MALCONTA POST WILL COL
LECT SCRAP IRON

A communicative collection 0f
scrap iron to help relieve the na-
tlonal shortage of this vital raw
material has been announced by L.
II. Cronin, Commander of Ma1conta
Post, No. "a, American Legion. v.
L. Jaynes has been appointed gen.
eral chairman of the collection Of
waste metals, which will be held.
dates to be announced later.
ut takes steel and lots of It to-
win this war" Commander Croniu
said, "and it takes scrap iron to
make steel. Although the United
States has more steel capacity than
the rest Of the world, unfortunate
iy there is serious shortage Of
scrap. AS result, many blast fur
naces and open hearths are black
ed out when they should be aglow
with their molten brew to make the
weapons with which our boys can
avenge Pearl Harbor."
He said shortage was due be-
cause that war-mad foreign coun-
tries bought up our reserves of
scrap iron. Between 1894 and
1910 when the government finally
placed an embargo on further ex-
portation of scrap, Japanese and
German vessels hauled almost 20
million tons from United States
ports he declared "In addition,
the tremendous rate at which the
steel industry has operated has eat
en- deeply into reserve stock piles.
This scrap shortage is Of serious
concern to the office of production
management
He said that experimental collec-
tions had been made by steel COM
panies and the government. They
showed that there are hundreds OF
thousands of tons lying idle in the
Easements and barnyards of the ma
tion in the form of worn-out metal
articles. To convert these useless
articles into bullets is the object OF
the drive, he said. Don't think
just because you have only few
pounds of scrap metal in your base
ment that it doesn't amount to any
thing. Your worn-out lawn now
er, melted up might destroy a Ger
man tank Your old kitchen range
might make an anti-aircraft shell
that would bring down Jap
plane"
He said that the Legion was ask
ing merchants, factories and con-
tractors to donate trucks for the
collection. Volunteers will also be
needed to accompany the trucks.
These trucks will then systematic
cally canvass Morgan county.
Householders will be asked to pile
their contributions of scrap metal
beside the street in front of their
homes.
All contributions will be hauled
to the community scrap pile located
at McConnelsville. The metal will
then be sold to scrap dealers at
market prices. Net pro-
ceeds will be used by Malconta
Post to purchase new equipment
and make needed improvements to
their new home in Malta.

Parody Presented
On English Society
At Gross Roads

Parody. a dramatic device that re-
lies nearly always for it's success
upon situations and characters con-
formable to popular imagination.
was chiefly responsible for the Cross
Roads latest comedy production,
"Springtime for Henry" which
opened last night at the Virginia
barn.
Benn w. Levy's playful thrust at
English society introduces an ap-
propriately named personality in
Henry Dewlip (Zack Macubbin
Waters, heir to the finest auto
mobile manufacturing concern in all
Britain. But Henry looks askance
at all things mechanical and busi-
ness-like ,devoting his waking hours
to the pleasures of wine, roulette
and his friends wives. The friend
most concerned, one Johnny JelA-
well, a paunchy, "Old Bean" Wode-
housian character who was a former
schoolmate of Dewlips in the
''lower-third," not only minds not
his wife's xtra-curricular activities,
but becomes downright offended
when Dewlip spurns her. Although
great friends, the Jelliwells, it seems,
begin to bicker when they see too
much of one another.
The fourth and final character of
the play, Henry's secretary, Miss
Smith, enters as one who believes
in the decent things" in life and
who decides to reform the erring
Dewlip. One OF the best scenes Is
provided by a vitriolic verbal battle
between the secretary and Mrs.
Jelliwell.
AS Jelliwell, the conventional buf-
foon who manufactures automobile
carburetors. Forney Reese makes
bis third appearance in the groups
fourth presentation of the season
and. rs usual, draws with merit
from the comedy's most difiicult

sweetly, which duties they perform
admirably.
