Wearing ribbons and buttons to signify their identity, the children will attempt to find every bit of scrap available in this city. Their job will be to- locate the scrap, not to collect it or carry it away.
 Cards will be left with the house. holders to be filled out, stating whether the scrap can be removed during the regular collection, or that it is so heavy that large rtucks or extra manpower is needed. The Junior Commandos will start their drive to locate the metal on Oct. 5.
 Representatives of public, paro- chial and private schools will meet this afternoon at Crosby high school with Dr. Thomas J. Condon, su- perintendent of schools, are Ray mond J. Tanning. director of the drive, to make final arrangements for the Commandos.
