Army Saving By Salvage Highlighted At Kiwanis
Maj. David D. Field of Ohio University ROTC told Kiwanis at Hotel Berry that the U S Army saved over nine and a half billion dollars through salvage operations in Korea and during postwar rebuilding. He cited 70 percent of weapons and 84 percent of machinery from salvage up to 1952 and outlined three main economy efforts including food conservation salvage and better equipment design. Field noted a six million dollar gain from civilian and military suggestions while a forthcoming cold weather uniform would cost about 10 percent of a regular winter outfit. Kiwanis members gave 33 dollars to the Chillicothe Veterans Hospital Christmas fund and Prof E T Hellebrandt received a four year perfect attendance tag.
