Show Paper Salvage Drive Will Benefit Local Groups, Flag Society Beginning now and continuing until May 6 when the campaign ends, Bingham residents are asked to save every scrap of waste paper, needed to fill a freight car which will be left in lower Bingham from May 2-6. The nation needs two million extra tons of paper this year for continued manufacture of paper board containers for overseas shipment and domestic use. Bingham district will receive payment for the shipment $12 per ton for magazines and $10 per ton for paper. Collections will be made to benefit the Vic- tory Flag Society s war memorial mem-orial fund, .the Bingham Boy Scouts, the Cub Scouts and the schools. Boy Scouts, under leadership of Leonard Miller, and Cub Scouts, directed by George T, Parkinson, will make their own collections, weigh, tie and deliver thewaste paper to the cars. Schools have made collection of the paper which they are turning turn-ing in. Copperton grade school, which plans to use part of the return from the drive for athletic equipment, intends to give a share of the funds received to Victory Flag Society, which is making a duration drive to gather gath-er enough money to erect a memorial mem-orial to the men from Bingham now in service of their country. Anyone who wishes the paper they collect to benefit the Victory Vic-tory Flag society should notify the Minute Women's chairman in their district. She will advise where to place the paper so that it will be collected by the city truck and hauled to the freight car. Members of the Bingham Boys' club, under direction of Ken Shulsen, will assist in collecting paper for benefit of the Victory Flag societv. Minute Women to call for information in-formation are: Mrs. J. Dewey Knudsen, Mrs. Mike Brisk, Mrs. Nick P. Floros, Mrs. Clair R. Mathis, Mrs. C. N. Granning and Mrs. B. J. Thurmond.
