Scrap Harvest Plans Mapped At Conference

(Continued from Pare One)

to cooperate in getting the material into war production by delivering it to a aalrage depot, donate it tor collection by a municipal salvage truck or sell it to a Junk dealer before October 31. Cards containing these pledges will be filed with the County Agricultural Agent and a check will be made at the close of the drive to make sure that all junk promised on the cards has been moved. Saturday, October 24, will be designated as Junk Rally Day in all of the county’s townships - Middle, Lower, Dennis and Up per. Donors will be urged to tak their scrap to the nearest salvage depot on that day. Children certified by their teachers as having turned in at a salvage depot at least 10 pounds of scrap metal •or rubber on October 24 or 26 will receive a Certificate of Cooperation from the County Chairman of the Scrap Harvest. Special salvage depots will be set up in all parts of the townships. Locations of all these dcK at the seashore as well as d. will be announced next

week.

Collection by trucks will 1 made in all of the townships Tuesday, October 27, of materials which donors arc unable to hapl to a salvage depot. Volunteer •Corps chairmen will notify salvage committee chairmen where trucks arc to call on that day. Names and telephone numbers of salvage chairmen will be printed next week for the convenience of all cooperators. Freeholder O. M. Corson, director of highways, has given his assurance that county road trucks will be made available if needed to assist in any municipality's collections. While more than 200 tons of scrap have been collected in the county since the drive started, “the surface has scarcely been scratched on most of the farms,” Smith said at the meeting Friday night. "The farmers are just completing their busiest season of the year and for that reason past drives have been directed at nonfarm properties.”

"I am confident,” the Harvest Chairman continued, "that the farmers of Cape May County will respond to this appeal in such a way that many will be amazed at the scrap tonnage realized in the October 15 - 31. I believe they appreciate the fact that the appeal to them was delayed until they had time to canvass their properties and that they will show their appreciation by a 100 per cent response. 1 was bom and raised among these men and I know their patriotism. Nowhere will you find a more steadfastly patriotic group of men than Cape May County farmers, or women more intensely loyal to their country than Cape May County farmwives Large numbers of these men and women have sons or brothers in the armed forces. Others have men in their families who are destined to enter the service within the next year. They know, without being told, how important it is to provide the iron, steel and other metals that are needed for ships, airplanes and other instruments of war. I have no hesitation in predicting that farm families will respond nobly to the appeal about to be ad-

dressed to them.

“Old tractors, old automobiles, plows, cultivators and other large pieces of equipment which no longer are used, are. of course, of greatest value. Hut no pieces of metal of any kind, and no piece of rubber, is too small to aid the

war effort.”

Figuring 100 pounds per person on farms—the War Production Board says the average should be substantially more—and 50 pounds per person on non-farm property, the goal for the entire > "county would be about 900 tons.

More than 60 tons of scrap have been co’lected at Cape May, 50 tons at Ocean City, 45 in Middle Township, 20 in I-ower Township, 12 at Wildwood Crest, 5 each in Stone Harbor and Avalon. Sizeable collections have been made in Upper Township, Woodbine and Sea Isle City but no official estimate of the tonnage has

been given.

Wildwood will have its biggest collection day on the second day of the Scrap Harvest, Saturday. October 17. Ocean City will complete its work on that day. Stone Harbor, Avalon, Sea Isle City and Cape May. as well as Wildwood, have promised full cooperation in the county-wide Scrap Harvest. The purpose of the Harvest, as explained by Clinton M. White, executive secretary of the New Jersey Salvage Committee, is "to obtaii; every pound of scrap iron and steel, other metals and rubber from every farm in this state. This means all types of farms — dairy, poultry, truck and gen- . eraL” It was at White’s suggestibn that participation of nonfarming areas in the Harvest also

was asked-
