Civilian Defense
Council ToStart
Waste Salvage

The Ohio State Council of De-
fense this week launched its
Salvage for Victory" program
and issued instructions to the
Newark Council of Defense to
appoint a local salvage commit
tee.
Governor John w. Bricker al
ready has designated l.. E. Pier
son, state supervisor of salvage,
as chairman of the state commit
tee.
Governor Bricker suggested
that personnel of local salvage
committees include trade and sal
wage dealer representatives from
the rubber, paper, scrap iron and
steel industries.
In some communities, he add
ed, it will be advisable to include
representatives of civic, welfare,
charitable and fraternal organ
izations that have been active in
previous scrap collections.
The Governor recommended
that the Newark Council of De-
fense nominate an executive
committee to direct the salvage
campaign.
Courtney Burton, executive
director of the Ohio State Coun-
Gil of Defense, in a communica-
tion to the Newark defense coun-
Gil mapped a three-point plan for
the success of the salvage pro-
gram:
l. An intensive working organ
ization. 2. The cooperation of the
individual citizen in his home,
garage, shop, or whatever scrap
metals, paper and rags may be
collected. 3. The full utilization
of the existing commercial chan
nels for the collection and dis
position of waste materials.
Burton said the chief function
of the local salvage committee
will be to supervise the collection
and flow of scrap and other
waste materials through estab-
lished dealers and collection or
ganizations for war industries.
wherever practical" Burton
added, "a method should be es-
tablished to obtain funds through
this activity for operating expen-
ses of the local defense council" )"
The Ohio State Council of De-
fense, it was learned, will issue
a detailed salvage program to
local defense councils within a
few days.

Supervisors Ask
Tin Investigation

Imperial county supervisors Mon
day authorized the drafting of a
resolution based on a similar ex-
preston from Riverside county
board and addressed to California
senators and district congressman,
asking for a congressional investi-

the powers that be" to develop
western tin deposits.
Considerable deposits of tin ore

California, in Nevada and at Coro-
ma in Riverside county, have been
utterly ignored, according to the
resolution, which demands to know
