ujTged to do its share in making this drive a huge success, at this lime TJvhen scrap of all kinds is needed more urgently than ever before.
I     Before October  9, all the  chil- I dren in Ambler are asked to take I the tin cans and any small pieces of  iron  scrap  to  the  school they j attend, as the five Amblor Schools have   been   designated   collection j centers.   The more scrap material I at these collection centers before ! October 9, the greater the success I the drive will be. ¦     The schools which are collection centers are: Ambler High School, the   Forrest   Avenue   School,   the I Mattison Avenue  School, St.  An¬ thony's Parochial   School  and   St. Joseph's   Parochial   School.    One vital way in which the children of , the community can help the war j effort is to take salvage to these : points, not only their own salvage ; but  their  neighbors'  too,  if  it is I possible. I    Whatever   cans   and   pieces   of
iron salvage are left at the homes, where children are unable to take it all to the schools, or where there are no school age children, will be picked up on Saturday afternoon, October 9, when the official drive is on.
The borough truck wifl at differ¬ ent times throughout the afternoon be stationed at various centrally located spots around the town. For

LOCAL BOND SALES
The students of the Fort Washington School have set an enviable record in the sale of war stamps and bonds. During the two weeks, September IC and September 23, the pupils made sales totaling over $900; during the first week they sold $285 of bonds and stamps; dur¬ ing the second week, the group sold a total of $650. Last school term the pupils sold over $3,000 of bonds and stamps. The school enrollment this year is 195.
Tho M'hitpain Township Schools are pressing strongly the sale of War Bonds and Stamps in this the last week of the War Loan Drive. The Sen¬ iors, who are sponsoring the drive, report considerable weekly increa.ses in sales. Mon¬ day of this week sales totaled $991.66. Another collection will be made on Friday, in order to more successfully conclude the campaign. This, however, will not end tho weekly sales in the school, as the pupils will con¬ tinue selling for an indefinite period.
Another large purchaser "Backing the Attack" is the Lodge Ruggero Bonghi, of Am¬ bler, who purchased a $500 bond at a special meeting held for that purpose at the Lodge hall on Butler avenue. Ambler, on Sunday. On Monday night, approximately $300 worth of bonds were sold at the Ambler Theatre, when all patrons who purchased a bond were admit¬ ted freo to the show.

The   Third   War   Loan   Drive,
scheduled to close today, has been
extended to Saturday, October 2,
in order that the goal .set for the
Nation   might   be   realized.    "As

BUTTER POINTS INCREASED
I Little butter is available here, I but after Sunday it will cost cus- ! tomers sixteen points per pound, I instead of the previous twelve ; points; that is, if you can get any ' butter. The raising of the ration I cost of butter was announced I Tuesday by the Oflfiee of Price Administration. The point increa.se makes butter almost prohibitive in man.y homes, because the required number of points tor a pound of butter may use up one persons' entire weekly quota of brown stamps. The previous increases in butter points were from the orig-
ing .singing and acting ability by | of   Grami   Jury   indictments   and; Mrs.   G.   Fred   Kimbel,   of   Jones

CHRISTMAS MAIL
Thousands of America's fight¬ ing men overseas are likely to have a giftless Christmas if rel¬ atives back home do not'mail their Christmas presents soon. The deadline is October 15. only two weeks away, and postmast¬ ers in this and other comnxini- ties report a surprisingly small volume of early mailing.
Remember — mark the (lar- ccls, "Christmas Parcel". Ad¬ dress them clearly and com¬ pletely. Pack things securely, but so that they can be opened for inspection, Df) not send [ler- ishables, and remember, mem¬ bers of the armed forces are amply provided wilh food and clothing. Don't let our boys down! Do your part to see that they have a nice Christmas!
