SECTION "B" SECTION "B" . _i——1——— I DIAL R-326 ALL DEP’TS THURSDAY, JULY 23,1942 “ SECTION B—PAGE 1 TO BE LAUNCHED IN CITY; MOVE TO GET FIVE TONS METALS __ “The American steel industry this year hopes to produce a rec ord-breaking 85,000,000 tons of steel—as much as all foreign countries put together can make. Our country alone this year is going to produce three tons of steel for every two tons the Axis can turn out. "To bring steel production up to the industry’s full capacity of 90.000. 000 tons in 1942, however, our steel industry needs an extra 6.000. 000 tons of scrap steel for its furnaces. Every ton of scrap we can send them will swell out national production of tanks, ships and planes and guns’’. Members of the local Salvage Committee, Mr. Kemp said, which , have charge of the salvage cam- \ paign. are: District 1, Pendleton Grizzard, 11 chairman; district 2, George Tay- ' lor, chairman; district 3, Tucker ; Fayed, chairman; district 4, W. G. i Alligood, chairman; district 5, G. ! R. Cross, chairman; district 6. J. j O. BeVane, chairman; district 7, C. H. Speight, chairman; district 8, J. D. Batts, chairman; district 9, Terry Draper, chairman; district 11, Morris Clary, chairman; dis emu xu, uunieuua n.awi«, chairman; district 13, Lonnie Dan iels, chairman; district 14, John Luptom, chairman; district 16, R. O. Carpenter, chairman. Heading the industrial commit tees are: Major Newsom, chair man of the Petroleum committee; Roderick Meikle, Patterson Mills Co. chairman; Robert Howell, chairman Roanoke No. 2 commit tee; William Thorne, chairman Roanoke No. 1 committee; Thorn ton Wilson, chairman Halifax Pa per Co. committee; William Alli good, chairman Rosemary Manu facturing Co. committee; C. Rob | ei*t King, chairman of Vepco com mittee; Frances Newsom, secre tary and treasurer of the Salvage j Committee, and Alfred Martin, | chairman of sales for the com mittee. Headquarters of the committee is at the Roanoke and Patterson Mills Co. employment offices in _ the Roanoke Bank and Trust Company building in downtown Roanoke Rapids. The committee telephone is R-551-1. In addition to scrap iron and steel, the materials to be collect ed are brass and other non-fer rous metals, rubber, rope and fats. Collection depots at which scrap iron and other salvage may be left have been established in each district. balvage will also be picked up under a system developed by the committee. Collections are made each Wednesday by Transporta tion Chairman George Justice. Mr. Kemp said that many of the local civic organizations would be called upon to assist in the drive. “An increasing number of boys from this city are already seeing active service”, he said. We on the home front must see to it that industry shall not lack the ma terials needed for adequately arm ing and equipping them. "Every housewife can play an important part in this drive. She should carefully inspect all her house furnishings—to find out what equipment she has that has outlived its usefulness. “An old iron pot or knife in the kitchen, the steel springs of an old upholstered chair in the attic, some discarded pipe or heating e quipment in the cellar, unused wire clothes hangers in a closet— these are a few of the things that will provide pounds and pounds of scrap. "Waste kitchen pots, and rubber, are also needed badly and should be turned in to salvage depots or filling stations. Chairman Kemp, following a meeting of his committee held in the Municipal Building on Mon day night, announced that to date his committee has collected a to tal of 128.639 pounds of metals, 10,955 pounds of paper, and 2,945 pounds of rubber. oasTon t ouTti Promoted Rank First Sergeant Keesler Field, Miss., July 21— Corp, George H.

Drive To Open August 31; To Be Largest Yet To meet the nation's war needs for scrap iron and steel and other salvage materials, a new intensive drive will be launched on August 31 in Roanoke Rapids to obtain at least five tons of scrap ma terials, it was announced here to day by F. S. Kemp, chairman of the local Salvage Committee. The local drive is part of the nation wide drive announced by Donald M. Nelson, WPB chairman. "As the war becomes more in ! tensive on the various foreign fronts,” Mr. Kemp said, “the need for scrap materials has steadily increased”. He declared that while collections of various types of sal vage have already been made here from time to time, the ex panding requirements of the war program have made it necessary to obtain much larger amounts of materials. In offices, factories, shipyards and workshops, the pause that refreshes with ice-cold Coca-Cola is a pleasant moment on the sunny side of things. This welcome drink is the way to turn to refreshment without turning from work. When you work refreshed, you do more work and better work. WELDON COCA-COLA BOTTLING WORKS. INC ITUST ITS l|llflllty
