words over whether the State De-

Can Salvage
Flattens Out

The program Of salyaging tin
cans has just about "hattened out"
according to Fred Older, city engi-
neer.
During the war years, scarcity Of
tin prompted many persons to flat
ten out their cans and save them
for the quarterly collections, made
by the city, under the auspices of
the salvage committee OF the Yp-
SLANT Defense Council. f. r.
Schill was chairman OF the COM
mittee.
The last collection, made March
81, indicated that interest in the
program had waned enough to
make further collections futile.
In addition, the Ypsilanti Office
OF Civilian Defense Volunteer Or.
ganization has officially been term
mated with the members having
been given their official discharge.
Any further collections would have
to be made by the city.
According to M-. Older. the city
council is expected ID name a date
early in May for annual cleanup
day, at which time the city will
.picis mp all cans LETT % the curb,
= There is still a shortage of tin,
and the salyaging is being con-
tinued In many localities.

reduction In wheat consumption In

recent national bakers convention

duce the weight OF a loaf Of bread
from 20 ounces to one pound. thus
eliminating the average waste,
four slices. from each loaf OF
bread. This. together with the
government ruling of two weeks
ago that extraction from wheat
grain would be raised to 80 per
cent, leads one local baker to say
that the government should give
the policy a chance to work.
Most bakers here have been
using the so called dark flour de-

for at least two weeks. The change
has been so slight that few have
