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.
