SCRAP METAL
CINEMA-GOERS 1 GIFTS
ROME, November 30.
The largest picture palace in Eome has followed the example of a patriotic cinema owner who accepts scrap metal for the Government in lieu of the price of admission for his own pocket. People streamed in with flat irons, utensils, and crowbars, children bringing scooters and tricycles. An adult handed in an old "crock" motor-car, which was proudly parked at the entrance to the hall, placarded: "We do not care a hang for sanctions." The entire collection will be handed over to the • Government, even including stolen goods.
