Rubber Disks Salvaged From Old Ship Donated In Campaign Here G. C. McKeithan, of the Woodburn community in Bruns wick county, has turned over three rubber disks salvaged from the Confederate blockade runner, “North Heath,” to the New Hanover scrap rubber campaign. Four disks were recovered from the blockader, each meas uring about 15 inches in diam eter and five-eighths of an inch thick. McKeithan loaned one to the New Hanover Coun ty Museum. The “North Heath” was sunk In the fall of 1864 just north of the present site of the North Carolina Shipbuilding company. The blockader remained there some 68 to 70 years until Gov ernment engineers found it about eight years ago while working to deepen the channel. S. L. Burris, brother-in-law of McKeithan, helped raise the wrecked boat and found the disks, which he gave to the Brunswick man. They had been used as pump packing on the vessel. The rubber is in good con dition even after a watery . grave of more than three score years. It is estimated each disk weighed about five pounds. Huge Supply Of Scrap Rubber Discovered In Hanover Mass HANOVER, Mass., June 27—(TP) —Discovery of 3,000,000 pounds of scrap rubber, which transformed this normally quiet, rural commun ity into a “boom town reminiscent of the gold rush days,” was report ed today by the Massachusetts Sal vage committee. The committee said that the rubber—“literally acres of it”— was found on the site of the aban doned Clapp Rubber Co., which sold its machinery and va-ecked its buildings in the days when there were “limitless crude rubber sup plies and there was no market for scrap.” There apparently is enough sc^p, the committee added, to meet Massachusetts’ entire quota under President Roosevelt’s salv age program. A survey by David Lunduist, War Production rubber specialist, indicated a considerable quantity was very valuable. After discovery of the scrap by one of its employes, an oil company undertook the task of carting it away but hundreds of residents, including enterprising children, had the same idea, and the company turned over the project to the salv age committee. The “mine” is located on the same site where the first plow in the United States and the anchors of the historic Frigate Constitu tion, now enshrined at the Boston Navy yard, were forged. “Word of the rubber mine spread through the town like wildfire,” the committee reported. “Hanover children raided the place and car ried away hundreds of pounds to the nearest gasoline stations for a penny a pound.” When the committee stepped in it obtained options on some of the rubber, but allowed owners, who refused options, to sell the scrap on their land. They were not al lowed te remove it. however, until the Rubber Salvage company of the Reconstruction Finance corpo ration issues shipping instructions. 35,200 Pounds Of Scrap Rubber Collected In Brunswick’s Campaign SOUTHPORT, June 27.—The first week of the drive for scrap rubber in Brunswick county netted 35,200 pounds, with not all collec tion points heard from.
