Paper Collection Dispute Over Waste Paper Drive
The Raleigh Register reports a dispute over Boy Scout waste paper collection used to aid defense needs and the Red Cross. Scout Executive James Herring defends the program as patriotic work, while Jack Nuckols accuses it of profiteering and monopolizing paper drives. Nuckols’ statement outlines alleged mismanagement and pressure on Beckley households, with officials noting the campaign dates back to September 1941 under Leon Henderson.

Paper drive supports Red Cross Emergency fund
People who spoke with me and those who called me on the phone feel they contributed to the Boy Scouts by being included in the Community Chest. The paper placed on porches Saturday is to be sold to a junk dealer with all money turned over to the Red Cross Emergency fund. I will do everything in my power to ensure this paper reaches its destination. Respectfully submitted, Jack A. Nuckols.
