Some did not.


Most folks donated only newspa-
pers, magazines, books, cartons, and
paper which had salvage value, as
requested.
Some donated trash paper-bread
wrappers, grocery slips, and small
items dropped loosely in boxes
which have no salvage value, unless
tied in bundles. and also which
exceedingly hampered salvage
workers.
No love-letters were collected
during Sundays paper drive so far
as is known and the Lions wasted
little time during the collection
reading
Many man hours were lost,
though, in the collection of paper
and boxes which were not properly
tied, or which failed to meet salvage
requirements.
Regardless, Libby Lions are CRATE
full to Libby residents for the paper
