Movi Dance Feature S.O.S. Restrictive Club Heads Plan Drive PJC Salvage Day Predicted Success By the end of the day, Thursday, everyone should be tired of seeing nothing but broken down bedsteads, torn rags, and twisted metal. Thus, relaxation and a change of scene will be furnished by a moving picture and a “Victory Dance” that evening. The features at the Sexson “Theater” have been donated by friends, in the interest of the cause. One is a defense movie, showing the building of Students mapping out the territories to be covered are, left to right: Alice Graham, Jeanne DeGarmo, Glen Riley and Marilyn Morgan. Ed Isett, EXTRA Pasadena Junior College, May 27, 1942 EXTRA Participate In Field Day Climaxing our Salvage Day, students of both campuses will participate in an afternoon of ON CAMPUS SPORTS, three to six, meeting in the Men’s Gym East, as soon after your two o’clock class as is possible. An¬ nouncements as to the program of the afternoon will be given here. Swimming exhibition by our own jaysee mermaids at three-thirty. Conducting the various avail¬ able sports during the afternoon will be our leading campus couples. Betty Van Name and Bill Sargent are to be encour- agers of the swimming pool. Come out and cool off in the spirit of the day. Kay McCon- aghy and Johnny Morgan will entice those of you energetic souls to play baseball out on the grass field at the corner of Hill and Colorado. Managing the ping-pong tables will be Beth Johnson and Hale Thomas. These are only a few, come out and pick your favorite sport. bombers, and other such war industries. Maybe you’ll see some one you know — bucking rivets, typing, or reading blue¬ prints. On the other hand, for workers who see this type of thing day after day, there’ll still be enjoyment in the Disney cartoons. As never before, the whole student body will dance in both sections of the East Campus women’s gym. The place will be decorated as only the women’s gym can be. Local talent has been engaged in Duke Rinaldi and his orchestra, who has plans for blowing out the wall dividing the two gyms. Both of these affairs will begin at 8:00, but the dance will last until 12:00, so that no one will have to miss any¬ thing. Admittance fee for each of them is one ten cent defense stamp. This must be purchased at the door of the gym for the dance, and one purchased at the information booth outside the auditorium for the movie. Levis will be the mode of dress. Be prepared to ignore greasy smudges on the faces of JC’s glamour girls. They’re the ear¬ marks of their patriotism. Citizens Asked To Donate Old Metal And Paper Perhaps it takes a strain of the imagination to construe a battleship made of lawn mowers and toothpaste tubes, but a strain of the shoulders in the basement Thursday in haul¬ ing out strategic salvage will be the first step in the trans¬ formation — whereby Uncle Sam will construct battleships, jeeps and peeps from old metals. Housewives are being asked to ransack their homes from pillar to post, to lay out Salvage Will Bring This V For Victory any of the following articles of salvage value: 1. Papers, magazines, books, cardboard. 2. Old clothing, burlap, drap¬ eries, mattresses, blankets. 3. Metal beds, stoves, tire chains, pipe, batteries, tooth¬ paste tubes, and old copper. 4. Tires, overshoes, hot water bottles, garden hose. 5. Coat hangers. Brass, one of 300 copper al¬ loys, is much in demand. It is used for shell casing — artillery, anti-aircraft and anti-tank. Copper, another strategic metal is sorely in need. A bom¬ ber uses two miles of copper wire, whereas a 35,000 ton bat¬ tleship uses nearly 2,000,000 pounds of copper. Student Help Is Requested* Most of the support of the Salvage Drive is dependent up¬ on the student body itself. Handbills have been distributed as extensively as possible throughout the community, but Pasadenans have already been approached with other requests for salvage, and, naturally, our publicity has escaped some citi¬ zens. Thus, every patriotic stu¬ dent must take upon himself the responsibility of making sure that his entire neighbor¬ hood is well aware of the drive. He must see that each family has complete instructions as to what type of thing is needed and where to place it for collec¬ tion. The more scrap metal that is collected the more planes industry will be able to turn out. Metal is precious now', and our government is determined to salvage all it can.
