Pilieliiirst School Cliilclreii in Drive
lo Get 100 Pounds of Scrap Per Pupil
Pinehurst ■ school children this
week entered wholeheartedly into
the scrap drive with a “big push” on
Tuesday when no classes were held
but the whole day devoted to scrap
collection, aiming at the goal of 370,-
000 pounds, an average of 100 pounds
per pupil.
By the middle of the week, a total
of 115,000 pounds had been reported
collected, as a result of high compe
tition among grades and individuals.
The biggest single haul was made by
the 11th grade which learned of an
abandoned boiler, buried at the back
of the Carolina Hotel about 26 years
ago, and estimated to weigh about
6,000 pounds. Away went the 11th
graders with pick and shovel, and
finally several fathers came to their
aid with acetylene torches and a
wrecker. Long after dark, Tuesday,
the boiler was unearthed and cut into
pieces for loading. Other grades are
.now busy unearthing pipes, stoves,
iron beds, cars, in an effoi't to over
come the advantage of the big boil
er.
From early morning until dark
Tuesday, a procession of trucks, ex
press wagons, bicycles, cars, two
mule teams, one horse and buggy, a
mule and wagon, wheelbarrows, dog
teams, long pipes re.'sting on sets of
I wheels and many, many on foot,
made their way to the scrap pile,
which grew constantly.
Teachers have also had their hands
full keeping individual reco»ds for
each child, grade records and going
out with the pupils to help with
weighing and being on duty at the
two scales at the schijol.
The Pinehurst Salvage committee
is composed of Dr. D. B. Nettleton,
Max von Schlegell. Mrs. Robert Har
low, Frances T. Keating, J. W. Har-
bison, M. P. Wilson and Clarence
Thomas.
