PAGE 4 — Smoke Signals, Wednesday, January 28, 1976 Murfreesboro Joins Nationwide Aluminum Recycling Program By REYNOLDSMETALS COMPANY Reynolds Aluminum Recycling Company today announced it is expanding its nationwide recycling program - which pays cash on the spot for all-aluminum cans and other clean household aluminum — to include a mobile unit collection stop in Mur freesboro. E. J. Kelly, Jr., Mid-Atlantic regional recycling manager, in making the announcement, said the program began on Thursday, January 15, when the mobile arrived at Chowan College in front of the gym from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. The recycling unit returns every Thursday at the same location and time each month. The public is encouraged to bring all-aluminum beverage cans and other clean household aluminum found in the kitchen such as pie cans, frozen dinner trays and foil to the unit anc recieve payment of 15 cents per pound. Aluminum is easy to identity. The best way is to place a magnet on the side and ends of the can. If it does not stick, the can is aluminum. Many cans have the words “recyclable aluminum” printed on the side, have rounded bottom edges and no seam on the side. With the addition of Mur freesboro, the number of tocations in the state moves to 43. “This program will make for a even cleaner Murfreesboro en- vfronment,” Mr. Kelly said. “In addition, aluminum recycling conserves an important natural resource and saves energy - each lime aluminum is recycled, a 95 percent energy savings results over producing aluminum from virgin ore.” Mr. Kelly pointed out that in other cities with recycling programs civic clubs, church groups, charitable organizations and schools use the Reynolds program as a worthwhile method of raising cash for their needy projects. Since beginning its progran in 1967, the company has paid the public about $25 million and collected in excess of four billion all-aluminum beverage cans. In the first ten months of this year, Reynolds collected the equivalent of 1.6 billion all-aluminum cans from the public, operating its program in 36 states, an increase of almost three times over the similar period in 1974. “We are very proud of the fact that Reynolds is redeeming the equivalent of about one out of three cans sold by its can division, the leading aluminum can manufacturer in the United States,” Mr. Kelly said.

By Phil Royce The E. Lee Oliver Chair of Bible and Religion is being established at Chowan College with an initial gift of $130,000 from Lee Fagan of Stanardsville, Va. whose mother, E. Lee Oliver, graduated from Chowan in 1893. Fagan stipulated that income from the gift, the largest single donation in the history of the college for endowment purposes, be used to undergird the college and stengthen the religion department through establishing a Chair of Bible and Religion. In commenting on the gift. Dr. Bruce E. Whitaker, Chowan’s (x-esident, noted: “The depart ment of religion is an important part ot the academic program at Chowan, a baptist college. The generous gift from a long-time friend will add strength to strength in enabling the college to serve and prepare its students even better.” “Mr. Fagan’s gift towards the endowment of the E. Lee Oliver Chair of Bible and Religion— along with the earlier approval of the establishing of the Colgate W. Darden, Jr. Chair of Business—means that Chowan College is ‘on the way’ but especially for the two-year college.” Continued Dr. Whitaker, “At Chowan, every student takes at least two religion courses. Thus , each student who attends Chowan will benifit from Mr. Fagan’s .” Chowan’s president said the gift endowing a Chair of Bible and Religion at Chowan is a “fitting memorial” to Fagan’s mother, who died Sept. 13, 1966. Fagan earlier donated his mother’s 1893 diploma the college’s Antiquities Room along with an invitation to and program for her May 29, 1893 ^aduation from the Chowan Baptist Female Institute. Fagan is a graduate of Washington and Lee University and served as auditor with Greyhound Corp. for thirty years. A Franklin, Va. native, he is a master Mason and active Shriner, holding memberships in Piedmont Stella Lodge No. 50 and Virgina Heights Lodge No. 324 in Roanoke; Scottish Rite- Richmond Chapter; Com- mandery and Elks Lodge in Charlottesville; ACCA Temple and the Jesters in Richmond; the Eastern Star and White Shrine in Charlottesville; the Amaranth in Crozet; and the Odd Fellowa in Stanardsville.

Chowan’s business manager, Ben Sutton, said the gift tioosts Chowan’s general endowment to about $700,000. Wrestling Wednesday January 28 In Gym At 7:00 PM. Chowan Vs. Norfolk State
