SCRAP'BUTZ' TO
START AUG. If*
An intensified statewide scrap;
“blitz” will begin Monday, Aug-!
ust 16, and continue for 30 days
with members of the 47th Quar
termaster Truck regiment at
Font Harrison removing the 10,-
000 to 25,000 tons of scrap now
spread about the state.
This wholesale removal of sal
vage includes stockpiles in cit
ies and towns, in national parks,
on reclamation projects and In
dian reservations, in industrial
plants, at abandoned mines and
on the farms. All salvage w£l
be moved to scrap yard depots.
The truck regiment, which is
doing the job for practical train
ing, will dismantle and haul the
scrap, relieving industrial plants
of these costs.
“The movement of scrap is of
first importance and must be
completed before cold weather
sets in," Markham said. “No oth
er agency is capable in manpow
er and equipment .to do the job
in 30 days. No other method
could be concocted that can ap
proach the efficiency of the plan
to be put into operation. It is
in reality, the equivalent of a
SIOO,OOO trucking and loading
job,” he concluded.

Attention of property owners
is called to the low branches of
trees that over-hang the side
walks in many sections of the
city. These branches should be
cut away to eliminate both dan
ger and inconvenience to pedes
trians. Along some streets the
branches are so low that in or
der to use the walks adults must
progress an a crouching position,
under the branches. Children,
running along the walks hold to
the low branches and then let
them slap back into the face of:
their companions. Diis is fun for
the youngsters but it is also
dangerous and could very easily
be the cause of putting a child'*
eye out.
Last year the city employees
undertook to cut away these low
branches but many property
owners resented the idea of out
siders trimming their trees, so
an appeal is issued to all prop
erty otv^ers to do the job them
selves, but the danger arid in
convenience must be eliminated,
it is expected that all will co
operate.
