TROY NEWS,
TROY SCHOOL SUCCESSFUL IN
JEEP DRIVE
Observation-Disclosures

JEEP DRIVE
The Troy school successfully
completed its drive to buy an army
ieep. with a total of three ieeps
purchased. The goal, which origin
ally was single jeep, was adj
vanced, and ended with over $500
more than the price of the three
ieeps sold in bonds and stamps by
the students. This was another
very worthy contribution to the
war efforts of our country by the
Troy School, under the sponsor
ship of Mr.. Mckay. The students
entered into the nationwide scrap
at the beginning of the year and
collected more than any other
school in the state, and used their
ambition and enthusiasm further in
the ieep drive. The next project
in which they will take part is the
second war loan drive, which Is
being conducted all over the nation.
Plans for the participation of the
high school students have not been
completed as yet. but it Is planned
that they will get pledges to buy
bonds from toWnspeople. Troy's
Quota in the drive has been an
nounced as SIS, 900 so when the stu
dents come around and ask for your
help, give it to them.
The question of helping in the
drive as a body was put to the stu
dents last week in the form of a
ballot. The votes were unanimous
! " in favor of it. The high school
has adopted this as its slogan for
the drive: I'VE bought three jeeps,
what have you done2'

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-Anoth-
er fussy little item viii disc; &.
from grocery shelves in the gen.
eral onslaught to save paper. The
War Production Board says you
can't buy individually-boxed cere-
ais after the present supply is
gone. The more economical fam
ily-sized boxes will have to do.
Candy, hosiery and knit wear
boxes are coming under strict linn
itation as to the weight and type
of packa ging materials used. Box
es for rayon stockings only will
be permitted to have liner. WPB
really means business on the con-
servation of paper.
The Army, usually crotchety
customer about what it buys, is
doing its bit for the folks at home
by accepting some shipments in
lighter boxes of type that re-
quires less strategic materials.
SPRINGS ARE HERL
New metal bedSprlngS Will be
back in the market soon. Some
models will have ceiling prices
from a dollar to dollar and a
half lower than maximums for
wood frame bedsprings of similar
type.
The knotty question of why sub
stitutes cost as much Or more than
the original metal article has per
picked many a disgruntled house
wife. Wooden strollers are on the
market at prices ike $685.. They
obviously don't promise the dura-
bility of metal ones. The Office
of Price Administration points out
that they can't price on durability
They must take account of cost.

To Save Paper, Good Things
Must Come In LARGE Boxes

featuring often costs more, par
ticularly at first.
ADD GYLCERINE
If you had a recipe for denti-
frlce, flavor, shaving cream, or
tablet adhesive, you would very
likely find it called for gylcerine.
The War Food Administration will
release small quantity Of glyce-
rine for these purposes beginning
October l. Many manufacturers
have been without it since March,
1912. They have found it irnpos-
sible to use anything in its place
satisfactorily.
| The release of glycerine shows
that supplies are up to minimum
requirements. However, in order
to keep up to thatgpoint, a con-
slant supply of your waste kitchen
fats is needed. Glycerine is by.
product of soap-making. The War
Production Board salvage section
points out that home soap-making
is becoming a menace. 1t makes
inferior soap, and the gycerine
by-product is lost to the war eff.
fort.
ODDS AND ENDS
By October, 20,O0O,OO0 women
are expected to have taken the
Home Front Pledge to pay nc
more than ceiling prices, and buy
no more than needed. If you
haven't, don't be surprised to see
a volunteer fireman, minute
woman or a white narketeer'
at your door to get your sigma
ture There won't be more
baby pants and crib sheets of fab.
ric coated with vinyl resin, rub
Der substitute, for while. Vital
as these items are, the resin is
more important for strong water
bags to be dropped by airplane
to desert troops.
