The Editor
Wants To Know
What has become Of the Washing.

What has become of the Washing
ton County Salvage Committee?
Right now there is desperate
need of waste paper. Individual
organizations, such as the Boy
Scouts and the Salvation Army, are
putting on collection drives, but
there is no coordinated effort.
In Baltimore, the Salvage divis-
ion of the War Production Board
has divided the city into sections and
systematic collections of waste pa
per are being made every week.
Tin is another vital war commod-
ity, but we don't hear or read any
thing about arrangements being
made for the collection of the thou
sands of prepared empty cans that
must be in the homes here and
throughout the county.
When something is going to be
done to put stop to the epidemic
of reckless driving, particularly on
West Franklin street, between North
Potomac and Jonathan streets. In
this short block is the post Office,
with pedestrians entering and leav-
ing in a never-ending stream; the
pedestrian crossing for the Market;
a parking lot and a defense plant;
to say nothing of several stores us
ing delivery trucks and CONSTANT
stream of cars leaving or pulling up
at the parking meters.
In spite of this congetion, cars,
trucks and buses tear through this
short block as if it was a speedway.
Don't let us wait till someone is
killed or seriously injured before
doing something to remedy the sit
uation. Maybe the solution is to
have the police department post a
20-mile speed limit AND THEN EN-
FORCE TT.

MIGLIO TO START
The Shamrocks are relying on
the return to the starting lineup of
its fleetfooted and powerful left
halfback, Joe Miglio. Miglio has
