Show tne procedure to be followed in making- scrap metal available for the war effort.' The same situation exists, to a vtot in reerard to efforts fEFFORT SHOULD BE MADE TO COLLECT METAL An estimated three million tons of scrap metal, available for war ues is now laying around American Ameri-can homes and farmyards, although al-though some open hearths and electric furnaces are idle for lack of scrap. Despite much publicity, there has been no organized effort to collect scrap metal in many sections sec-tions of the United States, particularly particu-larly in the smaller towns and cities of the Middle West and South. In many of these places, there are no commercial dealers in scrap metal and, consequently, many citizens are uncertain as to large c-rt-i-w, to salvage scrap paper, fats and other materials. The program developed de-veloped by those in authority may not be ideally devised for metropolitan metro-politan areas, but apparently overlooks over-looks conditions that exist m thousands of small cities and towns in the country. With all the talk about the Pacific, Pa-cific, where Japan is "raising hell while the sun shines," the vital theatres of the present global struggle are the North Atlantic, the British Isles, the Near East, and Soviet Russia. |
