GEORGETOWN

!, Beginning October 1 and continuing
until October Fl, the Georgetown Sal
wage Committee has made plans 70
: the collection of scrap metal and rub
: Der in conjunction with the Nationa
Scrap Harvest Campaign. The pile o
, junk to be collected will be deposited
! on the lot owned by Theodore BurtoI
OH Market street. The scrap is to b.
collected from all sections here as wei
, as the surrounding country. Collection
will be made within the city limit,
beginning at noon on Monday. Truck,
will make a canvass, block by block
street by street. 1t is to be piled al
the curb in front of the homes. Many
tons of scrap metal and rubber are
expected to be collected.
Frederick P. Whitney, chairman OF
the Georgetown Salvage Committee is
urging the rural folk to start collecting
and bring it here to the scrap heap.
Members of the committee designated
Monday for the city collection in order
to give the residents the opportunity of
using the weekend to rummage through
the barns, garages, attics and back
yards and make collections.
A request is expected to be made for
the four cannons now located in front
of the court house. They are relics of
the first World War and were obtained
from the War Department through the
efforts of the late DR.. Caleb R. Layton,
former member of Congress. The
cannons, it is said, will yield many
hundreds of pounds of scrap. 1t is also
pointed out that many other towns and
cities have such relics from the first
World War and if collected would
mean thousands of tons of vitality
needed scrap. 1t also is pointed out
tina tthe War Department has a right
to con6scate them since they were not
an outright gift. So far as known
Georgetown is the only community
which received them in this county.
