In Wilkes, Caldwell and Alexan-
ately 350,000 pounds
of rubber were collected ta
Wlflcias county during the scrap
rubber collection campaign, whieh
ended July ;M>.
The figures were released to-

Indttstrlaa scrap rubber cbalrmsn
for Wilkes county.
Mr. Bason said that the figures
arq approximate and that somo
few leports from dealers havs
not been received.
This total represents the am
ount of rubber collected by the
petroleum products, dealers and
by scrap dealers. Of that amount
approximately 225,000 pounds
were collected by petroleum
products dealers and distributors.
Taking Into consideration that
many of the residents of the
county are away in service In the
armed forces and on war industry
and construction jobs, the total
scrap rubber collec'ed Is near the
goal of ten pounds per person
for the county, making Wilkes
rank very high among the coun
ties of the state and nation in av
erage amount of rubber collected
per capita.
The rubber collection cam
paign was instituted and carried
out at the direct request of Pres
ident Roosevelt In order to ascer
tain the amount of scrap rub
ber for use.
