E REMNANT IS
AWARDED FOR
SCRAPRECORD
Chairman c. III. Roberts Turns
Banner Over to County for
Exhibit at Courthouse.
Praises Aid of Citizens, County
Agent and Schools; Says
More Is Needed.

In recognition of Valley county's
record in far exceeding its scrap
quota during the last six months OF
1912, the county has been awarded
an e. pennant by the federal war
production board, it was announced
Monday by c. H. Roberts, chairman
of the Valley county salvage COM
mittee.
Mr.. Roberts this week presented
the pennart to the board of county
commissioners on behalf of the cit
liens of the county. At the request
of the Montana preparedness and
advisory commission, the banner,
with white letters on a blue field,
has been placed on display in the
courthouse.
In his letter of presentation, Mr..
Roberts points out that Valley oun
tvs quota from July l to Dec. 81
was 1871 ,240 pounds. Actual COL
lections in Valley county during that
period were 3,440, 100 pounds, al
most double the quota. On a county
population of 1871 persons, this
gives a per capita collection of 226
pounds per person in Valley county.
Rank is High
State figures received from Will
liam E. Rae, state salvage chairman,
show Valleys tonnage of 1875 for
the period was exceeded only by
Yellowstone, Silver Bow, Lewis and
Clark and Cascade counties and
was equalled by Custer and Fergus
counties.
I'm making this a successful scrap
metal drive. great credit is due the
citizens of this county, and especially
are the schools to be commended
for their activity and success in ga
thering metals" Mr.. Roberts states
in his letter. Thanks must be eX-
pressed to Our county agent in as
the county committee in
reaching all rural homes"
But there is n thing remain
ing that it is still of utmost import
in winning this war. Our ma
ton still urgently needs scrap metal.
There are still many tons in This
county that should be brought in
and shipped. Let it be urged upon
every citizen of Valley county this
duty of continuing to back our SOL
diers by bringing in our scrap met
ais"
