Scrap Drive Goal Set At 7 875 Tons
All Lancaster county farmers are asked to assist in the salvage program to produce the necessary scrap metal for the war effort. A letter from Earl F. Redman, chairman of the Salvage and Conservation of Waste Material Committee to Wayne B. Ranch, salvage chairman of this district, urges participation. The smallest school has a chance to win a pennant in each township for pupils who gather the most farm scrap per capita. Chairman Planck predicts his district will lead again with revised first year figures.
