Ship More Than Four Million Pounds Of Scrap From County
Continued Collection
Of Scrap Iron Urged
Complete Reports
Front The Schools
Not Yet Available
Possible That Marginal Iron
And Other Materials Will
Be Junked for War
Complete reports from the cam
paign eonducted by the county
schools are not yet available, but of
ficial reports coming from salvage
dealers clearly indicate that Martin
County has, since Pearl Harbor, gone
over the top and set the pace in the
collection of scrap iron, steel and
metals. It is reliably estimated that
dealers have handled since last De
cember 7th more than four million
pounds of scrap materials, or about
154 pounds per person. The salvage
dealers point out that these figures
include collections handled by the
various schools.
Asked about the school collections
yesterday, W. K. Parker, owner-op
erator to the Williamston Parts and
Metal Company, explained that he
had the figures tor sales made by
several of the schools, but they were
not inclusive since individual deliv
eries were made direct to his yard
with credit going to designated
schools.
Collections have been moved from
the schools at Oak City, Williams
ton, Hamilton, Gold Point, Bear
Grass and most of the scrap at Rob
ersonville has been hauled, sorted
and shipped to the blast furnaces.
It was also stated that the material
gathered by several colored schools
had already been moved and ship
ped The collections in all the schools
will be cleared within the next week
or ten days.
Approximately 162,000 pounds of
scrap iron, steel and metal were ship
ped from the county last week, Mr.
Parker stating that most of that
poundage came from the several
schools in the county. Equally that
much will be shipped this week and
the early part of next, he added.
"The war is still going on, and the
collection of scrap iron and metals
must go on, too," War Production
Board officials pointed out. When
every available piece of scrap is ga
thered up and used and there is still

CHAIRMAN
In commending the school
children of the county for their
cooperation in the collection of
scrap iron for the war effort, T.
J. Spivey, chairman of the coun
ty salvage committee, points out
that there is still a great need for
more scrap, and urged the chil
dren and others to keep up the
good work.
Frozen
Overalls, overall jackets, dungar
ees, work shirts, pants, breeched, and
one-piece work suits made of cot
ton fabrics can be sold at no higher
prices now than those prevailing last
March.
need for more, it is quite likely that
marginal machines will be junked.
By marginal machines is meant those
machines that are still serviceable
but are not in operation. It is also
possible that some machines now in
operation in those industries far re
moved from the war effort might be
junked before this war is brought to
an end.
Just as soon as all the scrap can
be moved, the weights will be
checked along with the individual
receipts issued and the campaign
will be reviewed by schools and by
individual leaders.
Before that is done, Salvage Chair
man V. J. Spivey states without res
ervation that the canvass was a
marked success, that much credit
is due to the little school folks and
to those who cooperated in the task.
Mr. Spivey, conscious of the contin
ued need for more scrap, is urging
everyone to keep the collection mov

HANDLE BIG JOB SINCE PEARL HARBOR
L^wk? nmm
The efforts of W. K. Parker
and his workers in collecting
salvage materials for the war
were recently recogniied when
ranking War Production Board
representatives presented the
Williamston Parts and Metal
Company the special merit
award, the first of its kind to be
awarded in the county. During
last month, the company ship
ped tons of scrap from the
yard or enough to make 485 tons
of new steel which, in turn, will
make 430 75 mm cannon, or 75
3-inch anti-aircraft guns, of 8,400
3-inch shells, or 8.600 50mm air
plane machine guns, or 1,750 500
pound bombs for Tokyo. More
than four million pounds of
scrap iron have been shipped
from the county since Pearl
Harbor. Included in the picture
are War Production Board rep
resentatives Taylor and Zim
merman, Mr. Parker and several
of his workers.
Large Force Needed To Keep
Metals Moving Factories
Ever try breaking automobiles and
nachines to pieces and sorting out
he various parts? Well, it is one
>ig job, but one that must be done
o keep the blast furnaces of the
ountry burning and the war effort
n high gear.
Unable to get a complete set of
nachines for handling the job, W
C. Parker, manager of the William- j
ton Parts and Metal Company looks
o hand labor to handle most of the 1
vork at his yard here. While most I
>f the metal is cut down to proper
izes with torches, a great deal of
nanual labor is used up swinging1
xes and sledge hammers. Most of
he wood fastened to the scrap iron !
s burned away. Cast iron is placed '
nto a car by itself, steel goes into 1
nother pile, tin into another, and
ther types of metal into still oth-'

Government Will
Control Manpower
The\ lives of millions of Americans
which have undergone change since
before the war will be further al-1
tered, to some perhaps drastically,
in the months to come. For control
of manpower by. the government ap
pears inevitable. Already Minnesota
has come to grips with the problem.
There, Governor Stassen has order
ed non-e: ntial industries?and the
state to reduce by 20 per cent the
number of male employees so as to
make available more farm labor.
What form nationwide manpower
control should take is still a much
disputed matter in Washington cir
cles. President Roosevelt favors vol
untary control, but if this method
fails to produce results, he adds, "we
shall have to have new legislation."
It is one of the questions that will
bear watching for it may mean that
John Smtih, a clerk in your home
town, will be turning out war wea
pons for Uncle Sam's fighting forces
next year. Some idea of what man
power means in these days of global
warfare is indicated in the estimates
of military men who figure that it
takes ten men behind the lines to
supply fully each man in uniform
