10000 Raid Wardens
In D. {. Brought Into
Scrap Metal Drive
Defense Aides Can PIoy
Big Port in Compoien,
MiIehum Declares

The city's 10000 afraid wardens
were brought into the scrap metal
campaign today with an appeal
from their chief, William ]. Mile
ham, to do everything in their pow
er to insure the success of the drive.
Pointing out that the warden
service was not being asked to do
actual collection, Mr.. Mileham sug-
gested that deputy wardens instruct
the men under them to boost the
drive with the citizens of their
sectors.
Wardens, he said, should give in
formation on what was needed at
this time and perhaps assist in re-
moving bulky articles from homes
to the curb on collection day. At
the same time, he suggested that
wardens urge their neighbors to
take all small donations of scrap
to the salvage depots themselves.
Can Put Campaign Over.
Most important" he went on,
"all wardens can stress the abso-
lutte necessity OF getting behind this
drive 100 per cent to assure the
donation Of all scrap metals avail
able. With very little effort on
its part the warden service, as a
powerful organization in the Dis
trict of Columbia, can go a long
way toward putting this campaign
over"
He pointed out that junk dealers
who pick up the scrap metal when
it reaches the depots will pay the
standard price to the agency in
each area which has worked on
the drive. Mr.. Mileham empha-
sized that the funds received by
the collecting agency for the area
will definitely be used by these Or
CARNATIONS in the area in which
the scrap is collected.
Importance of Drive Stressed.
"The Importance of the success
OF this campaign cannot be over
emphasized" he declared. LAS
/ loyal, patriotic Americans it is our
duty to do everything in our power
to insure the success of the drive" :"
Mr.. Mileham also emphasized the
scrap metal campaign at the deputy
warden meeting last night when
he told the 66 deputies that they as
well as all their aides should see
that all metal scrap left their own
homes. He also suggested at the
meeting that the deputies person.
ally acquaint residents of their Sec
tors with the urgency of the drive.

Under the sponsorship of the

to be known as, Milford Service
Center is being organized for all

to the Carlisle Fire Company, how

rooms in the Community Building,
but it was decided the rooms in
the old Armory could be used to a
much better advantage as a center
for the service men.
Each organization will have a
part in helping to maintain the
center. All enlisted men in any
