Evening star., 1943-10-10

CouIlnulnR the discussion OF the
Importance of the salvage program,
another opportunity for co-opera-
ton and service is offered parent
teacher associations, through COL
lection of waste paper. AS will be
remembered, in the months follow
ing Pearl Harbor, an enormous
quantity of waste paper was COL
lected through the schools, with
local associations profiting to the
extent of many thousands of dol
lars-all due to the untiring CAM
paign carried on by The Evening
Star. In fact, so much paper was
collected that it became a glut on
the salvage market and the pro-
gram was abandoned until such
time as the surplus was exhausted
and the need again was apparent.
That time has now arrived, and
with its customary philosophical
ness, The Evening Star is inviting
parent-teacher associations to par
ticipate IN another paper collection
program. Acting Supt. Robert L.
Haycock of the public schools is
heartily in accord with the plans
Profiting by mistakes made, it is
hoped that this second effort to COL
lect waste paper Systematically and
thoroughly will proceed smoothly
and with less wasted effort. To that
end, no collection will be made at
any school unless there is at least
500 pounds of paper ready for the
trucks. Paper must be tied securely
In bundles of approximately 40
pounds in weight to facilitate easy
and efficient handling, and it must
be placed so that the truck drivers
will have as little difficulty as pos
Sible in loading. Accounts of COL
lections will be kept by The Star
and monthly checks will be mailed
out as was done before.
I need not urge parent-teacher
presidents and other local leaders to
participate whole-heartedly in this
campaign. for again the need is
urgent. Children will find in this
activity definite outlet for energy

ecution of the war, and alert asso-
Citations will set to work at once
perfecting a salvage organization so
that when collection dates are an
nounced they will be ready to start
with bang. With the ever-increas-
ing number of people resident in
Washington, it should be an easy
task to collect the quota assigned
to this District, and the beneficial
results will be threefold in effect:
Those contributing will be helping
to supply a vital war need those
associations providing the leader
ship will be adding materially to the
amount of money in their treasures,
and last, but far from least. the chill
dren in our schools again will be-
come an integral part of the war
machine we are endeavoring to keep
oiled and running smoothly to ca
pacity.
