The coun ty award will be made on a per capita basis so that all counties will have an equal chance. The contest was planned • to give competition and; provide friendly rivalry among the collecting agen cies. The scrap is the main thing, and that person or county who works to the hftgt .of he wins a prize or not, willT share in this great and vi-! tal contribution to the war' effort. “ • Scrap is priceless.

( Three Weeks Contest The contest will last for three weeks, Oct. 1-21 How ever, —t h e gopernment trucks will probably not be here until Monday, Oct. 5.

Boys and girls and their mothers and fathers must gather up the junk so that it may be load ed on the trucks easily. The scrap may be sold by individuals or it may be donated. If it is donated by individual collectors the proceeds will be received by the county defense cou ncil the designated re ceiving agency, J. B. King has been named treasurer for the council to sign re ceipts for all donated metal All schools are named as deposit centers and money from the junk collected at the school will go to the in dividual school. Many Inquiries Many inquiries have been received by the Sal vage Committee— during the past few 4ays. In many instances it has been im possible to give a satisfac tory reply since it has not been clear just how the col lection will be made. How ever, when the campaign gets into operation it will be easier to understand how it will be best to carry it on for the maximum ef ficiency. * . * •/ THE YANCEY RECORD “DEDICATED TO THE PROGRESS OF YANCEY COUNTY” SUB.
