HALF MILLION
IN SALVAGE BY
RED CROSS;
!
SAN FRANCISCO. Her. 24 The j
well-defined plan for conservation
through salvage has put approxi
mately $525,000 in the Ked Cross chap
ter treasuries since January 1, 11*18,
according to the association’s officials.
This money is used by the chapters to
carry on the vitally important work
ol home service and other necessary j
Kej Cross work.
Salvage is a factor in Ked Cross •
work which has not been excluded by
the peace proclamation. The bureau •
of salvage and shop plans to continue :
its program of conservation as an ed- •
ucational feature in Junior Ked Cross :
School Auxiliaries. With tin* Juniors :
at work in every chapter in the divi-1:
sion. the lesson of conservation will :
he an enduring one. So organized.
; it is planned to continue the work
j as a source of income to chapter
; treasuries.
What the Juniors can do in tills
matter is shown by the following fig
ures: At present old magazines
! bring $25 per ton. and newspapers
I $1" per ton. which alone would amount
to $15.0uo or $20.o()o per month in the i
division if only a part of the papers
were turned over to the lied Cross. |
One chapter in the division has at
present a steady income of $1,500 aj
month from tin foil and lead foil, to
gether with about $1.8oo a month
from paper waste.
It is estimated that thousands of
tons of tin cans can be salvaged for
which no market has been developed
to date. This is in addition to more
familiar articles of junk metal, which
are now being salvaged in chapter*.
Interest in the salvage plan has in
creased consistently month hv month
throughout the Pacific division. The
reports on file at division headquar
ters show total receipts for last Jan j
nary amounting to $13,134.45 This
figure jumped to $58,757.1*8 in June,
the tot 1 for the first six months
amounting to $257,134.45. For the
succeeding four months the total to
date is $235.55105. which represents
an incomplete report for the later
period, and brings the total reported
to date up to $502,858.61. ;

CHRISTMAS PLUMS
Christmas- co-operation, cheer!
* * *
It is a catching affair, this spirit of
Christmas- ami the nearer it ap
proaches the more contagious it he
roines.
• • •
Every time that Christmas comes
around again we wonder why we
haven’t cultivated the Christmas
spirit all the year.
* * •
» Imping th.«t all our soldier
hoys, on bind and sea, will have a
tew Christmas plums on tin* day of
good will even though this year they
•nay he mostly in the pudding.
• # *
I’roh.thly the girls are saying the
same thing this y« ar that they have
said e\ery year in the past "Well,
bin going to start making presents
right a ay for next Christmas."
• • •
\V. get m i. l of the enjoyment of
Christmas out of the dreams that
come before and after. Oh, to dream
ot It before it eiiiin . to enjoy It while
it is line, and to appreciate it when
it has gone!
* * •
At least we are reasonably sure of!
one thing which is that no soldier
will have to go without a good Christ
mas dinner. Well, this is as it should !
he. sin e to paraphrase our old i
ftien ! Mr. I'l'vdon surely tie- brave
deserve the fare.
* » •
Not namin' any names, we are will
itig to admit that there are folks in
this world whose Christmas dinner
doesn't interest us in the least—ex
cept that we hope they'll have plenty ..
of food for reflection, and that after
the meal Is over they’ll get their just
desserts.
