Now it is up to you and yotrSScTyou to see‘that thè scrap pile grows with a mighty harvest ' òf old rubber and metal. The sal vage committee has spent a great <ieal of tim e 'and effort planning the drive, but your cooperation will ' measure the degree of success at- , -tained. Stop for a moment. Lean •back in your chair. Think, now, of your boys, subjected to enemy , bombing and gunfite. Will you al- , low them to face this ruthless' en- ■emy withoilt the weapons neces- ' sary to fight back? Must they open a second front before they -ate properly equipped? This drive is in deadly earnest. The makers of steel must have scrap, and their supply is almost gone. Now is the time to act! Get up from that chair, now, and make a survey of your cellar, your attic, your barn and yard. When the canvasser •calls at your home please be pre pared to tell her how much scrap you will have. Remember she (or he) may call any time after Thurs day, and the job will be easier if you have your information ready. Briefly, the campaign will be ■conducted as follows: Between Oc tober 15th and 24th a canvasser ■will call at your home to ask how much scrap you are. giving, whether you will take it to the scrap depot yourself or want it picked up at the curb, (if it is a small amount the committee will appreciate Vour taking it down yoursejf) and, if you prefer to sell it, will you col lect it and call the junkman to come and get it? Whefa \the entire village and rural area has been canvassed the committee will have knowledge of where the scrap is, and during the week of October 26th — Scrap Harvest Week — volunteers will make the rounds tp pick It up. Our neighbors .in. Marlbn have already collected over 160 tons of metal, and they’ve only just begun. Let’-s_take Marion’s work as a goal and then beat their record! * When the boys in theoSolomons, in the British Isles, in Australia, in Africa and Egypt, and on. the high seas throughout the -world hear that we, who have to stay home, have rolled up our sleeves, spit on our hands, and made a real effort to do our bit, they will not feel so Bitter when they hear of high wages, strikes, and easy living_.in the United States. They will feel that \all this is\ worth fighting for.” Let’s show them that their sacrifices have not been in vain! LET’S GO, PALMYRA! Sampson Cannoa Not To Be Scrapped At the regular meeting Monday night of James R. Hickey Post, No. 120, American Legion, they pass ed a resolution against the scrap- • ping of the Sampson cannon due to its historical connection with Palmyra as the birthplace of Ad miral William T.

County Salvage Leaders Meet Wayne County Leaders ip the salvage campaign met in Newark Monday night to confer on final plans for the nationwide scrap salvage drive beginning today. Ac cording to the reports made by some villages in the county who have already begun their drive, the people are providing excellent cooperation, and their scrap piles are growing rapidly. In Marion, for example, over 340 tons of metal have been collected with the drive only partially finished. This represents an average of over 300 pounds per person,, which accord ing to Mr. Neil Murphy, business manager of the Rochester Demo crat and Chronicle, is a higher av erage than reported by any town in the nation so far. Mr. Murphy explained the working plans for the drive and recounted a few interesting details of large scrap hauls in various va cant buildings in Rochester and elsewhere. One Rochester build ing furnished 30 tons of metal, an unused factory over 400 tons. Mr. Prank Beneway, Wayne County Salvage Chairman, re viewed the background of the cam paign, and introduced Mr. Win Tyler who explained the part the W a r Volunteer Office, schools, 4-H Clubs, Boy Scouts and other or ganizations play in the work being done. Mr. L; B. Skefflngton, Ag riculture columnist, covered the role of the farmer, and stressed the fact that a large proportion of scrap n\etals lies oh the farms. .Work sheets, questionnaires, post ers, and workers’ badges, all fur nished by the .Democrat and Times Union, were- distributed and their use explained. -Tiróse attending from Palmyra were: Alvin LaRue—General Chair man Sanford Young—Chairman of Board of Directors Mrs. Gladys Brokaw Mrs. Jay Whittaker Abe Cleason J.
