PUBLIC URGED TO PLACE SCRAP ON
CURB NEXT TUESDAY OCTOBER 26TH.
Second Scrap Drive Well Under Way Now;
Get All The Scrap You Can Find.
I.ce Cauble, chairman of the
second scrap drive, stated today
that the response of the people of
CherryVille in this second drive
has been excellent but that there
still remains a lot of scrap to be
collected. The pile beside the
post office is growing ant| it js
hoped by the members of the
scrap drive committee that it
will continue to grow and equal
that of the last dri\e.
Citizens are urged to place
their scrap on the curb in front
of their homes so that the trucks
can pick it up next Tuesday af
ternoon. Several piles were col
lected in front of homes last
Tuesday but the town as a whole
hasn't fully responded to this
request. All citizens are asked
to gather all scrap metal, tin
cans, old tires, etc., and make
them available for the collectors.
The government is in need of
the scrap or this drive would not
be on now and people all over
the country are enlisting their aid
in rounding up the scrap. A quota
of 15 million tons has been set
for this drive and the expectations
are that it will surpass the re
quested amount.
Please call any ol the members
of the scrap committee and report
scrap piles so that trucks may be
dispatched to collect the scrap
and haul it to the pile by the post
office. The members of the com
mittee are: Lee Cauble, Roy Car
penter, Howard Houser, VV. C.
Cobb, and J. L. Putnam, Jr. There
is still much scrap which can be
collected in Cherryv'ille and this
will not only «. the government
but will aid in beautifying the
town. The boys on the lighting
fronts all over the world are giv
ing their all in this fight for free
dom and the least the people on
the home front can do is to “Back
the Attack” in every possible way.
Let’s all get busv and gather all
scrap that may be lying around
idle doing no one any good so
that the quota set for North Car
olina in this drive will be over
reached
