PREPARATION OF
. USED TIN CANS
To: All Salvage Chairmen.
County Agmts, Home Demon
stration Agents, Executive Com
mittee, and Newspapers:
Our war effort needs every
used tin can in this country—
from today until the war isover,
Tin and Steel—we want every
single ounce. Not one can should
reach a city or a county dump
from this week on.
Tell the housewives and all the
citizens in your county to forget
about collections, but to start
i nmediately preparing and stor
ing every tin can used. In most
cities collections are going on
now, in some areas we won’t
collect for six months; in remote
areas maybe not for a year.
Eyen a large family cannot fill
a Hour barrel with the cans they
use duringa year’s time, if these
cans are properly prepared and
stored away.
Cut oft both ends, wash
thoroughly, remove label, and
step heavily, flattening the body
of the can. Put the top and
bottom in the can.
Through your committee, your
n wspaper, and through all pub
liey media instill the conviction
that the throwing away of a used
can is an unpatriotic act. Keep
them off the dumps. Create in
every home in the country a tin
steel bank.
All the cans are not needed at
the detainning plants right now,
nor may they all be needed this
winter, but by early summer of
1943 we will take every can out
of the cellars and send them
straight to the Axis via the de
tinning plants and the steel mills.
Collection disposal information
will be sent you soon, but do not
‘wait for it—Start the housewives
to saving prepared tin cans now.
Unused shells are not thrown
away after a battle because they
cannot be fired until the next
engagement. Cans on the dump
heaps are actually potential shells
discarded.

This is Entry Week In Our
Great Subscription Contest
ENTER YO’R NAIhE NOW!
The subscription contest announ
•ed by Telfair Free Press and the
Wheeler County Eagle slumld ap
peal to many of our readers. The
great opportunity to earn United
States War Bonds for just a little
spare time effort should appeal
to YOU, Mr. or Mrs. Reader, and
when a cash commission of 20%
can be drawn daily or weekly by
workers it is*hard to understand
why many more have not sent in
the ENTRY BLANK.
CAMPAIGN IN NUT SHELL
This contest differs from others
in tho past in many ways. In the
first place no worker can drive all
over the County in quest of sub
scriptions and votes, —the gas and
tire situation prevents tkat. In
this campaign workers will secure
the subscriptions right in their
own neighborhood among relatives^
and friends. No worker will secure
any great number, and that is just
why we want a representative in
every community in which these
newspapers circulate. While your
section may be small in the pos
sible number of subsariptions that
may be written, you will be the
only one working in the section so
in that way you will get all possi
ble to secure.
You invest nothing in entering
the contest —you do not have to
even be a subscriber to either pa
per- You are given » receipt book
free of all cost and also a list of
our present readers. You can eas
ily get these people to give you
their renewal subseriptiop. Then
there are many new ones to be
writtan. You get votes on every
subscription you write, —both new
and renewals count the same in
vote value
THE LIST OF AWARDS
After the Grand Capital Award
has been decided, then a list of
prir.es of equal value will be given
in both Telfair and Wheeler Coun-
