lack of definite information as to
the collection and disposal of the

hauling will be available on cer-^

will be given County-wide pub

RUBBER: Is ^tem No. 1. The
rubber shortage is very acute and
we are asking that special care

rubber.
M.ETAL of all kinds: Is the
second need. Scrap iron, brass,
aluminum, copper, zinc, tin, etc.
PAPER: At present time there

your paper supply but store as

of tin in same is only about 2%.
The tin has to be burned off and
