Efforts have been made In the various communities to get other organizations operating in the scrap drive, but lack of proper facilities for handling, weighing and purchasing the metal have made most of the efforts fruitless. Latest approximate figures of the metal gathered In Duchesne Mr. county were submitted by Walker Thursday, and show 581,-00- 0 pounds In the two stock plies In Roosevelt and Duchesne. These piles, along with one in Vernal have been sold to a Salt Lake City junk dealer, and future collections will be put into new piles, he said.

There are other small piles In each of the communities, which have been gathered but there is no check of the weight in them, Mr. Walker says, so they have not been turned over to WPA and there is no other organization to handle them.
