At a meeting of the Garrett Coun-
ty Salvage Committee, composed of E.
Ray Jones, chairman; F. E. Rathbun,
Ray Teets, Clarence Leighton, John
II. Carter and Ruhl Talbot, held on
Monday night plans were made for
further collection of metal and rubber
scrap, tin cans and waste kitchen
fats, and committees were appointed
for many sections of the county. 1t
was also planned to use the schools as
the center for this campaign insofar
as possible.
A general campaign for the coIlec-
ton of metal and rubber scrap will
be put on during the month Of May
the dates to be announced as soon as
final arrangements for the collection
and disposition can be made. This ma
terial is greatly needed in the war
effort and prior to the dates of the
campaign all people in the county are
being urged to gather this up and
have the same ready, either to be col
lected, or taken to such collection
depots as may be announced 1t is be-
lieved that great deal of this scrap
still remains in the county and that
several tons can be collected. Full de-
tails will be announced later
Tin cans, prepared in accordance
with the method shown IN The Re
publican today, are also greatly
needed and arrangements have been
made for the collection of these. Be-
ginning with Wednesday of next
week, the committees asks that all
who have saved and prepared cans
take or send them to their grocery
stores or to the schools, for which
committees have been named. Regular
collections every few days will be
made and the cans gathered from the
stores and schools and kept at cen
trail depot in Oakland until sufficient
have been accumulated to warrant
shipment. Information leaflets de-
scribing the method of preparation of
cans are being distributed through
the schools This plan will be followed
until the close of the school term,
after which collection will be made
through the stores.
Definite plans have not been COM
pleted with regard to waste kitchen
fats, although there are now a mum
Der of stores in the county where
these can be disposed of and from
which collection will be made. The
committee is endeavoring to obtain a
complete list of places from which
dealers will make collection and as
soon as this is at hand it will be pub
lishcd. The committee urges house
wives to save these fats until an
nounccmcnt is made, unless they have
already arranged with the stores and

been able to accumulate.
