4 Stewart Heads Firemen’s First Paper Drive One job well done calls for another, that is why the Mill City Volunteer Firemen have chosen a fellow fireman, genial Bill Stewart, as chairman of their first paper drive. Sunday, July 29. Stewart played a heavy role in the paper drive tied to the lighted athletic field campaign carried out recently by Mill City high school students. In the same manner that the Mill City Volunteer Firemen cleaned up the W. W. Allen athletic field after the “bang-up” Fourth of July festiv ities, they now hope the Mill City area can be ridded of waste-paper. Stewart is chairman of the Mill City Firemen’s waste-paper committee committed for action leading up to and during the Firemen’s first paper drive, Sunday, July 29. Stewart’s co partners are Burnett Cole and Arey Podrabsky. Chairman Stewart announced today that unusually large quantities of waste-paper, which is now properly bundled for easy handling, will be picked up right away if the donor will notify a volunteer fireman. The waste-paper committee indi cated that the proceeds raised by the Mill City Volunteer Fireman’s paper drive will help push towards comple tion the Mill City Fire Hall. Those who have had the pleasure of enjoy ing the community recreation center that the Mill City Fire Hall now re presents need not be told how the Volunteers are using their spare cash. Ample advance notice is being given in order that townspeople may separat.e sort out, and bundle their old newspapers, magazines, etc. in plenty of time for the grand pick-up date, Sunday, July 29.
