Camden ia responding nobly to the call for salvage fat but is falling down on Un and waste paper, it was stated by the salvage committee this week. The fine showing in the fat collec tion program ts due largely to the efforts of Frank Shebeen and the co operation that Is being manifest by a majority of the grocery stores tn^ markets of the city. In the past two weeks 8400 pounds of waste fat have been taken to (>> lumbla and of this amount 1800 pounds were taken In the past two week*. The tin collection amounted to about 8200 pounds in two months which ia a low figure. 'The waste paper collection was only a bit over a hundred pounds. Chairman Cooley Glllia of the Salv age committee, urges the public to awaken to the necessity of turning in more tin and waste paper, commodi ties that the government sorely needs. He has announced another house to house collection of tin and waste paper for Tuesday, March 14, and hopes that the honaewivee will rw> spend to thla appeal by placing their tins and bundles of papers on tha curbing for the city trucks to pick up. People who wish to dispose of their collection of tin and waste paper be fore the qlty-wldft collertlon may leave same at any of the filling sta tions in the city.
