Summer Collections
Pledged by Hundreds
OF Papertroopers

Several hundred pledges by Pa
pertroopers that they will collect
wastepaper all summer were re-
ceived today as the brigade pre-
pared to answer the call of the War
Production Board to keep up the
drive until Japan is defeated.
The pledges came from Blow
Webb, Terrell Junior, Seaton and
Oyster Schools. The pledges are to
play an important part in the Pa
pertrooper day ceremonies at the
Washington Monument next Satur-
day and all schools are urged to send
the pledges in as soon as possible in
order that the details of their use
can be worked out.
From present indications at least
1000 children have qualified as
Supertroopers and will have a part
in the parade. Because of their
number, the parade will be divided
into three sections with the first
gathering on the north side of the
Mall between Sixth and Seventh
streets, the second between Sew
enth and Eighth streets and the
third between Eighth and Ninth
streets. The list for each location
will be announced later. Hugh
Smith, principal of Jefferson Junior
High School. will be marshal of the
first section. l.. S. Larry of Randall
Junior High School Safety Club, OF
the second, and L. r. Steely. head of
the salvage program at Macfarland
Junior High School. the third sec
ton. The schools will march alpha
betically.
The Navy Band under leadership
of 1t. Bentner will give a program
at the Sylvan Theater while the
parade is forming and marching to
the monument.
Yesterday schools in the first dis
trict turned in 81 ,O8O pounds, one of
the best Monday collections of the
year. Among those of half a ton
or more were Randall Junior, 1903

Few Nips Get Through.
|, Only 10 per cent of the japanese
suicide planes ever get through our
outer air defense ring, the admiral
said. Of these, 80 per cent are shot
down before they reach the core
of the fleet. The remaining get hits,
he explained, and of these, only a
small number result in sinkings.
Nothing larger than destroyer
has been sunk among our COM
batant ships.
He said the 10 per cent that get
through can be reduced further and
can practically be eliminated by
some redesigning of equipment
aboard ships.

ute to the Marine and Army men

naval forces off that island. In the
letter he said:

here at Okinawa,. no matter how
slowly it seems. 8 Nevertheless
disposing of Japan will not be an
easy task. I should like to believe
that there is in the japanese people

Brazil and the Vote
President Getulio Vargas, who

President Getulio Vargas, who has
exercised the powers of dictator
since 1880, has taken welcome step
in announcing plans for the resto-
ration of democratic processes in
Brazil. Sometime between now and
June he will establish date for
general election in which the people
of the republic-for the first time in
Is years-will be able to vote freely
for their chief executive, for the
governors of the states and for legis-
lative representation.
Mr.. Vargas statement that he will
not be candidate to succeed him
self does not rule out the possibility
that he will be drafted, but whether
he is or not. his decision to turn back
the government to the people is
wholesome one. For his years of
dictatorial control, no matter how
benevolent. have been at variance
with the democratic ideal. and in
moving to end them he is not only
giving fitting support to that ideal at
a time when the United Nations are
hammering down the Axis tyranny
but is also setting an example well
worth the attention of other Ameri-
can republics where the popular will
lacks genuinely free expression.
It may be some months before the
Brazilian election actually takes
place, although there should be little
or no difficulty in preparing the
public for it. The people of Brazil
are well acquainted with the demo-
cratic process. having adopted in
1891 a constitution very similar to
ours and having elected several
Presidents under it. This constitu-

ernment, but return of the free elec-

Box Supper

There are a number Of things
this country needs. some of them
imperatively. In the latter category
we place the need for a revival of
box suppers. A generation ago these
affairs were high lights of the So
cial season. Box suppers have not
gone over the hill to join bustles
and boards as outmoded institu-
tionS, but these old-fashioned, jolly
get-togethers are now infrequent
and puny in their influence.
Time was when box supper was
a brobdingnagian affair. On the
surface, of course, everything was
kept to the routine pattern. Some
worthy organization like the Grange,
ladies' aid society or the village
athletic association needed a lift in
its finances. Even Barnum could
not improve on the rural scheme of
getting something for nothing and
selling it at good price. That is
the skeleton of box supper. All
the girls and ladies bring boxes of
food. The town auctioneer, quick
of wit and glib of tongue, gives his
services. High bidder gets the box
and the lady who prepared it as his
supper partner.
Now there are areas of common
sense. The married folks who have
known each other for years and
have responsibilities acknowledge
an unwritten agreement that dol
lar is about enough for box. That
helps the cause along and does not
hurt the pocketbook. Then there is
the teen-age fry who want certain
boxes. They can go to two or three
dollars-and do, with lots of shout
ing. and egging on by the auction
eer, who knows the reason why GER
tain boxes are well up the scale.
The high light is when two young
bachelors are after the new school
teachers offering. The whole town
knows Miss Beulah can have her
pick between them. Maybe tonight
will show which way the wind is
blowing. That is part of the fun of
box supper. The other is the good
neighborliness and fellowship that
comes when people take time OF
from the chores of daily living to
get together and break bread.
