One can is for paper and rags, another for hones, the third for metal and the fourth for garbage. Not much of the horror of war there, or the glamor of battle, if there is any glanu-- left m war. Its much more exciting to wave a ilag. irureh in a parade or sjiellbind the neighbors with a windy speech on what Wavell or MaeArthur or Nimitz should have done. But if every American home hda four such cans and filled them as American home' had four such cans and filled them as in that regard than Britain and here is what Britain showed : The salvage of waste pa;er alone saved 25,000 tons of shipping space which could be used for more vital materials. The London Passenger Transport Board reduced the thickness of tickets by only .001 of an inch, thereby saving 4 SO tons of paper annually, and that paper is needed for cartridge wads. Most important, enough scrap metal old skillets, sardine tins, razor blades, toothpaste tubes rolled from those cans, junk heaps and city dumps to build 10 destroyers, 10,000 tanks and 10,000 guns. anti-aircra- ft That is only part of the British salvage system, but obviously it is more than worth while. It could possibly spell the difference between defeat and victory, therefore it becomes a necessity. Americans must join the junk drive. All communities now should have organizations and resources to handle by this jcb.

Worlds Biggest Waterfront to get the inside However, story of what is going on, it is necessary to have the full picture. First, New York Harbor, including adjacent New Jersey and Long Island, has 994 piers, of which about 934 are now in use, scattered over a total of 771 they . miles. 1 his waterfront has been a ha py hunting ground for thugs and hoodlums; a sort of foreign legion" for anyone who was in trouble in another city. If he pay for it, lie can always get a union card and no questions asked. The Brooklyn side of the waterfront has been in the grip of an Italian gang, while the Manhattan front is ruled by the Irish. Never have Tom Devvev or other New York cleanup officer ever touched the waterfront. Furthermore, the U. S. Government, now almost the sole shipper, has no control over the men on the piers. They belong to the International Longshoreman's Association, and are hired not through "hiring halls as on the W est Coast, but through a "shape-usystem. By this the union boss picks the men he wants to wotk, usually hi3 old friends. There is little rotation of employment. There are also several stevedore contractors, of which perhaps the largesl is the Jarka Corporation, headed by Franz Jarka, born in Hungary, but a naturalized American. Cnntam of the Hamburg-AmericaLiner Vaterland during the last war, Jarka was interned as an alien enemy from 1917 1918.
