Can Collection
Set for Monday
Monday. May 14. has been set for
an emergency tin can collection,
according to Leslie A. Doan, Tren
ton village engineer and chairman
of the village s salvage committee.
The use of tin for all war pur
poses has made serious inroads on
our national stockpile of tin. Mean
while, imports of tin continue to
drop and the war requirements in
crease.
Doan urges all residents to start
saving tin cans now and make May
14 tin can collection the largest
ever conducted in Trenton.
