BUNKER HILL TEST
 VOTED SUCCESSFUL
Future Collection of Waste Paper to Be Along Sinli-

House-to-hou collection of sal- vaged newspapers will be undertaken throughout the entire city as re- suit of the success of Saturdays test collection held in the Bunker Hill section of the city when five and a quarter tons of old papers and mag azines were gathered there.
 The test had been sponsored by the Civilian War Service board with the cooperation of the Womens so- ciety of the Bunker Hill Congrega- tional church. Boy Scouts were most active in the one-day campaign ef- fort.
 Residents of the section had been previously warned concerning the planned drive and had their papers stacked on the sidewalks in front of their homes. One truck staffed by five volunteers canvassed the fol- lowing streets; 1rvington avenue; Newton Terrace; Ccniston avenue; Winston street; and Bunker Hill avenue.
 David F. Babson, executive scout leader who is chairman of the local paper salvage campaign stated that the success of Saturdays test seemed ample proof that similar campaign conducted in all parts of the city would be as equally as successful. If undertaken dates for the collec- tion will be announced later.

A Trade Mark Is a Guarantee

Americans like trade marks. They form a large part of the American way of life. It makes buying simple, saves money. Trade marks guaran- tee that manufacturers will contin- ue to try to make better things than their competitors, to the consumers s profit. Americans have faith in such trade marks as Ford, SQuibb, Pullman, Coca Cola, Pillsbury. They know the sure-fire way to get the thing they want when they want 1t, Is to ask for 1t by its trade mark name. And therein lies all the law and the prophets with regard to our modern use of tralAe marks.
 Write Your Congressman
 Warning! If the reader has de- termined he wants to stick to the trade mark method he Is used to, and which serves him well and vote against the grade labeiag idea, let him make sure of recognizing anti trade mark legislation when he sees 1t. Many congressional bills are wolves ill sheeps' clothing. Whey creep up on us unawares. They are like those Nazi organizations that sprung up in our midst with beau tiful patriotic American names to win our confidence.
 A good way is to write your con- gressman and tell him that if any bills come up with a hidden joker clause that would eliminate trade marks, you don't want any part of it
