Scrap Drives
Aid Production
Systematic Piekups
TO Be Carried Out

Organized and systematic pa
per and scrap collections will be
inaugurated in Mount Clemens
this week, following urgent ap-
peals from the War Production
Board for public aid in keeping
war industry producing.
The first effort will be a pa
per drive, TO be held Saturday
in Precinct 1.-The area bounded
by CasS, South Broadway and
South avenue.
One precinct will be handled
each Saturday, and citizens are
asked to collect their % paper,
(2) tin cans, and CD iron and
steel, and hold them until noti-
fled of each successive drive.
Residents of Precinct /, only,
are asked to place waste paper
at the curb Saturday, tying the
waste in bundles or placing in
boxes in three specific groups:
Cd Magazines and heavy
printed matter.
ca Cardboard, cartons and
flattened boxes.
CD Newspapers and miscel-
laneous paper.
City Chairman Charles V. I'll
tus will direct Boy Scouts of
Troop 70, and city street depart
ment employees, in picking up
the paper supplies. Residents
are urged to sort their papers in
separate bundles because paper
mills pay S22 ton for the first
(magazine) stock, SIS for card
board, and STA for newspapers.
Funds derived from the sale
will be equally divided between
the Boy Scout troops participant
ing, and the Office Of Civilian
Defense. Members of Troop 73
have been asked to contact
Scoutmaster George Collins.
Persons who live in other
city precincts (Which will no,
be collected this Saturday
should sort and store their pa
per until a Saturday collection
day is announced for their pre-
cinct. Similarly, collection dates
for tin and iron will be announc-
ed shortly.
The City Commission, which
conferred with Salvage Chair
man Titus last night, urged full
cooperation in the systematic
salvage drives now being inaug-
urated.
Boy Scouts cannot go from
door to door, due to the large
territory to be covered. How
ever, where no paper stock is al
the curb, they will ring the
| doorbeil and ask il any waste
paper is available. This is
service designed principally fol
infirm or aged persons unable
to carry heavy loads of paper tc
the curb. AS a general rule il
is expected that paper will be
at the curb by 10 a. m. Saturday
in Precinct /. No collection will
be made this Saturday in other
precincts, it is emphasized.

MIAMI, Fla, Jan, 2O-(Pl-
After an eight-year eStrange-
ment, John l.. Lewis and AL
President William Green have
met secretly on the question OF
readmitting Lewis United Mine
Workers to the AFL, it can be
revealed today.
Green and Lewis parted COM
pany when Lewis founded the
CLIO in 1888. The break was
confirmed a year or so later
when Lewis and Green expelled
from the Miners Union. After
that, their speaking terms were
epithets at long range.
The ultimate results, and the
details, of their meeting remain
to be disclosed. 1t can not be
called "a reconciliation, at least
not yet. Green refuses to discuss
it. This much is known: The
meeting was held in Washington
recently, strictly on an off-the-
record basis. The conference
was not sought by Green. II
was proposed either by Lewis or
by an ALL intermediary who
was interested in expediting the
return of Lewis to the Fedora
ton. 1t is but one evidence OF
great pressure being brought to
bear in Lewis favor, not only
by his friends on the AFL exec
utive Council, but by leaders OF
AFL unions who are pressuring
the council.

WARREN SALES GOOD
j. S. Stanley, of Center Line,
leader of that community's eff
fort which is typical of other
Warren Township centers, re-
ported that every man and wo-
man on bond drive teams is
working diligently. Sales have
been good, he said, but many
workers are holding up prelim-
mary reports until they can
amass an attractive total for the
first report.
ST. CLAIR SHORES
Emerson Bellmore, of St.
Clair Shores, who early built
up a strong force Of canvassers,
reported that the fourth war
loan is winning generous pub
lie reception. Many workers
have already made substantial
sales, and a large part of the
quota will soon be subscribed,
he said.

Paralysis Fund
Expenses Low
II Coses Now
Get Treatment

Since the Macomb County
Chapter, National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis, was es-
tabliShed Sept. II, 1910, the to-
tai disbursements for any pur-
pose - other than hospitaliza-
ton, surgery and medical sup
plies - amount to 1888.
This amount was spent for sta
tionery, Treasurer George Dank-
erS points out - and there are
still few sheets and envelopes
left.
This financial report cpl
tomizes the spirit of the Ma
comb County Chapter, now con-
Quoting a countrywide drive for
much-needed funds. No Birth
day Ball is being held in Mount
Clemens this year, and no dis
bursements are being made for
fancy money-raiSlng projects.
Every dime and dollar will work
/ for sufferers from infantile pa
ralysis.
SI,286.IO Discussed
Treasurer bankers, who with
I Secretary Hugh II. Neale and
Chapter Chairman A. A. Wag-
ner, has administered the chap
ter's affairs since 1910, reports
that the total receipts since es-
tabliShment of the chapter have
amounted to S4,605,45, and dis
bursements to date have been
Sl,286.10. leaving an existing
balance of S3,320.35. Twenty
cases have been aided since
1910, and IL of these are still
on the books.
The favorable cash balance
will not last much longer,
bankers explains, due to an
abrupt change in disqualification
arrangements.
Up to a few months ago, st.
Joseph Hospital cared for many
hospital cases at a very moder-
ate cost, but because of the hos
pitfalls crowded conditions and
lack of a contagious ward, no
more cases Of this nature can be
accented
Consequently, the chapter has
been obliged to send its recent
cases to the Herman Keifer Hos
pital, the Oakland County Con-
tagious Hospital, and Sigma
Gamma, the latter operated by
the Detroit Orthopaedic Clinic.
The Sigma Gamma costs, in
Guiding full care and treatment,
and education for juvenile, are
$50 per month which is the
lowest available charge.
COMPARATIVE RATES
The Oakland county and De-
troit hospital charges are higher
One Herman Keifer bill recently
paid amounted to S295. An Oak
land County bill was S209, and
a special case recently cost the
local chapter SIT for one month
and 10 days of treatment.
Previously (Which accounts
for the present $500 balance)
the hospital charges averaged
$50 to SIS per case. One local

Lady Maket's flute was taken to
