DESlGNAIES RALLY WEEh
Paul Church, county chairman of
the junk drive, has designated next
week, from Monday, the 18th, to
Saturday, the nth, as a special
Junk Rally Week for all of Lin
coin county. That is the last week

it is hoped that all school children
will make a special effort that
week to swell the piles Of junk they
are accumulating to be used in de-
stroying the Axis and all they stand
for. Not only school children but
adults as well are asked to put
forth every possible effort during
this Rally Week to make the collec-
ton of all kinds of junk exceed ev-
cry previous effort. Junk Is need
ed to fight the enemy and junk we
must have.
This newspaper has information
this morning from eastern news
paper headquarters that scrap is
still not coming in fast enough to
keep the steel mills in operation.
Lincoln county should produce at
least 100 pounds for every man,
woman and child. That means a
total OF $4,000 pounds. That
amount will be collected and great
deal more ought to swell the junk
piles before this campaign is fin
ished.

slogan of the Public Schools this
week as they scour the back yards
and the alleys for discarded metal

an area 20 feet square on the yard

pile. They have been granted 9

a height of three feet but the holi-

buried the three disturbers of the
peace of the world under the pile
