Citizens Start
Search For Junk

The "Scrap Harvest" in Dick
enson county started off Monday
morning Of this week ano Will
continue through to October IL,
and it is hoped that every bit of
scrap metal and rubber in the
county will be gathered up dur
ing that time and delivered to
the various salvage depots over
the county. Factories are in great
need of scrap metal and will be
unable to turn out tanks and
guns very much longer without
the one hundred percent cooper
alton of citizens throughout the
nation.
Early in October a school holi-
day will be declared, according
to the superintendent of schools.
All the school children in the
county will be modified on that
day and under the supervision Of
teachers will comb the county
for scrap metal. All citizens are
urged to begin collecting scrap
now. The children will come to
your home for the scrap metal
and carry it to the school or
some collection center where it
will be picked up by trucks of
the highway department and
trucks owned by citizens of the
county. Citizens are asked to do
nate all scrap metal to the
schools and let the schools sell it.
If any citizen wishes to sell his
scrap metal the school will sell it
for him and give him the money
received.
On the basis of school popula-
ton, the school board will award
a prize to the school that has the
best scrap collection.
But let us all get busy and roll
in the scrap. Four salvage depots
have been established in the
county; one at Clintwood, one
at Haysi, one at Clinchco and
one at Nora. Volunteer trucks
owned by Walter Jackson, Sher-
man Wallace, Claude Reedy, Fred
]. Carter, J. M. Stanley and 9TH
ers will aid in picking up the
scrap.
During the period from Sept.
Il to October 10th the nation is
expected to collect at least II
million tons of scrap. Virginia's
part is $4,000 tons, and for Dick
enson county the figure is about
800 tons.
