4 job to DO

wv hat can i do TO help?" has been
the question of every loyal American
since ii became obvious to all that OuI
nation is III danger as the result OF
Hitler's campaign Of conquest. The de-
SIRE To be Of help is universal, but thus
tar there have not been many OppOr-
tunfties for everyone to make a direct
contribution TO national defense
Many families, il is true, have sent
their SOILS 10 the army Or navy; those
families, and those boys are making a
real contribution. But the vast major
ity of us have been waiting for a
chance to (RO something.
Now We ali have chance TO lend

On July n and -, scrap aluminium
will be collected i'll every community
III the United States to help overcome
the temporary shortage of the metal
which is interfering with defense pro-
ductIOn. The Office of Production Man

aluminium article III the country be
tossed on the scrap pile in the hope
that enough aluminium will be collected

rseedtd fighter planes. People are be-
ing asked Ia give only those things
which can be spaled and need not be
replaced. such as leaky pots and pans.
Garded pancake griddles, picture
frames, old radio parts, and the like
Such articles are gathering dust and
cluttering up pantry shelves in every
home i'll the country. They are needed
now for national defense.
We have the word of the OPM that
no one will profit from the tranSac
ton. and ule reputation of those lead
ing, the campaign is guarantee of its
validity.
To reach the national goal of 10000
600 pounds of scrap aluminium, every
person in the United States must give
all he can. Start wedding out all the
useless aluminium articles i'll your home
