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.

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.

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.
