Offered To Increase
Production
In addition to the regular
price of five dollars a pound for
No. '1 and No. 2 qualities of
strategic mica, a bonus of one
dollar a pound 1s being offered,
effective February 1, for the
qilneral delivered to any of the
buying shops of the Colonial
Mica Corporation.
This announcement was made
this week by Fred Schaeffer,
district head of the government
-sponsored Colonial Mica Cor
poration, which furnishes equ
ipnjent to .miners and is the
government's agency for buying
strategic mica for war needs.
The Franklin office of the cor
poration is In the old bank
building on Main street.
The present price of five dol
lars a pound will take care of
the sheeting costs, it is stated,
and there are no changes In the
requirements in order to bene
fit from the increased price.

by the increased production in
this county, but it needs to be
stepped up still more In the

states. Strategic mica is now
the most Important metal

ary to Increase, and all those
in a position to mine mica are
urged to help their country's

Franklin high school, says that
interest runs high among the
students, who crowd around the
bulletin board at every oppor
tunity to get last reports that

ded to the selling by J. TTI war
Stockton, who has offend a $tt
bond to the school In Macen

ton is stimulating keen compe
tition and should be deeply ap
preciated, not only by the school
children, but by those in charge
of the Fourth War Loan Drive,"
said Mr. Jones.

are buying stamps to be turned
