waste paper pickup in Glasgow. it
was announced today by DR.. K. r.

scoutmasters of local Boy Scout
troops who. with other volunteers,

because of labor shortages unless it
is securely tied or boxed. Coopera-

properly will be needed"

Europe and elsewhere, the demand
for paper for the armed forces is
even heavier and the shortage is
acute.

campaigns will be used, with pick
ups made during the afternoon from
curbs. Farmers may leave paper at
any business place preceding the
drive. All businesses were also urged
to make special efforts to salvage
