Newspaper Page TextVOL. LXXI. No. 41 ALL GROUPS AID SCRAP CAMPAIGN t The Newspaper Scrap Metal drive got under way Monday to continue for three weeks. Throughout Houston county, adults and children, both white and colored, are busy this week locating and gathering scrap metals of ail kinds needed by the government in the manufacture of war implements. Each school child who collects as much as 100 lbs. of scrap will awarded a token button by t he Houston Home Journal. Teachers have been requested to report names of these children to the newspaper. On Friday this week, there will be a collection of scrap in Perry. The city truck will be used and high school boys will assist. Perry citizens are urged to have their scrap metal, scrap rubber, old rope, clean cloths all ready for the truck. Put all scrap in a pile in front yard, if possible, or in some place con venient for truck to load. Collections of scrap will be made in the county next week. County trucks will be used and F. F. A. boys will as sist community committeemen in collecting the scrap. A Salvage Depot has been es tablished on the vacant lot on Jernaghan street across from the Court House. Don’t wait for trucks but bring your scrap to this collection depot in Perry. It will be impossible for trucks] to make a house-to-house can vass in the county. Scrap is be ing collected in some centra! lo cation in every community so that it can be picked up by coun ty trucks. Ask the community committeemen about location of scrap pile. Announcements of the Scrap Drive have been made at church es, schools, theatres, Civilian Defense meetings, and Kiwanis club meeting. Letters have been sent to the farmers telling them of the urgency of the scrap drive, by the county War Board. All agencies in the county seem eager to make the scrap drive a success. C. P. Gray, county salvage chmn., received a letter this week from C. A. McCraven, president United Ce ment, Lime and Gypsum Work ers International Union Local No. 23 at Clinchfield, pledging the co-operation of organized Labor in the scrap drive. The Salvage committee and the county newspaper appreciate this pledge from the Union at Clinchfield and the fine - response bom all the groups in Houston county. Let’s all work together and show ourselves as well as the state of Georgia what Houston county people can do to help our government in this Scrap crisis!

WARTIME CAMPAIGN BEGUN AGAINST FOREST FIRES The State Division of Fore stry announces the launching of a fire prevention campaign Octo ber 1 in Georgia as a part of a nation-wide wartime undertak ing. “Forest fires are enemy fires” says State Forester Walter Dyal who explains that forest pro ducts are essential war materials and that forest fires are the greatest hindrance to growing these materials. Heavy draft has been made on the forests for war purposes and, he states, that only by keeping fires out of the forests can new growth be es tablished and the forests come back to full production. Because of the atmospheric haze created by forest fires, Mr. Dyal states, unfavorable condi tions tor plane flights and for the use of artillery are developed. As a consequence the army is very insistent upon forest fire black outs for the duration of the war. While the campaign is state wide, Mr, Dyal says that fire prevention activities Will be in tensified in a great part of the State as a military requirement and that the Office of Civilian Defense is expected to have a part in suppressing fires in the military areas since the fires hinder war efforts. The slogan ‘‘Careless Matches Aid the Axis,”is being featured.
