•ATO’s Scrap Victors
Pick-ups proved successful in the University’s first sal
vage collection of fats and greases last Friday, November 27,
when living organizations, led by Alpha Tau Omega, with 27
pounds, turned in a total of 202 pounds, according to Marge
Curtis and Bill Lilly, co-chairmen of salvage on the student
defense council.
Waste was sold to the Eugene
Chemical Works for four cents
per pound. All money will go in
to the service scholarship fund
in the form of defense bonds,
which will be turned in when the
war is over for scholarships for
returning service men.
» High Hopes
‘ “We hope that every house on
the campus will be able to con
tribute to the next pick-up and
that it wil lbe as successful as
this last one,” said Miss Curtis
and Lilly.
The co-chairmen stated that
tin cans will be the next item to
be emphasized in the salvage
drive. Houses are encouraged to
start collecting the cans now in
preparation for the next pick-up.
The pick-up will be either next
week or the first of winter term
and will include such articles' as
tin cans, scrap metal, fats,
greases, or any other material
essential to the war effort, ac
cording to the co-chairmen.

"The Aircraft Warning System gives a single plane on gro«n<l
alert the equivalent striking power of 16 planes on air patrol.”
This startling statement comes from England.
Our country’s Aircraft Warning Service — quite similar to
England’s — keeps a constant check on the flight of all aircraft.
Should the need arise, it is prepared to send fighter planes aloft,
to mobilize and direct ground defense forces, to warn endangered
areas. Every step in its operation requires the fast, accurate
communication of the telephone.
This is just one of the many wartime jobs that are keeping
telephone lines busier than ever before. To help us keep lines
clear for vital military and industrial calls, please avoid using
Long Distance to war activity centers unless the call is urgent. And
please keep all your telephone calls as brief as you can. Thank you.
