Editor. The Junior Star.


Don't throw away this newspaper
its valuable!
AS you doubtless know, there's a
critical shortage Of paper. That's
why The. Junior Star has been re-
duced from full page to about one
half page. It's also why all news
papers and magazines have become
smaller.
Old paper can be used in the man
ufacture OF new paper. Hence the
salvaging Of waste paper-news-
papers, magazines and cardboard
is important.
Last year The Star, in cooperation
with the Parent Teacher Associa-
ton, conducted campaign in which
boys and girls salvaged more than
1000, 900 pounds Of paper. From the
sale OF this waste the schools that
participated realized more than 500
600, which was used to purchase
equipment, provide lunches for
underprivileged pupils and carry on
other worthwhile activities.
Now the drive is on again, under
the same joint sponsorship. II YOU
go to a school that is taking part in
the campaign, start now to save all
the newspapers and magazines that
come to your home-and, of course,
all the old cardboard you can find.
too. But don't stop with your own
nome: visit the homes of your
nelghbors, asking them to save all
their waste paper for you. Then,
when you've accumulated a respect
able pile. turn it in at your school.
But even if your school isn't among
those participating in the drive, you
can help. You can turn your COL
lections over to boy or girl whose
school is campaigning for waste
paper. Or. If you prefer, you can
take your paper to the office Of the
District Salvage Committee in the
Albee Building. Or, II you want to
earn some money for war stamps,
you can sell your paper to a Junk
dealer. The important thing is that
you salvage the paper-and the more,
the better!
