Scrap Metal Campaign Notes

There is a large pile of scrap metal in a back yard at 29 Shelf field terrace, Waterville, but mo- body had better attempt to col lect it, that is, not until Oct. IT, The scrap was collected by Dickie Seeley, 8, George Antonio, g. and Jackie McKelvey, 10, all of that address. Whenever they are not in school or in bed, the three boys are always watching the scrap pile for fear someone bigger than they are will attempt to cart it away without their getting credit for gathering it. This is hereby a public notice to everyone to keep hands of" until collection day.
 Gurth F. Chambers. regional salvage manager for New Eng land. War Production Board, has emphasized that tin cans should not be mixed with scrap metal. The iron and tin go to different places. The tin cans are shipped directly to detinning plants, while the scrap iron goes to scrap dealers who demolish, sort, process and bale it for delivery to the steel mills. The scrap dealers do not have the facilities to handle the tin cans. Thus if they are mixed with the iron, they slow up the dealers.
 In Unionville. 10 tons of scrap metals were collected on Sunday in the opening drive. Air raid wardens aided in the collection, while trucks for removal were furnished by local firms. A com- munity meeting will be held ill the Hopeville school gymnasium on Friday night to make plans for the scrap drive.
 The state of Nevada in it's last scrap metal campaign collected 100 pounds per person. In order for this city to equal that aver age. 5000 tons of metal must be collected.
 In Birmingham, Ala, the bars from the windows of the old Jef- ferson County jail are being given to the scrap drive. The bars weigh about four tons. The gall lows at the Conecuh County jail will also he salvaged. They have not been used since the capital punishment was changed to elec- trocution.
