Duff called at tention to the fact the waste paper drive does not end until Tuesday night and urged Med ford residents to contribute all waste paper possible to fill the second car. Paper which can yet be collected in the city, together with what collectors hope to get In rural areas, is hoped to be sufficient to fill the second car, Duff said. All city schools will receive waste paper from 8 a. m. to 5 p. m. and Roosevelt school will remain open in the evenings from 7 to 9 to accept collections. Duff said the salvage commit tee will be unable to accept paper after Tuesday because they have no place in which to store it. Those unable to get their paper in by Tuesday are asked to hold it for a future drive. Ashland is sending a separate car, it was stated.

I mean the rec ords that keep track of men and equipment Records are the only .way the big brain of the Army which ia the Genera Staff can ever remember where everything is and where it's go ing. There's an amazing lot of paperwork connected with every battle, every soldier, every shot fired. Even maps consume paper by the carload. It took 128,000,000 of them just for the invasion. Maps are often issued to non coms as well as officers. As an advance progresses such mas must be changed frequently. The picture of this war fa painted on paper and framed in paper, and the sooner we get all we need from the home front, the quicker they'll be able to add the last stroke and come on home.
