Meet Tomorrow To Plan For Scrap Harvest (Continued from Pace On«) more than 6,000,000 farms in the country during this drive, which is nation-wide in scope. While the drive nationally directed at farms, the New Jersey Salvage Committee has asked that resort areas in this county also cooperate in the intensive caml> *Jr?embers of the Extension Service Volunteer Corps will make a farm-to-farm canvass, asking that each farmer make arrangements to move all scrap metal off his property before October 81 so that it will become available for use in the war effort. Arrangements will be made for moving pieces which are too large for farmers themselves to haul to Salvage Depots. While practically all of the more than 100 tons of junk already collected in the county has been donated, the farmer who feels he should be paid for his junk will be asked to agree to sell to a junk man before the month ends. When requested Scrap Harvest workers will contact two or more junk dealers

for him.

“Experience has shown,” the

Harvest chairman said yesterday, '•that the majority want to give their scrap to help defeat the Axis in Europe and to help prevent an invasion of this country. But occasionally someone feels that he should be compaasatcd. We have no criticism of the --cian who wants to be paid the pkevailing price for his scrap, providing he actually sells ‘‘ ”' 1

Important thing is to get

ing at once into channels where ft will help the Allies win the

war."

Money raised by salvage commitees in the various municipalities is. used to aid the war effort and for charitable purposes. Middle Township holds its funds for the purchase of air raid equipment. Sea Isle City donates the proceeds of its collections to the Betty Bacharach Home. Others give to the Red Cross, USO or for various other deserving causes. The committees sell the materials which they collect to junk dealers. This is what the War Production Board instructs them

to do.

“Scrap must be properly sorted, graded, prepared, packed and accumulated in lots large enough to ship efficiently before it can be used by the mills," Donald Nelson, head of the WPB, said recently. “Only the junk dealer has the experience and the equipment to do this. “The junk dealer cannot get higher prices by hdlding his stock, since ceilings have been placed by the government on prices at Which he can sell to consuming mills. A well-run junk yard will always have a certain amount of scrap on hand. An empty junk yard produces no scrap. Any dealer who hoards is subject to requisitioning by the government.” Coast Guard Band To Play For Dance Sat.
