur. day By City Employees;
 Scrap Metal Here

More than i& tons of salvaged tin cans were collected Saturday by l6 Waterbury Street Department trucks throughout the northern vicinity, the first collection made since January {.
 Street Superintendent Herbert Scott-Smith said the department had two problems to contend with; 1t had to collect the tin cans and at the same time had to clear some of them in streets of sleet and snow. However, the total collected filled one freight car, according to Mir. Scott- Smith.
 Many more tons might have been collected except that people failed to put their collections out because they thought the weather would warrant no pickup that day, J. Warren Upson, chairman of the salvage committee, pointed out.
 Trucks were operated until late in the afternoon to accomplish the job, said MT. Scott. Smith.
 Campaign Figures
 Records of tin can collections for nearby communities were released by the Hartford office of the WIPE. Watertown held one collection in November and collected 7,S00 pounds. Cheshire collected S,700 piunds of cans in December. Nau. gatuck held its only collection in December and picked up 4,2l0 pounds.
 Housesold scrap metal amounting to four hundred tons is ct the Commercial Iron and Metal Com. pany awaiting distribution to steel mills, said Q spokesman for the yard last night.
 This past terrible" winter was the reason for the delay in shipping this scrap heap out sooner.
 Industrial Metal
 The yard had to handle the civil- Ian scrap donations plus the steady How of industrial metal, 1t was pointed out. The industrial metal comprises most of each car shipped to mills.
 About 90 tons of scrap still in Wolcott since the last drive is ex- pected to he brought into the yard soon. However, bad weather over the weekend again detained State Highway Department trucks, which were scheduled to move the metal,

to the matter of Christian wltne1n This Is the very crux of the problem as far as the modern church is con- cerned. Tn the days of the Early Church almost all Christian be- lievers were witnesses. They had c burning enthusiasm, radiant spirit. an unwavering confidence which made 1t impossible for them to Gc other than testify of the things they most surely believed. Their churches grew in those early days, not ny simple addition of few converts, nov and again at stated seasons, oe ny the birth and growth of their Chii- dren, those churches grew by oun- tinual multiplication.
