 lection; Makes Appeal

It has been made public by J. Warren Upson. chairman of the cityn tin collection drive that tin cans will be collected from the streets south of East and West Main street. Saturday, November 2

Upson has reported that the last collection, north of these strets proved to be one of the poorest which may have been contributed to by teh fact that housewives. genera ally, are using fewer canned goods However, the chairman pointed out there are still a great many house wives who have never saved the tin and if they were to start now it would mean a tremendous impetus to the whole campaign.
 It $ urged that people gather the tin cans in some corner of the cell lar or back yard, adding to 1t each day, and on the appointed collec- ton day place 1t in front of their dwelling so that 1t may be picked up.
