Over II Tons Paper
Saturdays Haul Is Second
Largest Since Scouts Took
Over Collection.

Favored by ideal weather, excel
lent publicity by press and radio, and
a growing realization on the part of
the public of the urgent need of
waste paper, the April Boy Scout

trucks and drivers being furnished
by number of philosophical firms
and organizations The city was di-
vided into sections, with groups of
Scouts in charge of each section. The
collection got under way at eight
O'Clock in the morning and SO well
was it organized that the huge haul
was all in before two o'clock in the
afternoon.
Local Troops collected little over
% tons, and nearby county Troops
accounted for another five tons
The May Drive will take place on
Saturday, May 5th. Start saving
your waste paper for it now. Don't
burn or throw away any paper or
cardboard, no matter how small.
Tie it in bundles as you save it, and
store it in the basement until Satur-
day, May 5th, when the Scouts will
be round again to collect it. If,
however, you have more than yol.
can save until the next drive. YOU
can call the Scout of1ce-the number
is 3730-and arrangements will be
made to pick it up right away.
