Show Tin Can Drive Is Started In Pleasant Grove The tin can collection program is being made state-wide, including Pleasant Grove, effective March 1, J. Kemp, local salvage chairman, said Monday. Mr. Kemp was advised by B. L. Wood, executive secretary of the state salvage commitee, that grocery groc-ery stores willl act as depositories for the tin cans, with housewives asked to bring in an emply can for each can she buys at the store. Brewers and bottlers, making reiular delivery trips through the state, will pick up the cans, taking them to central shipping points at Provo Ogden and Salt Lake City, Mr. Kemp said. "This is an ideal arrangement" he explained. "It means that cans from this area can be sent to detin-ning detin-ning plants where both tin and iron will be prepared for further use in the war effort. "It is up to the housewives to cooperate now by preparing their tin cans properly and getting them in to their grocer." He said the cans should be clean- ed, the labels removed, top and bottom, cut out, and then pressed flat by stepping on them. This preparation, he asserted, increases capacity of the detinning plants as much as 40 per cent. In addition it saves considerable shipping space. I |
