Alexandria Is Tagging
In Salvage Campaign

In a plea for greater cooperation
by residents. the Alexandria Salvage
Committee said yesterday that the
city Is far behind its quota of met
ais, tin cans, paper and fats.
With all the schools cooperating
in the collection of paper, only 3.7OC
pounds have been turned in during
the last two weeks, Charles H
Mason. salvage chairman. said.
He added that so many of the tin
cans placed in the bins have not
been properly prepared that it is
necessary to pay for many hours OF
labor to have them sorted. Mr.. Ma
son urged residents not to turn in
cans unless they are properly
cleaned and f1attened.
Because of the small volume of
Salvageable materials turned in, ii
has become necessary to employ
men on the city dump to salvage
paper, cardboard. and metals which
householders and storekeepers have
thrown out with their trash.
Mr.. Mason repeated that scrap
papers may be taken to any of the
city schools, where they will be COL
lected every Wednesday. Tin cans
and small metal articles may be
deposited in any of the bins pro-
vlded throughout the city. fats
should be taken to butcher. and
rags in large quantities or large
metal objects will be called for if
the committee is notified by call
ing Alexandria 1854.
