Community Organizing

Group Collecting Tin Cans

August 1971

Have you been flattening and saving tin cans and don’t know what to do with them?

The children in the 5700, 5800, and 5900 blocks of Pershing are collecting tin cans as a community service and to help finance a field trip they want to take. If you have cans on hand a telephone call to Mrs. Jane Davis at Vo 2-5122 will bring a pick-up.

All types of cans are acceptable, but they should be washed, free of labels, and both ends removed so that the can can be flattened. Here’s a chance to help the environment and some children who have a good project going.
