Boy Scout Paper Drive Urged To Aid War Effort
In a nationwide call the Boy Scouts of America are asked to collect old newspapers and magazines to ease paper shortages. Troops divide territories, encourage housewives to gather material monthly, and bundle by type with troop numbers for credits. Payments per 100 pounds vary by material, truck pickups occur at 3 000 to 4 000 pounds, and records are kept by the Thrift Committee. Local notices mention Mrs. Carl Durst of Doss visiting her parents and Mr. and Mrs. Adrian Reiger shopping in Harper.
