Mayor Harry Cain and John Jacobs, Business Agent for Teamster's Union 313, look at map of Seattle/Tacoma area during a meeting at the Mayor's office in (Old) City Hall. They are planning the upcoming salvage drive for November 1st. On that date, 600 union volunteers, with trucks borrowed from their employers, will pick up scrap piled on the curb in front of private homes. The yield from this type of collection was expected to exceed that of earlier scrap drives.
