Let's collect it today and eet it ready for the pickup

Now. Wednesday is a declared holiday in Haywood.
That means you can get out and get those pieces of scrap
together and eet them into this phase of the war effort.
Get the pieces spotted now and get them out Wednesday.
You can sleep better, knowing you have done your part
for that boy away out yonder who is under fire.

of available scrap for Uncle Sam's war machines.
Howard Clapp, general county chairman, was in contact
with rural leaders and chairmen of the four Haywood towns,
and all reported much enthusiasm prevailing, and 'all set"
to get out after scrap Wednesday.
From down at Canton, came word from Harry Winner,
chairman, that Canton expected to gather 500,000 pounds
Wednesday, and that 16 trucks had already been volunteered.

A PROCLAMATION
Citizens of Waynesville, Hazelwood, Canton, Clyde and Haywood
County:
Whereas, it has now become apparent that unless millions of
tons f scrap metal are added at once to the nation's scrap pile, the
manufacturers of arms and ammunition in the United States in the
immediate future may be seriously impaired through the slowing
down of the output of the nation's steel mills, and
Whereas, the newspapers of America have united in leading a
campaign for scrap in which the newspapers of this state, including
The Waynesville Mountaineer, which is taking; the lead in Haywood
County, have joined enthusiastically; and
Whereas, this campaign which began October 1, and will close
on Wednesday, October 21, has received the support of thousands of
citizens and groups throughout Waynesville and Haywood County,
and
Whereas this county has done a splendid Job so far, there la
much more to be done ere the day closes on Wednesday, 21st.
We, the undersigned do declare a holiday for Waynesville, Clyde,
Canton and Hazelwood communities and Haywood County on Wednes
day, 21st, at which time schools and places of business are to be closed
in order that every citizen of the area may devote the entire day to
collection of scrap.
