This is a per capita total of 50.1 pounds. This total includes all that has been hauled to junk dealers or the collec tion center and also some of the larger pieces located which as yet have not been moved. Most of this has already been donated to 1 the school. Since the scrap continues to be hauled in for the var ious schools, the totals in the school contest have not been made up.

People are urged to con tinue collections as county leaders still hope to reach the 100 pounds per person quota which has been set for all counties of the state.

FARM ENGINEER URGES PAINT FOR MACHINERY I Very little new farm ma chinery will be manufac , tured for the duration, and •D. S. Weaver, Extension i agricultural engineer of N. [ C. State College,, says it is ; I absolutely essential that i farmers protect and pre i serve the machinery they , now have. Some machines • j will be irreplaceable, he de clared, and failure to pro !-j tect and preserve them [may result in not only an . indivuidal, but a National r loss. , . “Rust is one'of the chief - enemies of farm machin r ery,” said Weaver. “Most r paints form a protective - covering over "-the metal, 3 but only red lead paint will ) actually prevent rust.” The farm engineer says r that ready-prepared red lead paints are available, -Land the only caution is to • secure a high class product. - Cheap paint is a mistake at any time, says Weaver, ■ and particularly at this ! time. Standard brands i turned out by reliable man ! ufacturers should be used. Some farmers prefer to make, up their own., paint. The Extension specialist ' suggests the following dir ections in preparation of 1 home-made paint: i ! ’ 1. By volume, mix three .MZtS of dry red lead and [one part of raw linseed "oITT Allow this mixture to stand at least.three days so that the oil will thoroughly wet the dry red lead. 2. Thin the paste to painting consistency with an equal volume of thin ning mixture composed of six parts of raw linseed oil, two- parts of turpentine, and one part of liquid drier 3. Stir thoroughly and strain out lumps of foreign material. You cannot stir too much, and frequently paint is stirred too little. ; 4. Use a good brush and apply thoroughlyto all ex -1 posed surfaces of the metal 1 Mr. and Mrs. Holt Pierey of Springfield, Pa. are vis ' iting relatives here. ..— [★ ~ ★ lilltcti you&usf lit tilt WAR BONDS L* ★ A Flying Fortress is to America’s air fleet what heavy artillery is to : the Army, This gigantic four-mo • tored bomber, equipped with heavy cannon, carries about three tons of bombs and reaches a speed of about 300 miles an hour. .JP %/L. / These ships carry a crew of seven to nine men, weigh about 22V4 tons, have a wing spread of 103 feet and each motor develops 1,000 horsepow ! er.
