Camp Adair or the Salem air

Today came a telegraphic
communication from Lieutenant

Calif., saying he had been as

be here July 20 with his wife
and one-year-old son. He gave
the chamber authority to rent
him a 5 or 8-room house, furn

$65. Lieutenant Sellers is just
one of many.

How can you help? The answer is on this page. I hope
every American citizen will read it and act on it.
D. 0. NtlSON. CHAJUMAN, WAS PtOOUCTION IOAIB
A crisis exists in our war production program which can
be solved only by the patriotic cooperation of the
American people.
We are faced with a serious shortage of steel scrap,
Vubber and other vital materials.
This shortage must be filled.
By "scrap" we mean the ordinary Junk which today it
lying in the barnyards and in the gullies of farms; in the
basements, attics and garages of homes and store
throughout the country.
The tteel induttry operate on f he baii of half-and-half
about 50 per cent metal from pig iron and SO
per cent remelted icrap metal.
Therefore, about 50 per cent ot every tank', every
thip, every submarine and every gun it made of terap
iron and $t eel.
The steel industry has been rapidly stepping up its
production from 67,000,000 tons in 1940 to a record
brenking 83,000,000 tons in 1941. Production in 1942
is already ahead of 1941, but we need to get production
up to the industry's full capacity of 90,000,000 tons
total equal to the output of therest of the world combined.
This volume of production cannot be attained or in
creased unless an additional 6,000,000 tons of scrap iron
and steel is obtained promptly
We are faced with the fact that some steel furnaces
have been allowed to cool down and that many of fhem
are operating from day to day and hand to mouth, due
only to the lack of scrap.
The rubber situation is also critical. In spite of the
recent rubber drive, there is a continuing need for large
quantities of scrap rubber.
We are collecting every possible pound of scrap from
the factories, arsenals and shipyards; we are speeding up
the flow of material from automobile graveyards; we
are tearing up abandoned railroad tracks and bridges,
but unless we dig out an additional 6,000,000 tons of
steel and great quantities of rubber, copper, brass, rinc
and tin, our boys may not get all the fighting weapons
they need in time.
Fortunately, the material exists in America's great
t'mine above the ground."
There is enough iron and steel on farms alone, if used
with other materials, to make:
Twice as many battleship as then
arm in the whole world today, or
Enough 2000-pound bombs to drop
three per minute from big bombers
intessantly for more than three years.
Locating and collecting this scrap is going to require a
canvass of every house and every farm. Even one old
ihovel will help make 4 hand grenade.
We have set up the machinery for this, but it is not
perfect. It is a problem that can be licked only by
American resourcef ulness, American organization ability,
American muscle and American will to win.
We now have in every state a State Salvage Committee
of volunteers working directly under the governor. -
Under these state committees we have county com
mittees and local committees. We have special industrial
committees working with executives of plants in 421
industrial centers.
In rural communities we have the County War Boards.
These committees can tell you the quickest way to
get your Junk into action. v
In behalf of the governor and the state committee
we urge every committee to organize itself into a band
of "Salvage Commandos."
You can either sell your scrap to a Junk dealer or you
can give it to a charity, which in turn will sell it to a
Junk dealer who performs an important function by
sorting it, .grading it, packing it and shipping it to the
right place.
We urge, local charitie and civic organisation
to cooperate with the Local Salvage Committee and
devise a plan of action and collection.
We urge the scrap dealer to cooperate as fast as he
can in the collection and shipment of materials.
We urge industrial executive to appoint Salvage
Managers who have both the responsibility and authority
to salvage obsolete machinery, tools and dies.
We urge every farmer and every householder in
America to act at once.
Go over your premises with a fine tooth comb. If you
have already turned in your scrap, look again you'll
probably find more.
If you do not have enough of your own to warrant
someone coming after it. form a neighborhood pool, or
take it yourself to the nearest collection point.
If there is an old heater or boiler in your basement tori
he avy for you to move, get your neighbors to help you.
This is a People's job. It is something you can do with;
out interfering with other war work or personal duties.
It is not enough to pile up a little stuff and expect
somebody to come and get it. Most of the work is being
done by patriotic volunteers with inadequate facilities.
They need your help in collecting scrap material in the
largest possible amounts and in getting it to the right
place.
It i a direct end personal obligation to all of our
boys on ell fronts.
Yoa may think, "My little bit" won't help', bat
your "little bit" multiplied thousands and millions
of times can create a mountain of raw material which
can actually turn the tide.
The situetion i serious. Your help is needed now.
HOW SCRAP IRON AND STEEL GO TO WAR
The steel used in our war machines is made by melting
together
1. Pig iron (about 50)
2. Scrap generated in the steel plant in the'
process of steelmaking (about 2S)
3. Scrap purchased from outside Junk sources
(about 25)
We have plenty of iron ore to make the pig iron needed.
But our furnaces operate faster when there is plenty of scrap
to mix with the pig iron.
This so-called "scrap" which goes Into the furnaces to
make the steel for tanks, ships and guns is actually refined
steel with most impurities removed. Some of the finest
quality steels are made 100 from scrap.
The iron and steel scrap which you collect is bought by!
the steel mills from scrap dealers at established government-!
controlled prices.
