Tickets may be ob- tained from any of the Boy Scout Troop Committee or at the box off, flee. Let's see you there, folks!
 As has been announced in the newspapers, a group of men who have taken part in the wartime scrap paper drives, have, formed committee to collect paper in city wide drive on Sunday, Dec. 9. AS usual, Edward Herbert, chairman of the Troop Committee for Troop 9, Washington Park group, will have all his boys and members of his committee working on that day. This time the collections will be taken from Liberty street, down Baldwin street to the Pearl Lake road; South Main street, all the way to City Corners, and Hamilton avenue, from Bridge street, to the end of the avenue.
 MT. Herbert hopes all the people living in his district will save all the paper they possibly can now, so his committee will have nice tonnage to show for their days work on Sunday, Dec. g. In the meantime, if anyone will contact him at his home on Rye street, he will see that the paper is picked up, if they wish to have it taken off their hands.
 Regular business meeting of the Washington Park Community Club will be held this evening at 8:15 in the Community house, with Pres. George Lynch presiding.
 There should be quite a little business transacted this evening, owing to the wartime emergency being of the past. The Community Club has been in existence for nearly 20 years, and was formed to promote community spirit, to sponsor civic improvements, and &C., tivities, and in general, to promote anything that would be help and benefit to people living in this sec ton of the city. It would seem that if the residents of The Hill were encouraged to do so, they would take more personal interest in the workings of the club, beyond that honor of having their names appear on the membership books.
 Washington Hill is, and always has been, outstanding in everything pertaining to our fair city. It has contributed men and women in all walks of life, of whom we can be justly proud, and if the spirit is still kept alive and unity of pur- pose kept foremost in our minds and hearts, the Hill will still be in first place.
 Sylvan avenue is one of the old est streets in our city, but there are still quite few improvements that we cannot boast of. We will be starting on new year, 1946, and we should be alive to the fact, that now is the time to get ready for 1t.
 The Teenagers Dancing class will also be on hand for their lessons at T o'clock tonight, one hour of les son, from ' to 8 o'clock. We hope all the boys and girls will be on hand, and bring friend or two.
