agents giyen to Donald B. Holbrook,
Chairman," of the County Committee,
to go to Farwell. Of the $7,442.25 sold

A letter has been received from the
state office complimenting the citizens of our county on their splendid
showing made in September in. purchasing War Bonds permitting our

The scrap collection committee for
Clare County met Wednesday with the
USDA War Board at Harrison and appointed County Agent P. D. Gibson to
succeed J. A. Clute as Chairman, Mr.
Clute having resigned. Bruce Williams
remains as a War Board member of
the Committee and Mr. Orlie Zeis, of
Mt. Pleasant; Block man for International Harvester Company, has been
assigned to Clare county by WPB to
assist in the scrap iron collection for
the month of October. Each township
War Club Chairman has been appoint-
, to membership on the salvage commit-
.tee by the Chairman.
. Meetings have been held with the
War Club leaders to present a plan of
action for moving the scrap metal into
dealer channels before November 15th.
Every school in the state is working
'on a scrap drive and are really piling
it up. Parents and friends can help the
school children a great deal through
helping with heavy pieces and giving
tips' on where scrap may be found.
A neighboring county moved over
COO tons of scrap in the spring clean
up and has collected over 700 tons
, more   in   the   present   drive,     Clare

' lion' tons rteeded is 260 tons.    This

of discarded farm machinery can be

be of much greater use in the melting
pots than rusting down back of the
barn.
Clare County Schools Are
"In The Scrap"
A visit to several Clare county
schools last week revealed the fact
that our school children are gathering
in the scrap metal and rubber, cooperating with the Wax- Production
Board 100 per cent.
At Farwell there are almost no
privates left to do the lowly chores a
private is supposed to do. Sergeants,
Lieutenants, Generals and Majors are
being made and promoted to higher
rank so fast that teachers are having
difficulty keeping the record -straight.
At Sherman's junk yard little piles and
big piles of scrap iron are* evidence of
individual drives on the home scrap
piles.
At Clare the military angle was left
out at the desire of the pupils committee. They just want to pitch scrap.
The pile in the rear, of the building is
ample evidence that there is a real
scrap drive on. An estimated fifteen
tons was just a bud of what is to
come.
