Salvage Sale
The White House Renovation Commission announced its plans for disposing of the historic debris salvaged from the rebuilding job. Beginning next month, souvenir hunters may order a whole list of mementos by mail. Samples: 25-c- for a piece of hand-split lath; $100 for enough bricks to face an ordinary fireplace. In addition, the commission was preparing special souvenir kits containing chunks of wood suitable for gavel-making or a handmade nail and a piece of stone which could be set in plastic for a paperweight. Each item will be accompanied by a metal tag certifying that it is a true piece of the White House.
