Headquarters
’The best laid plans may go astray
but the result will still exceed those
accomplished wlthont planaing.
The official opening ot the Boy
Scouts Salvage headquarters on D^
Kalb and Lyttleton streets was on
Monday, May 16. ’The inauguration
nf-.thls project 4s proving a tremend-1
ous success, as many people are leav-l
ihg bundles of paper and tin cans at
the headquarters. It is to be noticed
that the Boy Scouts do not collect any
salvage in the residential section, but
only work the business district of
town.
We hope that everybody will co
operate In this worthy effort, (hereby
farthering the war effort. Collections
will still be made from time to time
by the city trucks through the resi
dential area of town for both paper
and tin cans. *
The Boy Scouts have planted a
variety of vegetables in the demon-
•hpatlon Victory Garden on DeKatb
street Tbe Boy Scouts are to be
commended for their .efforts In this
worthwhile project.
