To Salvage
When you hear a clatter of
horns and.tin cans Saturday eve-ning,
don*? think it a Democrat
paying off an election bet he
lost to a Republican. Instead it
will be a noisy notice that Sun-day
is to be Salvage Day sq you
will begin digging out all the old
metal laying about the prem-ises,
, Fearing there were people who
did not read the newspapers, Wil-lis
M. Summers, salvage chair-man,
and O. Brooke Bowen
chairman of "Rumpus" decided
the attention of all must be
brought to the fact that scrap
metal—no tin this time—is need*
ed by he Government to con*
tinuc the war to a successful
conclusion.
Accordingly tt wa@ planned to
send out two trucks, Ane to tour
the,north and the other the south.
Each will carry a "gutter band,"
made up of members of the High
School band, just to make a
racket, which will be accentuated
with cowbell ringers and other
noise making devices* Flood-lights
will be played on signs
announcing that metal will be
collected Sunday.
Trucks will leave the parking
field in the rear of the Munici-pal
Building at 9 A.M., and tour
the entire village* Volunteers are
needed to assist in the work. At-tired
in work clothes they may
