'Tho Ecllton Saga Approximately four tons of scrap metal have been brought to the high school during the first week of the Win- the-Scrap drive. That's four tons down and many more to go if we want to do our share in the war effort. How many of you, if asked, could have answered the question of the week? Don't depend on the other fellow to bring the scrap. Do it yourself! Leave the house-to-house canvassing to the grammar school students. Keep your eyes open for bigger weights and more vital metals. Here's a chance for each of us to help hasten victory. Let's show our school, our city, and Uncle Sam that we can- do our part-and more. .....,........... This weekis sale of War Savings Stamps almost doubled last week's record. This is good! But it can be even better. The 3524.30 worth of war stamps which was sold rep- resent only about one half of our Student Body. If each of us invest 10 cents in stamps this week, fjust one dimej we can make it a 3350.00 stamp day. Just a round piece of silver, you call me a dime, Pm spent almost every day, Butiif I could speak of my situation, -These are the things I would say. I hate to be slammed on the counter for ice cream, Or candy or gum to chew, When there are so many important things That I feel I. really should do. The candy and gum are so quickly forgotten, Theyire eaten, enjoyed, then goneg While if I were spent for a Savings, Stamp, My life would go on and on. Then I'd be a gun or a bolt in a tank, To help Uncle Sam win the warg After a while, l'd turn into a bond, ' And soon I'd be worth much more. So please, won't you spend me for Savings Stamps, To help Uncle Sam, and You? f I'm only a thin, little, silver dime, But think of the things I can do! 1 .Buy War Stamps Today - L L' L.,..,, Y HUMOR HAS IT That the song of the shower in the Gym is: Drizzle, drizzle, little shower, How I wish you had more pow- er, Hot and tired I wait for thee, Is water on priority?
