Will Pick Up Paper On Ev
ery Street In Town.
Details Are Given
A Waste Paper campaign will
be conducted in Brevard this Sun
day afternoon from 2 until 6
o’clock and every person in the
town is urged to co-operate.
The city-wide collection drive
is being sponsored by the Bre
vard Junior Chamber of Com
merce.
Members of this organization
will go over every street in town
in trucks and pick up waste paper
from every home that will co
operate.
The public is asked to co-operate
by:
Collecting up all old newspa
pers, magazines and boxes in their
homes, folding them out fiat, tie
ing them up in 12-inch bundles
and placing them on the front
porch or out on the side of the
street.
The Jaycees have secured the
[service station building located
here on the corner of West Main
and England street and the waste
paper will be stored there. Later it
will be hauled to distribution cen
ters.
This drive is being sponsored
at the urgent request of the War
Production Board and the county
salvage committee,
“The waste paper shortage is
one of the most serious that is
confronting the government today
in the way of salvage material,”
James B. Vogler and Howard
Wyatt point out.
“On account of reduction in the
wood pulp industry and the short
age of labor, many mills have been
compelled to step up -their use
of waste paper. A few mills have
had to close down because of lack
of sufficient waste paper.”
“The Jaycees are glad to ren
der this patriotic service and we
will appreciate the co-operation
of every person in Brevard in
making this campaign a success,”
Curtis Kelley, president of the
Jaycees stated.
Complete plans for the drive
were made at a meeting here
Tuesday night.
Will Raise Celery
Plants in County
Next year celery plants will be

Orr, three Florida men who are
large producers of celery, have
found and purchased 10 acres of
land in this county that meet
celery plant raising requirements.
These men are W. F. Wheeler,
of Oviedo, Fla., and A. B. and
George W. Morgan. The land was
purchased from Joe Bryson at
Selica.
Fewer Items Of Farm Machinery To
Be Rationed In 1944, Wilson Says
A new farm machinery distribu*
tion program which provides for
actual rationing of considerably
fewer items than in 1943 and sets
up a much more flexible system
for distributing the greater
amounts of machinery to be avail
able in 1944 has been announced
by the War Food Administration,
according to T. J. Wilson, chair
man of the County USDA War
board.
Reflecting the prospects for in
creased machinery production in
1944, the new program provides
for distribution control over only
46 types of farm machinery, of
which only 31 actually are on the
list of rationed items, Mr. Wilson
said. Tight production and distri
bution factors made it necessary to
put distribution and rationing con
trols in effect on 91 items of ma
chinery manufacturing year.
“Although some production dif
ficulties are expected, the machin
ery outlook for 1944 is much im
proved”, he declared. “Production
of new machinery under WPB or
der L-257 is authorized at an av
erage of 80 per cent of 1940, which
was a better than normal produc
tion year. Compare this with the
authorization of 40 per cent of
1940 under L-170 for this year,
and it is easy to see why we ex
pect more machinery in the near
future. The WPB recently advanc
ed the beginning of the farm ma
chinery manufacturing year to
