BRING SCRAP METAL;
SAVE SOLDIERS’ LIVES! *
Our country must have scrap
metals and other materials for
its war effort and our county
must help out.
Some scrap has already been
contributed but much remains to
be done and it is a personal ob
ligation of every citizen of the
county to join in the campaign
that is under way now.
This material is needed imme
diately and is needed vitally. The
plants that make the machines
for war cannot function without
it and no patriotic citizen can be
lax in doing his part!
Materials needed are:
Scrap iron and steel, other met
als of all kinds, old rubber, bur
lap bags, and waste cooking fats.
The most important thing to
do now is to notify F. P. Bacon
of Try on, giving approximate
amount and location. Plans will
be worked out immediately for col
lection of the scrap but the infor
mation should come first. A post
card may be used or telephone a
personal message. But notify F.
P. Bacon or C. H. Helms.
