This, in dollars and cents, came to $89.21 which was turned over to ciâ€" vilian defense. After the housewives got into the "swing" of.tin can salvage, the outâ€" look was most promising for one carâ€" load to be shipped every four weeks. Three cars were shipped on this schedâ€" ule. Now, however, the city‘s going on a slowedâ€"up schedule of one car every six weeks. ‘The next shipment will be loaded Thursday and Friday, Feb, 18 and 19. ‘The thought has been expressed that perhaps there are not fewer cans being prepared, but that the continued snow has prevented the cans being placed out for collection. Cans must be given the garbage colâ€" lectors not later than Feb. 15. Now that the new 1943 license plates are being attached to Highland Park‘s automobiles, the school chilâ€" dren have been asked to collect the old 1942 plates. Mrs. Waiter Rubens, chairman of the conservation committee, has writâ€" ten to the principals of the public schools in Highland Park, asking their cooperation in attaining the goal set for this salvage effort. "Last year there were approximately 4,250 1iâ€" censes issued in Highland Park and we have set that number as our goal," Mrs. Rubens stated in the announceâ€" ment of her plan. "It has been estiâ€" mated by the Illincis saivage director that there is enough highâ€"grade steel scrap now in the form of 1942â€"license plates to produce 40,000 fifty caliber machine guns. Naturally, we in Highâ€" land Park are anxious to turn in our share of this steel for those guns," she concluded. a the WPB conservation division: issued a statement in which he declares, in part, "The conservation division exâ€" presses deep appreciation to every salvage worker in America for the splendid accomplishments made . by you this past year in getting in the scrap. Without your untiring efforts, our program would not have made uch splendid progress toward achieveâ€" ment of its goal. I wish to remind mhfiemunau.uy:fl{ day out, as long as the war lant &nd urge a redoubling of our efforts during 1943."
