Rotary Club Backs
Junk Jewelry Drive
The Bellefonte Rotary Club is
sponsoring a collection of junk jew-
elry in Bellefonte and vicinity, to aid
the soldiers overseas.
Junk jewelry is far mere valuable
than money in purchasing goods and
services from the natives of some
foreign lands, especially in the South
Pacific area, and the soldiers wita
a pocket full of trinkets is far more
wealthy than the one with a large
bankroll
The Rotary Club, of which Musser
W. Gettig is president, has named
the following committee to direct
the collection of jewelry here: Rob-
ert Woodring, chairman, James Y.
Sieg and James B. Craig. Boxes
have been placed in White's Drug
Store, at the Corman Food Market, |
and at Jack Wilkinson's storp in
which jewelry may be plac Vari-
ous clubs in the area are asked to

Q Please tell me how and when
to use lime.
A~Put lime on whenever you
have time to do it. The best way, as

{crops each year if you can.
Q-—May I have information on
waxing turnips for storage?
