SAVE YOUR OLD PAPERS
TO HELP THE RED CROSS
“Save your waste and help win the
war” is the new slogan in the Port
land Chapter of the American Red
Cross. A salvage bureau has been or
ganized with headquarters at 80-82
Third street, corner of Oak, and dis
trict receiving stations throughout
the city. If every individual will do
his part, this new activity will be able
to finance largely the Red Cross work
of succor and relief for our boys
“over there.” A few newspapers in
one home are valueless, but collected
from all the homes in the city and
sold by the ton. they bring good re
turns. On this one item, the salvage
bureau cleared, in one week. $114.
Practically all household waste mate
rials can be marketed by the Bureau.
Mrs. Myrtle Sager is Divisional
Chief for the Lents district, and the
fire engine house is named as a re
ceiving station. If possible, take your
salvage material there, or, if you have
an automobile, take it directly to the
main station.
