farm near here last Wednesday
night, it was reported by Mrs. Wag-

If the fire had reached the farm

England Much AS
Eastern u. S., Peck
Soldier There Says
BY Courier Correspondent

FORT PECK - Mr.. and Mrs. j
N. Swain received a letter from
their son Private Mack S. Swain,
who is with the army in England
The letter was postmarked Aug. 81
and arrived here Saturday, Aug,
20.
Quoting from the letter, Private
Swain writes, Il finally arrived at
my camp here in England this
morning. We had a very unevent-
full trip across the ocean. 1t was
cold and the weather was rough
most of the way, but I arrived here
safe and healthy, without being
seasick.
England is not as I had pic
tured it, but 1 am not disappointed
as it is very much like eastern
United States as far as the scenery
goes. The towns are rather queer
looking though. The houses are
side by side like apartment houses
and they r all built on about the
same style. On some streets each
house will be identical to its neigh
Dor for the whole length CT the
street, making them look like one
continuous building. The streets
are very narrow and crooked. 1
have travelled quite a few miles
overland and have seen a lot of
damage, but it is not nearly as
great as you might imagine as
all of the buildings are made of
stone Or brick. I haven't seen one
frame building in England yet.
81 am feeling fine and I hope
to be back home again before many
months have passed. Take care of
yourselves until 1 see you. Your
loving son, Mack"

Watson Says Need for Scrap
Grows More Urgent very Day

State and national leaders are *
pressing growing concern over the
scrap shortage in America and are
urging every county to do its part
so our war effort can continue at
full speed, it was declared by Mark
Watson of the Markle Transfer
company, who was among a group
of Montana implement dealers call
ed in to a special war production
board meeting in Helena last week.
In a letter to C. H. Roberts, chair
man of the Valley county salvage
committee, Mr.. Watson outlines the
plans discussed for the statewide
scrap harvest" scheduled to begin
in Valley county on Sept. 81, as
they we're discussed at the WPB
meeting.
Among points stressed by Mr.
Watson is that a fixed statewide
price for %unclassified scrap has been
set at So a ton at the yard.
Scrap Price Fixed
1.-The price of mixed country scrap
has been set by the office of price
administration at 1888 a ton on
the car, F.. o. B. Montana points,"
he ADDS. Scrap is not worth this
much at most points, but the gov
eminent is substituting the differ
ence, so there is no likelihood OF
scrap going higher"
1.-THE scrap dealers of the state
have agreed to pay So per ton for
county mixed scrap. This means
that they get s1.38 per ton for buy
ing and loading the scrap. How
ever, should the scrap dealer care
to process the scrap after buying
it, he can get more money for it.
But his base price is 1898 a ton,
which means a small price for buy
ing and loading"
The scrap situation is considered
so serious, Mr.. Watson adds, that
'the WPB is planning to take up
old ~streetcar rails, although the
cost of taking them up is estimat-
ed at s25 a ton, while their value
is $13 a ton"
Should Start Soon
His letter states the WPB urges
The Glasgow courier. [volume] (Glasgow, Mont.) 1913-current, 1942-09-03

the drive start in each town be-
fore it does in the country, so that
it should begin soon in Glasgow.
Other salvage materials, such as
rubber, brass and aluminium, should
not be overlooked.
Mr.. Watson said he is. informed
that some local truckers are in
terested in buying the scrap at the
farm, paying the farmer 81 per
ten and then trucking the scrap
to town. This system is being fol-
lowed as a WPA project in some
counties at the same 81 rate. Far
mers who wish to have scrap picked
up may leave their names, with APP
proximate amount, at the Pacific
Hide and Fur depot here.
