 We hope 1t wouldn't be out of or der to mention here, that the col- lection of tin cans no doubt was dispensed with Saturday owing to the streets being impossible with the heavy snow, but most of the housewives who have been trying to take care of the old tin cans. will certainly be glad to have something done about picking them up. What with the mental worrying of figur- ing how to get food to keep the ta- ble filled up at mealtimes, the tin can collection is certainly some thing for the books. A number of women who have tried to keep them in boxes in their cellars or wherever they found space have lost faith, as 1t were, and finally threw them in the dump. And their concensus of opinion if the tins were so valuable to the war effort, why haven't those in charge made some arrangements to get them picked up regularly.

HONOLULU, Dec. 4. - Orders
transferring Seaman &c Paul T..
Stewart, son of Senator Stewart,
Democrat, of Tennessee, from the
Hawaiian Islands to Norfolk, Va,
have been Cancelled at young Stew
arts request.
Capt. H. w. Turney, chief of the
Amphibious Command, administra-
tive section, yesterday said Stewart,
18, was to be sent from the Waipio
base to Norfolk, but that he had only
18 discharge points, and that 80
points were required at present for
reassignment to the mainland.
Subsequently, Navy sources in
Washington said Stewards name had
been included inadvertently" in
list of men ordered to Norfolk.
In a letter to his commanding Of
ficer, asking that he be allowed to
remain, young Stewart said: Il feel
that my continued presence overseas
is desirable SO that it will be evident
that my status in the Navy can in
no way be attributed to any possible
political influence"
Capt. Turney said young Stewart
would remain here.
Meanwhile, Stars and Stripes de-
clared that some one had made a
specific request for Stewards trans
fer to the mainland, and that an ap-
pended paragraph to the transfer
list received at Waipio read, 1T is
recommended that Stewart be as
signed to amphibious training ac-
