Aluminum drive plans launched by Bristol Defense Council
In accordance with State Defense Council plans, a small central committee will collect aluminum in Bristol starting July 21. The Bristol Defense Committee met at Kearney Post headquarters to appoint Town Council President J Floyd Huestis, Elmer McNamara, Mrs. William H. Gablinske, Mrs. Clara Diman, George R. Fish, and a designated Catholic Youth Organization member, plus others. The group will meet Monday evening to outline procedures, while the Town Council debates whether to assume control of the Legion Post's local defense panel. General L H Callan urged swift planning and emphasized collecting existing aluminum rather than buying new items.
