Milford School saving labels

Students at Milford School are currently conducting a label collection drive that promises to deliver valuable educational equipment. As part of a program called Labels for Education, Campbell Soup Company is offering free equipment to schools in exchange for labels from the company’s products. According to the coordinator, Charles Packer, schools may redeem the labels for free audio/visual equipment, athletic equipment, reference books and teaching aids. “We hope to collect 40,000 labels before this year’s drive ends on March 1, 1991,” said Mr. Packer. “That’s how many we’ll need for the new VCR equipment. Although the drive ends on March 1, soup labels will be accepted year round.” Labels from all Campbell’s soups, beans and fresh produce products, Campbell’s Juice Bowl juices, all Prego spaghetti sauces, Campbell’s tomato juice, V 8 vegetable juices, all Franco American products, and Swanson canned food products are all redeemable. Also, proof of purchase seals from Swanson frozen food products and the “Quality Pledge Panels” from Mrs. Paul’s frozen foods are being collected. The lids from Vlasic pickle products and the proof of purchase seals (UPC symbols) from Campbell’s Quality Soup and Recipe Mix, Campbell’s Souper Combos, and Pepperidge Farm cookies, crackers, bakery and frozen food, Not safe Riding in the bed of a pickup or other truck is a good way to pick up a broken bone or worse, says the United States Department of Transportation.
