Helena (U.P.) - Discontinuance in the collection of scrap rubber, tin cans, light sheet and automobile body scrap in Montana has been announced by state salvage chairman William E. Rae of Havre.
"Though the efforts of salvage committees throughout the country, the supply of scrap rubber has become sufficient," Rae said, and advised committees that no effort should be made for further collections. Rae pointed out that supplies of virgin and synthetic rubber are still inadequate, however.
Collections of tin cans, light sheet and automobile body scrap will be discontinued due to the transportation problem in Montana, he said, but "present stockpiles are being moved into production channels as fast as possible."
Montanans must concentrate their scrap collection efforts on heavy iron and steel, copper, brass and bronze, as well as kitchen fats and milk and nylon hosiery, he said.
