of the officers of the club will go to
Wooster to purchase the trees. The

be possibly less than 80 cents per
tree. At least so good sized trees
will be brought home by the COM
mittee.

Paper Conservation
Drive Begun in Homes
And Business Places

Coupled with the current waste
paper salvage program, paper con-
servation drive in homes and busi-
ness places was under way today
following meeting of business
groups, salvage officials and news
paper and radio representatives
yesterday.
A warning that success of the new
drive is matter of self-preserva-
ton for merchants and their en-
ployes and less inconvenience for
the consuming public was sounded
by Horace Walker, executive secre-
tary of the District Salvage Com
mittee.
Failure of the combined drives, he
stressed, could cripple the war
effort.
Herbert M. Faust, director of War
Production Boards salvage division
estimated that 667 900 tons of paper
must be salvaged monthly to reach
the national goal of 100000 tons
in 1914.
Because February and March COL
lections of paper were about 1875, ,00O
and 125,000 tons, respectively, short
of monthly quotas, conservation and
salvage must be stepped up, Mr.
Faust said.

regular weekly visits to all schools
in the Montgomery and Prince
Georges County suburban area
More remote schools will be visited
on request when a full truck load il
accumulated. The Maryland schools
will receive the same payment a!
those in the District.
