Rules For 1914
Auto Tags Given

The distribution of 1914 Automo-
bile License Tags in the envelopes
printed for the 1912 tags, has caused
some confusion among motorists
who have already received their
1914 tag.
The old envelopes (since new tags
were not issued in 1942) are being
used now to conserve paper, but
motorists. should ignore the instruc-
ton printed on the face of them.
Here are the rules for use of the
1914 tags:
1, Only one plate will be issued
for 1914, so as to conserve metal.
2. Any time after March IS (but
not before) remove both front and
rear old plates and the small corner
plate.
3. Place the new 1914 plate on
the rear bracket (there will be no
plate on the front bracket).
4. The 1914 plate must be on your
car by April l, 1914.
5. If you have already put your
1914 tag on the car, take it off and
put the old ones back on until
March Is, as it is violation of the
motor vehicle law to use the 1914
tag before March Is.

Scouts Get "a Tons of Paper Despite Rain,
Snow; Fine Cooperation Puts Drive Over
More Then 200 Scouts With Their Leaders Were On the Jobs
Second Drive To Be Put On Saturday. April /.

Last Saturdays Scrap Paper
Drive, sponsored by the Washing
ton County District of the Boy
Scouts of America, and directed by
Myril S. Hall, Scout Executive, and
Robert Shircliff, District Commits
sioner, which resulted in the collec-
ton of "a tons, or $4,000 pounds, of
paper, despite day of heavy rain
followed by snow, proved, not only
that Boy Scouts can be counted on
to do a job and do it well, but also
that team work and cooperation are
two vital cogs in any successful I'M
dertaking.
From the day it was decided to
put on the drive until it actually
took place-just 10 days-there was
team work and cooperation all the
way. The press and radio did a
swell job of publicity; the Scout
leaders talked it up at their Scout
meetings; the Scouts talked it up at
Patrol meetings and at home, and
the public caught the spirit of it and
started saving their paper.
When Saturday finally rolled
around, everyone was ready. Trucks,
provided by the City of Hagerstown,
the Potomac Edison Company, the
Superior Dairy, the Maryland Pipe
and Metals Company, and some OF
the Scout leaders themselves, were
lined up ready to go. Some 200
Scouts, with their Scoutmasters,
were down at the Square waiting
for the starting whistle, and it
looked like the start of beautiful
day. But old Jupiter Pluvius Cor

Scouts really were made of, for he
let loose a cloudful of rain and fol-
lowed it up with a blanket of wet
snow, and he kept it coming down
all day.

ter, the public as welD lived up to
the Scout motto, BE Prepared"
For the Scouts got coats and slickers
and stayed on the job, and the pub
lie pulled the paper back onto their
porches until they saw the boys
coming along.
Too much cannot be said about
the way the public cooperated.
Many of them even called the Scout
office, told them they had paper that
had been missed, asked where to
take it to, and then got out in the
snow and delivered it themselves.
There isn't any question that but
for the bad break in the weather,
the boys would have collected so or
so tons, and for that reason the
Scout office has decided to put on
another drive on Saturday, April 1.
Mr.. Hall and Mr. Shircliff, in ex-
pressing their appreciation Of the
tremendous vote of confidence in
Scouts and Scouting, as evidenced
by the success of Saturdays drive,
have asked The Globe-Independent
to state that anyone having paper,
missed in the drive, which they can
not hold until the next collection,
Saturday, April l, if they will just
call the Scout office-the number is

HIT BY U. S. SUBS

WASHINGTON. Oct. 81 Up =
New heavy blows by American
submarines which struck 10 YES

rapidly shrinking japanese fleet

ing to- re-group remnants of its
battle fleet after last weeks dis
astrous defeat in the Philippines
area. - >.
Less spectacular than the sink
ing or damaging of So Warshlps
in the big battle OF the Philippines,
the submarine s:inkings neverthe-
LESS are of material Importance IN
the ultimate result of the Pacific
war, for they reduce enemy ablll-
ty to maintain island bases ana
supply the home front.
The new submarine toll raises
to 978 the number of Nipponese
ships of all types sunk or dam
aged by submarines patroling reg
ularly along the Japanese shipping
lanes.
The Navy, pursuant to custom,
in announcing the new submarine
figures, gave no indication OF
where they operated on their lat
est patrols. However, they have
been in action along the enemy
coast line and it is reasonable to
assume they were close to strong
enemy positions while destroying
the latest reported group of cargo
and transport craft.
In addition to the destroyer sunk
by American torpedoes, probably
while endeavoring to protect con-
voys, the japanese craft sunk were
three medium cargo transports,
two small cargo transports, five
medium cargo vessels, four small
cargo vessels, large transport,
which may have carried troops,

British Premier's Forecast
Linked With New
Parliament

LONDON, Oct. 31.-P)-
Prime Minister Wins t o n
Churchill, seeking to prolong
the tenure Of the present par
Lament and his coalition gov
eminent, told the House of
Commons today ''it seems
difficult to believe" the war
against Germany "can be
ended before Christmas or
even Easter" and that he
could not predict the end be-
fore early summer.
''It would not be prudent" to as
sumo that it will take less than
10 months after Hitler's downfall
to defeat Japan, he warned, but
conceded that an election must be
held after Germany is disposed OF,
without waiting for Japan's down.
fall.
There was no reference in
Churchills address to the presi-
dental election campaign in the
United States.
Churchill frankly admitted that
many high military authorities
with every means to judge were
more hopeful than he on the end
of the war with Germany; as for
Japan, he said his forecast must
be revised every few months by
the combined chiefs Of staffs.''
His picture-in contrast with his
declaration only four days ago that
1--WE are in the last lap'-came
as background for his demand for
another u months reprieve for
Parliament, already nine years old,
and retention of the coalition cabi-
net until after Germany's defeat.
The House of Commons gave
their leader amid cheers every in
dication that his wish would be
granted, moving without dissent his
bill to prolong Parliament on
step nearer passage. Leaders of op-
position groups chimed agreement
that the time for a general election
had not arrived.
Churchill conceded that "politi-
cal CONFUSION in Germany may
bring it (the war; to a speedy end
at any time" but added that
against that must be set the iron
control Of German life in all its
forms, which he said exceeds

men,"
