SCRAP CAMPAIGN
MOVING ALONG
RAPIDLY IN CITY
•I?_
Partial List
Of Things To
Save Is Given
With collections oeing made
on Wednesday of each week from
deposits established in each of the
seventeen districts in the city, the
Salvage for Victory campaign here
is moving forward rapidly under
the direction of F. S. Kemp, Sal
vage Chairman, and his executive
committee.
Mr. Kemp reported yesterday
that contributions to the salvage
drive were fast clearing the city
of scrap materials essential to the
nation’s war effort, but he added
that a much greater effort must
be put forth by residents of the
city if the permanent salvage
campaign here is to net the de
sired results.
With this in mind, Chairman
Kemp listed the following articles
that should be cleared from the
premises of every residential and
business establishment:
Housewife, look for these in
your attic: Beds, made of brass
or iron; electric cords containing
copper wire; electric toasters,
irons heaters, fans, or any elec
trical equipment; hardware, door
knobs, hinges, keys, locks, trim,
springs; kitchen utensils, old
knives, pans, pots, scissors; lamps,
licrVitins- fixtures made of brass,
copper or iron; ornaments such as
metal ash trays, bowls, statues,
vases; porch and garden furni
ture made of metal; radios, brok
en parts made of metal; screens
made of brass or copper; toys,
sleds, ice skates, roller skates;
vacuum cleaners, and broken parts
containing metals’.
Husbands, look for these in
your cellar: Coal stoves that are
worn out; fire place equipment,
such as andirons, grates, pokers;
fire extinguishers; furnace parts,
along with old grates, metal doors,
etc.; iron and nickel parts of old
gas stoves; pieces of iron, brass
or copper piping; plumbing fix
tures, such as bath tubs, faucets,
sinks, etc.; old radiators; refriger
ator parts such as ice trays, in
side linings, etc.; tools, including
all old tools made of metal.
Husbands and sons, look for
these in the garage: Automobile
parts, such as chains, batteries,
license plates, parts of motors,
tires and tubes, bicycles and tri
cycles, garden tools, lawn mowers,
hoes, pick axes, rakes, shovels,
etc.
In addition to these,. old rags,
paper bags and boxes, and old
newspapers and magazines, and
“plunder” around the house should
be oarefully sorted and carried to
the deposit lots. Each of them
are essential to the war effort, in
that they are vital in the build
ing of planes, tanks, guns and
other war material.
Chairman Kemp said that he
was expecting the Salvage For
Victory drive here to begin bear
ing fruit now that the seventeen
district organizations have been
set up and deposit lots selected
and marked with signs so that
people of the district can easily
find them.
“Help Scrap The Japs With
Scrap”.
Note: The above list of scrap
materials essential to defense, is
only a partial one. Another list
will be carried next week.
Stell Speaks To
Senior Class At
Aurelian Springs
Rev. Lawrence I. Stell, pastor
of the First Presbyterian Church
in Roanoke Rapids, delivered the
commencement sermon to the
members of the graduating class
at Aurelian Springs Sunday after
noon, May 3, before a large suidi
ence. Rev. Albert E. Simms, Bap
tist minister, assisted him in the
service.
Mr. Stell, whose message was
well received by pupils and par
ents alike, chose as his theme for 1
discussion, “Criticism". He pointed
out to the seniors the fact that :
their lives have been sheltered
lives; but that from graduation on,
it will be every man for himself.
He told the members of the ,
class that the criticism which they
will receive, no matter what field
of work they choose to get into,
will not mean nearly so much in :
their lives as their reaction to the
criticism will mean.

Enfield's
Political
Honor Roll
(From Enfield Progress)
With the primary only about
thirty days ahead it is well worth
noting that quite a long list of
Enfield boys have come to the
front or made good on the Polit
ical horizon—a record outside of
their business or professional ca
reers, which demonstrates that
citizens in this community take
their Sovereign responsibilities se
riously.
This is as it should be, the
Progress believing that the privi
lege of voting plus the privilege
of holding elective office is an
American right to be compared
with the freedoms for which our
country made costlv sacrifipps in
its infancy, and maintained
through the years by the toil and
patriotism of Statesmen who have
labored for country above self.
Many adverse criticisms mark
political contests and frequently
such contests produce unhappy
repercussions, but we believe that
these are generally overestimated
and run not much longer than a
campaign, resulting perhaps in a
few disappointments. But what
contest is not followed by defeat
- -
as well as victory?
The Progress have observed a
number of citizens in and around
Enfield who have served and are
offering to serve their State and
county. We are glad to recount
their names and to remind the
public of their achievements.
Some may have been omitted. If
so, it is an oversight.
