Show Army Requests Scrap Drive For West Millard Present Scran Piles Arc to Be Moved Within a Short Time; New Drive Planned Wed-iesdn.v Capt. W. I.. Slrafton, Lieut. H. H. Palmer and Mr. F. D. Brown, of the salvage division of WPB. conferred in Deita with local salvage committeemen urging them !o move the present scrap piles and to start another drive for scrap. The need of this scrap was stressed by these men because of the Geneva plant opening up and demanding huge supplies of all types of scrap metals. At present there are three large scrap piles; at George Mayer's, dutch's and on the railroad spur, and it was the opinion of the local lo-cal committeemen, that a successful success-ful drive could not be carried out as long as these piles remained here. It was brought out by the visiting vis-iting men that these piles were to be moved within a short time and sent to Geneva. Railroad cais will be sent in and all effects made to utilize this scran while a drhV or more is in making. The coming drive is tentatively planned to take place in about 3 weeks. The army will furnish eight to teij heavy trucks as well as a crane to load and haul the scrap to bring it into the cars at Delta. . County trucks will be used to make small stock piles from the scrap on each eight or so farms, and then these stock piles will be picked up by the army trucks and brought on into the railroad. The army trucks will begin a statewide drive to aid the various communities starling at Tooele and moving south from there. The Tooele drive is scheduled in the very near future and as each community com-munity drive is completed these trucks will be available to the next. As was done in the drives in the past the West Millard chairman, C. M. Pace, asks that those who have scrap start listing it with him at the earliest convenience so that the county trucks may start making mak-ing the small scrap piles in readiness readi-ness for the army trucks. Besides C. M. Pace, Therol Larsen, Golden H. Black and Harold Morris are on this scrap committee. |
