I was fortunate to secure the orphan age truck to salvage paper on my end of town.. Centennial street* was the dividing line and I took all terri tory ..south including College View and the orphanage. Our boy scouts worked willingly. We at once realized that most of the residents had completely forgot ten the waste paper drive. Many had their paper stacked on the curb and nicely tied. Others had it in their garages, the only,. fault—bgiftg that we might .have missed it had We not seen someone nearby. We could' not afford to ring the doorbells as this would ( have taken much valuable time. I do not know the tonnage of Mr. Thomas' troop, nor that of Mr. Ear- gle.

Clinton, S. C. Washington, Aug a 21. — American, Britain and Russian delegate? sat down Monday to build the interna tional machinery for a peaceful world after a victory one said \V|S “not far off.” > Secretary of State Hull opened the first meeting of the conference at luxurious Dunbarton Oaks in GeoYge- town. and both Sir Alexander Cado- gan. head of the British group, and Ambassador Andrei Gromyko, lead ing the Russian delegation, joined in his optimistic prediction of agree- ment on the* outline of a world se- eu r11y orga n ization. Gromyko, declaring that t]ie time “is not far off when the freedom- loving nations, 'and first of all our nations, will bring complete victory,” said that the unity of the Allies is a guarantee that the Dunbarton Oaks talks will reach “positive results." Urging speed, Cadogan said “Peace may come sooner than some expect." Hull, in his welcoming speech and Cadogan and Gromyko in their re sponses, stressed the need for main taining the fighting strength of the Allies, ready for quick use if aggres sion threatens after the war. •The three spoke informally, seated at the long U-shaped table around which were gathered their diplomatic and military advisers. Each speaker sought to reassure the smaller nations that they will have an adequate role in the future organization, emphasized the impor- i tance of ready might for security, ' and underlined the special responsi bility of the strong . nations to lead in enforcing peace. There was some difference in em phasis in the American. British and Russian talks, reflecting varying ap proaches to the problem of prevent ing wars, but the speeches indicated, as .Cadogan said, that "there is" al ready much common ground." Secretary Hull said "It cannot be emphasized too often that the prin ciple of sovereign equality of all peace-loving states, irrespective of size and strength; as partners, in a system of order under law, must con stitute the foundation of any future international organization for . ..the maintenance of peace-and feecurity." Reasserting Hull's statement, Ca dogan said that “even Hitler has surely learnt by now, what we hayb . ourselves long known, that it is/not by riding roughshod over the smaller powers that the vital intemrfs of the 1 larger can in the long jhm best be protected." Gromyko gave greater stress to the necessity for/fesources to check aggression, amUdhus to the primary burden on t&e large powers, but he said that—au big and small freeciom- loving nations can tage part in the peacpcigency. .s for the determination to co operate, he said people “have shed too much blood to be indifferent to their future."
