A detour is no reapector of the condition of your tires. Collections by schools have led in poundage all other acti vities by a wide margin and have b^n responsible for a greater part of the scrap be ing salvaged and starW on its way into guns, tanks, ships and other implements for Victory. WPA tracks have also hauled in large amounts from farms and lo cal scrap dealers have purchased large amounts. The metal col lected by the schools will even tually reach the scrap dealers as It Is hauled in. North Wilkesboro school col lections have reached a total of approximately 100,000 pounds. A .total of 74,000 pounds had been sold yesterday before any scrap was moved from the big pile which had been collected by the students and carried to the school. The 76,000 pounds represented amounts collected or spotted by students and picked up hy trucks. Wilkesboro school has been very succe.ssful in the scrap drive and reports, although inconclusive indicated that every .school In the county had carried out successfal salvage campaigns. Totals for the October drive will show that Wilkes county has made g very creditable showing in comparison with other counties in the state, notwithstanding the fact that salvage work has been under way in the county for the past year and that the county had previously furnished large amounts of scrap metal for the war program before other coun ties had made much progress in this important ph.-se of w-ir work. Before the October drive began, thousands of Wilkes people had disposed of their .scrap metal and it had already been made into implements of war. The Journal-Patriot. which joined the organized campaign .sponsored hy newspapers in the state, wishes to express sincere appreciation to the many people in the cou'nty who have been re sponsible for the very successful campaign. In this expression of apprecia tion, special mention must be made of the work which has been accomplished hy the Junior Army —the 10,000 school children in Wilkes—and for the leadership of school officials and teachers who backed the drive wholehear tedly. By the’' work in s'llvage of scrap metal, they have rendered the nation and the cause of free dom everywhere a most valuable service. This newspaper earnestly urges that the tesk of salvaging scrap metal continue effectively for the duration of the war, and that every home and place of business take all metal to dealers just ?'s soon as It’s usefulness as an im plement or tool ends in the home, on the farm or In business.
