Show Second Drive For Scrap Brings In A Hundred Tons Armistice Day, Wednesday, Nov. Llth was observed at Mt. Pleasant this year in a most fitting fit-ting manner and in keeping with the spirit of the times. Instead of having a patriotic program for an armistice which as been thrown to the four winds the people gathered 25 trucks and started shortly after one o'clock p. m. for a Scrap iron drive for Victory. This was the second drive for scrap at Mount Pleasant. Men and boys, mostly students from the high school, took the job seriously and gathered scrap at every nook and corner. Some trucks brought in 7 loads. From Mountainville, the Rounds Hills, to the Farms west of town to Art Frandsen's place the scrap was brought in, the last trip being brought after sundown. When the day's work was done some members of the committee estimated that more than one hundrede tons were brought in to the assembling grounds at the high school. This with what had been brought in before should be about one hundred and seventy-five seventy-five tons according to estimates made without the actual weighing weigh-ing taken place. Mt. Pleasant's spirits are high for a victory this time, and not an Armistice. |
