Transporting Cans
Ever wonder how a huge pile of aluminum cans about 6,000
pounds in all is picked up for transport to the recycling
plant? This machine here is the trick. With a little manual
manevering, this large tube sucks the cans up into the truck.
Here, an employee of London Iron and Metal of Atlanta,
works to gather up approximately 180,000 cans that were
bought from area residents by Lawrence Heard of Cumming.

To The Editor:
Recently we ran a notice in
the Forsyth County News
announcing a date for inter
ested persons to get together
and clean off the Mt. Zion
Cemetery, which is located
in the Oscarville community
of Forsyth County.
No one showed up from
this announcement and since
then, a small group has got
ten together and made a nice
showing toward cleaning off
and restoring this old ceme
tery. Several monuments
will have to be straightened
up. Some are already on the
ground.
There is still much to be
done and I know that there
are many people with civic
pride and respect for the
dead who will be happy to
know that we have made a
start toward restoring and
