Scrap Paper Drive
Hits Snag; One of
Many in War Effort
Tons of waste paper, vital to the
war effort, arc going to the dump
grounds because there has been no
systematic or interested response to
the appeal of the government.
For a long time no building was
available to house waste paper. Now
that M. G. Cox has given the use
of a building there appears to be lit-
tle or no concerted effort to preserve
paper thrown into the trash con-
tainers of business houses.
Most any morning city trash trucks
can be seen loaded full of cartons
and waste paper, all going to the
dump grounds. The City Council
might well serve the war effort by
controlling disposition of this waste
paper. It began to appeur the gov-
ernment may have given no thought
to the matter, or if it has, may have
failed to obtain co-operation from
employes or from committees named.
Whatever the cause for this leak in
the waste paper campaign, it should
be remedied at once.
Here comes a suggestion from the
Salvage Chairman, S. E. Brogdon,
that business men who have then-
waste paper and trash hauled by the
city are asked to seperate the pap-r
from the trash and deposit in sep-
erate containers, so that the paper
may be salvaged.
This suggestion is good only to a
limited extent. The paper will con-
tinue to be dumped and destroyed if
no provision is made to have it haul-
ed to storage. If the city council
will not pay for needed public im-
provements out of taxes collected, it
should divert funds to sanitation and
clean up or reduce the tax rate. It
is shameful to neglect the important
duty of salvaging waste paper.
Mrs. Syd Stidham and daughter,
Mrs. Jack Walters and two children,
Charles Stanley and daughter Jackie
Walters of Houston, visited their
grand mother, Mrs. India Stidham
this week and left Thursday for Tem-
ple where they will visit relatives
for a few days, and Mrs. Walters and
children will go to Graden City,
Kansas, where her husband is an Air
Trainer and expects to make her
home while Sgt. Walters is there.
The Red army in new offensives
along the Dneiper river have pocketed
two German armies estimated at 200
thousand men and Monday were re-
ported to have thrown a tihrd offen-
sive at the Germans along the fast
crumbling eastern front.
At the same lime the Germans
were being defeated the Russians
launched a heavy air attack on Hel-
sinki, the capital of Finland. It was
believed the Reds are certain they
can win now against Germany with-
out American or British help.
The second front was still a mys-
tery.
Bulgaria has been warned bluntly
by the Russians that she must take
the consequences for collaboration
with Germany while maintaining
diplomatic relations with Russia.
The Germans were throwing power-
ful units against the Allies on the
beachhead south of Rome. So far the
Allies have been able to throw the
Grmans back.
The success of attacks on the Mar-
shall islands brought a question
whether Japan was making any
serious attempt to defend these
fringes of her Pacific empire.
Little or no resistance has been
encountered thus far in the Marshall
islands.
Capt. Chas. Beacham
Writes He is Getting
On Well In Italy
Here is an extract from a letter
from Capt. Charles Beacham who was
recently wounded in the fighting in
Italy. This letter, written to his
parents here tells of the good treat-
ment the medical corps of the army
is giving the wounded men:
“As I've told you recently, I’m get-
ting along splendidly. Due to mira-
cles of modern surgery, you will have
to examine my face very closely when
you see me before you can see any
evidence'at ail of injur-'. rv: •••■.Iking
