ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The H SCRAP

- HE worlds biggest army
made up of the school kids
of America-takes the field
tomorrow TO join in the fight
against the Axis.
Forty million strong, the
youngsters have been organized
along military lines as the spear
head for a nationwide scrap sal
wage drive.
Under the sponsorship OF the
Conservation Division Of the War
Production Board, -AmeFiea,s
Junior Army" is out to round
up every bit of Wtally-needed
scrap that can be found.
The kids, working through their
schools, will swoop down on
homes in every city, town and
hamlet in the country to gather
old iron, steel, rubber, copper,
bronze, aluminium. zinc, lead and
rags.
Federal officials expect that
millions Of tons of scrap, needed
to keep American steel mills and
munition plants going full blast,
will be gathered in the October
5-19 drive.
The nationwide campaign has
been organized by States-and
the State heads of the school sys-
TENS have been named Command
ing Generals of the Junior Army.
County and city school super
intendents have been designated
colonies, and school principals
have been named majors. Teach
ers are captains. while the kids
are ranked from lieutenants down
to privates.
During the past few weeks,
members of the Junior Army
have been given their instruc-
tions, and towns and cities have
been divided into special gather
ing zones.
Every member of this gigantic
army has written three letters.
one to his parents and one to
each of his next-door neighbors,
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-10-04

explaining in his own words the
purpose of the drive, the need for
scrap and it's war uses, and how
to assemble 1t so the youngsters
can pick it up.
Small items of scrap will be
carried away by the kids them
selves Larger pieces will be
listed by the children on special
form sheets, and trucks will call'
for this stuff. The principal of
each school has been instructed
to arrange for the transportation
Of the collected material TO the
scrap yard.
The children have been in
structed to report to their cap
tains all abandoned bridges, saw
mills, cotton gins, and other
sources of iron and steel which
they cannot collect themselves.
Householders have the option
Of giving the material away, or
being paid for it. In the latter
case, the pupils have been in
structed to make a list of the
material offered for sale. This
will be turned over to the teach
er-captain who will see that il is
forwarded to the County Salvage
Chairman for record and follow
up.
In some States, members of
the Junior Army are on the pay
roll. Proceeds from the sale of
the salvage materials go back to
the kids in war stamps or bonds.
In other States, the proceeds are
turned over to the school to buy
athletic equipment or other use.
full things. In most cases, the
distribution of the money has
been left up to a vote of the
children.
Where possible, scales have
been set up in the school yards
in order that the Junior Army
members can keep a continuous
check on their progress. While
some of the pupils round up ma
terial. others sort it at the school
iron and steel in one pile, rub
Der in another heap, rags in
another, and so on.
To help the youngsters in this
gigantic national salvage pro-
gram, in the words of Govern
ment officials sponsoring the
campaign, provides the greatest
opportunity for every civilian to
back up our soldiers on the firing
line"

The solution, made from a

the material that, although IL
