TIN GAN QUOTA
SET FOR STATE
Harrisburg.-——The War Production
Board has fixed a monthly goal of
10,000,000 pounds in tin can collec-
tions for Pennsylvania—about four
cans for each man, woman and child.
Bodfrey Wetterlow, senior commer-
cial specialist for the WPB in Wash-
ington, D. C., declared after a sur-
vey that Pennsylvania is in the fore- |
front of the drive to recover tin and
steel for war plants,
Cans are now being gathered in
every city of 25,000 or more popula-
tion by a. mandatory WPB order and
Wetterlow said collections would be |
extended this month to reach every
resident in the state. He added that
Pennsylvania would be one of the
first states ‘. take that action,
Chilaren will be asked to bring pro-
perly prepared cans to schools where
they will be picked up by trucks be-
longing to cities, townships, counties
or volunteer workers. Trucks will car-
ry the salvage to 70 depots over the
state which will reroute the cans to
detinning plants.
Praising the state for “exceeding-
ly good collections” to date, Wetter-
