All Stores W ill Be Closed All Day. Employers and Their Employes Are Urged To Participate In In This Patriotic Effort. U. S. Needs Your Old Metal WHAT is Needed WHY I’ts Needed WHERE To Put Scrap Uncle Sam’s war factories need your help to keep up full-blast production. Our all-out war effort is demanding millions of scrap metals and other materials to keep our war machine running. Why? Because roughly 50 per cent of scrap iron and steel is required to make the steel that goes into every tank and gun for our armed forces. That's why scrap collection is a vital national necessity-and you can help make the scrap harvest a resounding Scrap iron and steel, other metals, scrap rubber, collapsible tin tubes, waste cooking fats, old manila rope, burlap is needed and must be collected in every part of the coun try. That means your old appliances, plum bing pipe, ash cans and many other unser viceable metal items plus old hot water bottles, garden hose, tires, boots, rags, cast off clothing can be turned into guns, planes tanks, ships and dozens of other vital war items if you’ll “put them in production’’. Go over your house and yard with a fine tooth comb. Get your scrap into the fight. The facts are simple. Scrap iron and steel are vital to the production of new steel articles. Scrap rubber can be reproc essed in to new articles to aid the war ef fort. Other scrap materials are similarly used and also help meet the needs arising from the stoppage of imports due to the war. For, example, America no' longer can import rubber from Malaya, hemp from Manila. The fabulous imports from the Dutch Indies are temporarily beyond our grasp, but all of these things are vital to our war effort so everyone from the president down must.save, salvage and turn in all of the scrap he possibly can. Time is short and the need is urgent. Search every nook and corner where even an ounce of scrap might be found. If you wish to donate your scrap, pile it at your driveway or other convenient place and men in trucks will haul it away. If you wish to sell it, take it yourself to the Sessler wrecking yard, the official salvage depot, on west Main street. If no one is stationed at the depot at the time telephone the high school and a boy will be sent to take care of your needs. success.
