O. & M. BUILDING ROOM 112 SPONSORED BY ASSOC. OF BAPTIST STUDENTS Drink up and help save an old train depot United Press International FARBER, Mo. — A 104-year-old train depot will be converted into a museum as soon as townspeople can collect 1 million beer and soda cans. The 470 citizens of Farber, hop ing to preserve the past, have com pleted about 20 percent of a massive recycling project. Mayor Don Crow says the goal of 1 million aluminum cans will bring in $7,000 to aid in the depot’s restoration. The campaign began nearly a year ago and the town has collected and crushed 200,000 cans. “I’m very optimistic about the project,” Crow said. T in not a per son that likes to wait. We ll reach our goal, I just can’t say when.’’ In 1972, the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad sold the depot to Farber for $1, but the railroad refused to take the dollar. In return, the town moved the depot from the railroad’s rightof-way to a city park 60 feet away. For six years, city fathers tried to find ways to raise the money for the restoration project. But none of the previous projects earned enough money. Crow is confident the can collection will do it. Farber already has spent $5,000 on the depot. Money from dona tions and a federal grant of $3,750 was used to move the depot and re place its roof. Restaurants, taverns, stores, ser vice stations and truck stops in the area are storing their empty aluminum cans for recycling. A nearby drive-in theater became in terested in the plan and provided an area where movie-goers could toss their cans. Wald o Roberts, a longtime Farber resident, considers the aluminum can collection a wonder- fid idea and said, “At home we have a separate trash can for any aluminum we can find." “We re not picky about what form the aluminum comes in,” Crow said. “The women have been saving pie pans and foil. Every little bit helps. We’ve had people from as far away as California send us dona tions. ” Crushed cans are stuffed into trash bags and piled high in the gar age of the city maintenance build ing. In June, Reynolds Aluminum Recycling Co. sent a truck to pick up some of the cans. Charles W. Rayfield, regional manager of Reynolds Aluminum Recycling, said of the collection pro ject, “We thought it was a neat idea. The money Farber will get isn’t a lot, but it’s a start in the right direc tion.” what’s up Thursday WATER SKI CLUB: There will he a water ski club meetingtomijl at 7:00 in room 224 of the Memorial Student Center.
