Pioneer Social
The Card party series, spon
sored by the local Pioneer or- j
ganization, comes at a most ap
proprate time in this community.
Especially this winter when we
over-indulge in the grim topic of
war, war, etc. It will be good for
people to meet on such occasions
and exchange opinions on other
matters. The people of Nome
went through the days of the;
“blackout" and cooperated one
hundred percent. They will do
so again if the occasion warrants
it. But in the meantime we
should take advantage of what
ever opportunities are afforded
US to get as much wholesome re
creation as possible, so that we
will be stronger mentally and
physically to meet any unfore
seen emergency.
The Pioneer card parties have
always been well patronized in
this community. They have serv
ed a us( ful purpose in the social
life of the town. There is really
more to attending a Pioneer card
party than just playing cards,
partaking of refreshments and
maybe winning a prize. There is
something else. Inexplainable
perhaps. But nevertheless it is
there. You meet your friends;
you wil Mind them sociable, af
fable, relaxed. They want to
meet you and you realize how
much it means to you to meet
them.

ing funds for 23,000 com
bat planes and 10,000 train

Tin (gins Wasted
It is surprising that with all the drives for salvaging
of all kinds of waste and refuse, the problem of sal
vaging the tin and steel contained in tin cans is s arce
ly mentioned and about 1.00.000 tons of steel and
15,000 tons of tin are being thrown away on rubbish
piles or incinerated.
Germany alone, of all the countries in the world,
recovers tin from cans on a nation-wide scale; even in
the times of peace such recovery was a flourishing in
dustry in Germany. They even went to England to get
the scrap; the British collected tin cans for Germany
cleaned and briquetted them to German specifications
One of the plants, in Essen, had a capacity of detinning
about 80,000 tons of such briquettes. Since the war
began, a number of centrally located detinning plants
were erected, and no product packaged in tin or plate
is being sold in Germany unless the empty containers
are returned.
Tin cans are one of most troublesome constituents of
municipal refuse. On dumps they present a menace to
public health; during the hot season, filled with rain
water, they make breeding places for mosquitos and
other insects. The food left along the walls and on the
bottom of cans attract rats and insects. As the cans
rust, they increase the settlement of the fill.
Consumption Heavy
The United States uses about two and a hall million
tons of metal for production of tin plate, of which about
thirty to thirty-five thousand tons consist of tin, an
imported metal. During normol periods this import
ation does not represent an astonishing figure, but
during the war, when almost all the world’s production
of tin ore, as well as of the primary tin, is located in
zones of military action, the recovery of tin woud even
tually represent for this country a necessity & actuality
The statistical year book 1939, edited by the Inter
national Tin Research and Development Council, states
that “tin plate consumption in the United States has
amounted to 40-50 percent of the total world con
sumption in recent years. Since more than 50 percent
of total quantity of tin plate consumed in the United
States is used for canning, the canning industry in that
country uses about 25 percent of the total world out
put of the tin plate.”
From these figures it is not difficult to conclude that
our country during the war will spend 30 to 40 million
dollars on tin for cans which go to the rubbish p ie.
In addition, we have to consider the value of lost
steel consumed for production of tin plate. The 1939
statistical report of the American Iron and Steel In
stitute shows that the production of tin plate aver
ages 2,000.000 tons a year.
Salvage Profitable
The Washington Suburban Sanitary C nun;.-ion at
HyaltsviJle, Md. started the salvage of tin c ns mak
ing a profit of $7 a ton. The district collects about two
and a half tons a day presses tl cm in 35-pounJ bundle,.
and sells them to chemical works for $9 a ton.
This could be extended to other larger municipalit o
and be increased. Such organization should be as profit
able as in Hyattsville.
