Show DRIVE. DRIVE. DRIVE! Announcements are released this week through the various newspapers and radio services of the new scrap drive. It seems that we are in one of those things all the time, and perhaps many ot us get tired of hear-j ing or reading about them. Just now we are finishing: the third bond drive wherein there is more money' being loaned to the government than has ever been loaned before. And before that is finished we are: thrown into a second or third or fourth salvage drive i in which we are asked to carefully search through our posessions for scrap that can be thrown into the huge piles of needed metal for the war effort. At the close of the last salvage drive there were several huge piles of scrap in various parts of the county. These piles remained there for a long time and people began to comment upon it, asking themselves the question "why did they collect this and then leave it here undelivered?" We are told that the smelters who process the scrap can use only so much at a time - and they do not have storage-space for the vast amount that is gathered, then too it is not always possible to get railroad cars immediately after the collection is i made. The value of the drive is to get the scrap in an accessable place so that as soon as it is needed at the smelters and as soon as transportation is available it will be in readiness. We exhort the people of Cache valley to cooperate with those in charge and suggest that all search their j premises for the metal so sorely needed for the war effort. If you think you can get along without that piece of machinery or broken part take it to the designated collection spot. .' |
