Collection of Scrap Metal There is a conceited drive on at the present time to raise money for the Third Victory Loan. It is gratify- ing to know that this campaign 15 meeting with success. TMs money is very necessary to keep our Armed Forces supplied. The necessity to have all Scrap Iron and Steel collected' is just as vital as the collecting of money, for without, this material, the necessary war machinery cannot be manufact- ured. The Steel Controller, realizing that tons of scrap are lying around throughout the entire Dominion, passed an order making it an offence to retain more than 500 lbs. The Wardens of each County have been named as representative of the Steel Controller and he in turn has delegated the Reeves as his repres- entative in each, Municipality. A cam- paign for the collection of Scrap Iron and Steel will be started on Novem- ber 1st and must be removed from the premises of every person by De- cember 15th. The person having Scrap Iron and Steel has the privilege of disposing of it in whatever manner he sees fit, either by sale or donating it to some War Service organization but in any event he must not retain more than 500 lbs. The Warden and his Com- mittees have the power to enforce this law. The need for scrap is urg- ent and it is the intention of the Controller to have it collected. Each municipality will be organ- ized for the collection of Salvage under the Reeve and his Council, and it is the duty of every citizen to co- operate to the fullest extent.Citizens are requested to contact the Reeve or a member of his council for details of their particular campaign. The County of Huron has an envia- ble name in patriotic endeavor and they will rise to the occasion in this matter as in other campaigns. Young Cattle Sell Fast — Historry is being made on the farm these days, with auction sale of live- stock holding the spotlight. Real cash, and lots of it, is changing hands. Reg. McGee held such a sale at his model farm in Colborne town- ship on Friday afternoon and even a heavy rain failed to keep the crowd down. Bidding was brisk and auctr ioneer Tom Gundry knocked down about sixty head of young cattle, up to two years, in a couple of hours. Prices ranged up to 580 and prices averaged nearly ten cents a pound live weight, which fall very little short of the marketable beef price. Of course a rise in price is already assured and farmers are looking for an even greater increase. Roy Link - later was a heavy purchaser at the McGee sale. Some of the greatest herds of beef cattle ever known on North Huron farms are now to he Notice Under a recent order of the Steel Controller SC - 7 6, it is now an offence to retain more than 500 lbs. of Scrap Iron or Steel.
