I Washington has repeated its appeal for
fruit pits and nutshells, as the results OF
the campaign thus far have been disap.
pointing, and in making the second call
the government urges that all contribute
as much as possible. Every nut shell OF
fruit pit contributed helps in saving
American lives from German poison. Here
in Barre there are some, though all toe
few, public receptaeles for depositing fruit
pits and the nut shells. Il will take So,
900 pounds to make carbon for 5,000,00(
men, which indicates readily how enor
nous are the requirements at the present
moment. The task seems almost impos
sibe until it is realized that the stones
Of peaches alone coming into New Eng
land last year would fill IS cars, or yield
100000 pounds. Even the one peacl
stone plucked from peach purchased foi
immediate consumption Is worth the say
ing.
