VOLUME SEVEN
SCRAP COLLECTION
NEAR 500,0CX) MARK
_/■ . r |
a
The scrap collection cam-*
paign in the c'ounty is now
nearing the 500,000 mark,;
-with scrap still being hatfl
;’ed from central collection)
points.
Rules Revised r
The three weeks" cam
paign sponsored by the
newspapers of the state
closed officially at mid- 1
night Wednesday. How
ever, because of the large
amount on hand in many
sections, the rules were,
reyised so that any scrap;
already collected could be!
hauled to the collection
center by Oct. 31.
Another revision that
will greatly aid this county
stated that any large piec
es that had been located
and donated as scrap prior
to midnight, Oct. 21 could
be estimated and brought
. in later.
Incomplete reports show'
that there is an estimated,
amount totaling 89,450
pounds in pieces so large
that they have not been
brought in. This will grea
tly increase the county’s
total.
Impossible To Make
Official Report
It is impossible to make
an official -report since
some of the scrap has been
sold directly to dealers in
Asheville, Marion and Bri
stol as well as being haul
ed to the collection center
at Spruce Pine.
The latest estimate made
Wednesday night, placed
the total at approximately
420,000 pounds with none
of the smaller schools re
porting. Busick school
then reported' 5,580 pounds
to boost the total. A re
port from the collection
and shipping point i n
Spruce Pine showed a to
tal of 265,416 pounds for
Yancey county.
Complete Reports Next
Week
A complete tabulation
will be made by the next
issue of the paper and it is
hoped that this may be
given by schools. Micaville
School has an approximate
total of j 100,000 pounds,,
Mr. Hubbard has reported
but none of the school re
ports are official.
Highway Trucks nelp
Seven highway trucks
were put on the job of
hauling on Tuesday and.
Wednesday, and the high
way personnel worked the
two days in getting the
scrap hauled in to Spruce
Pine. This made it possi
ble to get much more haul-1
ed in on these two days!
than at any previous time.
NOTICE I
The Yancey County!
Board Commissioners
will hold their regular
monthly meeting on Mon-!
day Nov. 9 rather than
Nov. 2 which is the First
Monday in Nov.
This change is being
made on account of the
County Election.

( HIGHLIGHTS FROM
THE SCRAP CAMPAIGN
j It would be impossible to
name those over the coun
ty who have contributed to
the scrap metal drive be
cause that would sound
like a census takers list!
Old and young, in every
section of the county: the
1 response ' has been some
thing to make > anyone
proud. A few instances:
The Black Mtn. Railway
set the employees to col
i lecting and the total was
27,000 pounds. Os this
amount, 8,000 pounds was
donated by Mrs. J. B. Ew
ing of Boonford and 4,000
pounds by Charles L. Gar
dner of Burnsville ihe has
! a son, Fred Bardner, at
Camp Adair, Ore.)
Old Press Donated
Another piece, weighing
approximately 2,500 poun
ds was donated by O. R.i
Lewis. This was the old
Washington Hand Press
which was brought into
the county in 1896 and used
for 25 years by Mr. Lewis
and J. M. Lyon, publishers
of the county newspaper
for over 40 years.
Following the 25 years
of use, the old press was I
seC aside £nd' later moved
to Mr. Lewis’ home. He
had kept it as a “reminder
of the old days”, but decid
ed that he would never
have an opportunity to
donate it to a better cause
than in the present drive.
Mr. Lewis also has a son
in service, John Lewis,
who is now stationed ini
Ireland.

Feldspar Milling Company
Contributes
The Feldspar Milling
Company donated several
thousand pounds to Mica
yille high school, and this‘
is responsible in large
measure for the fact that j
this school took an early!
lead in the inter—schooli
contest.
Many large contributions
have been made by indivi
duals.
Highway Department
Helps
The greatest handicap
to the campaign was the!
lack of transportation fa
cilities as only two W. P.
A. trucks were available.
1
On Tuesday morning
the county highway de
partment came to the res
cue and put their seven
! trucks to hauling for the
two days remaining of
the campaign. The amou
| nt hauled in took a tremen
dous jump during the two
days. * •’
