"Don‘t get mad if the junior conâ€" servation captains come to your door asking ‘for scrap oftener than you have it to give. The young people are only doing their duty:and many peoâ€" ple have a â€"good sized collection of scrap for them at least once a week. ‘The young conservation captains have been doing a fime job in collecting scrap materials and taking it to the station victory boxes ‘and they deâ€" serve the wholeâ€"hearted cooperation of all householders. Now that school has begun they may not be able to come as often as they did during the snmmer, but keep saving materials for them for they will be around later." Tin can collections in this area have been growing larger each week. To be acceptable as scrap they must be properly prep‘reddâ€"iuhod out, hbe‘ll: removed, top andâ€"bt removed, and the cans ihtz:r"l'here are many posters and exhibits in town which show the correct way to preâ€" pare tin cans. 4 â€"There are three official ways in which to dispose of the prepared tin cans : F & < 2.

Rubens, local conservation chairman. "You can‘t get a lot ‘of service because there are not so many people left to give it War industry and the battle fronts have claimied many workers.

At the reâ€" quest of the U.~S. Office of Defense ‘Transportation, an intensified "Share The Ride" campaign is being inaugâ€" urated in Highland Park this week. In cooperation with Philip Harringâ€" ton, administrator of the program for mdvflwuuuspt area, a local "Share Ride" comâ€" rection of Robert L. Leopold,. Memâ€" bers of the â€"committee are: Melvin O. Lokensgard, Edmund L. Andrews, E. A. Belmont, J. Sigurd Johnson ang Walter Gottschall The "Share The Rid¢" idea is not new to Highland Parkers. Immediateâ€" ly after Pearl Harbor, such a plan was instituted and has been functionâ€" ing ever since. The present camâ€" paign is an extension of this proâ€" gram to include, if possible, evety inâ€" dividual citizen. A survey of local transportation requirements is under way. A questionnaire form is being mailed to every home in the city. ‘This form covers commuters, those who drive to work and the house~ wives. Citizens are asked to fill out this questionnaire fully and promptly in order that a permanent record of driving habits may be available, as an aid in the formation of driving groups. Aircraft Firing to Create Danger Zone "Our job as ~civilians," says _Mr. Harrington, "is to conserve our presâ€" ent tires to the utmost, by curtailing individual car mileage through elimâ€" inating recreational and social drivâ€" ing, through using public transportaâ€" tion facilities more ofter and tnrough group driving." t In addition to joining driving groups it is hoped that the women of Highâ€" land Park will contribute to this efâ€" fort through shopping locally and through carefully planning such shopâ€" ping so as to eliminate all unnecesâ€" sary trips. This will not only save tires, but will alleviate the parking problem throughout the business disâ€" tricts, Mayor Frank J. Ronan plans to enâ€" list the aid of all school children in carrying the message into all homes. A ladies‘ committee consisting of a representative of each school district has been formed. The following are members of this committee: Mrs. J. M. Murphey, Ravinia; Mrs. W. H. Armstrong, Lincoin; Mrs. James Becker, Eim Place; Mrs. H. S. Ryan, Ridge; Mrs. F. P. Fochlinger, Green Bay, and Mrs. Mark Goldsmith, Braeâ€" ‘The importance of saving tires, acâ€" cording to Mr. Leopold, is best exâ€" plained by the fact that our governâ€" ment considers the tires on the cars of its 30,000,000 motorists as repreâ€" senting, in the final critical analysis, an important part of our national reâ€" sources in rubber. Mr. Leopold states, "If we waste our tires, we are depleting our emerâ€" gency reserve of scrap rubber which may be vitally needed in the war efâ€" fort. Certainly the tires now on our automobiles constitute the only rubâ€" ber supply in sight for civilian use. Thus, ‘sharing our cars and sparing our tires,‘ is not only our patriotic duty, but is a matter. of our personal comfort and convenience as well." Plans are being made for the orâ€" ganization of a radio code class by Ray Sneeden. Anyone interested in learning the International Morse code may contact Mr. Sneeden at H. P. 556 or H. P. 2430. If a sufficient amount of persons are interested in attending the class, it will be started in the near future. Sneeden To Conduct Radio Code Course Mr. Sneeden will again teach first aid this year at the central fire staâ€" tion. Those wishing to attend may call the Civilian Defense office. There will be morning, afterncon and eveâ€" ning classes in first aid. Antiâ€"aircraft firing daily during the months of Sept., Oct. and Nov. from 7 :30 a.m. to 5 pm. will create a danger zone vlfi'-»t!vdnmd Fort Sheridan, ‘on Lake Mi and up to«an altitude of cight miles over this area $ Ail ~shipping â€"and â€"all â€"aircraft â€" are warned to avoid the dariger zone.
