Production Battle

Negro workers long employed in
strtegic occupations and industries
and others entering the war plants
for the first time were urged this
week to assume fundamental respon-
sibilities in Americas battle for pro-

DR.. Robert G. Weaver, Chief of the

power Commission, in an address be-
fore rally at the National Smelling
Company in Cleveland, o., on Satur-
day, October 10. Citing specific ga
ms made by Negro workers in war
production employment in recent mon
tbs, DR.. Weaver declared:
Regardless of current practices
and in spite of existing attitudes,
Negroes will be used in many occu-
pations in the months to come, they
will be employed because they are
needed and a nation at war must
avail itself of their service. Those of
you who have been employed in stra-
tegic occupations and industries in
the past no less than those who enter
new places in the future have two
fundamental responsibilities. The first
and most important, is your respon-
sibility as American citizeis to do
your best to win this war. The Sec
ond is to illustrate by your efficiency
by your work habits and by your gen.
eral conduct that the colored work
er, when given an opportunity is eff

Door to Door Scrap
Drive To Stare Oct. 10

October 10. the Jackson Salvage for
Victory Committee has announced
This committee, cooperating with the
Citizens Service Corps will make
a door to door scrap collection drive
to bring the scrap quota of metal,
rubber and rags up. The tin can Sal
wage Drive and the Key Campaign
will operate as separat units
Salvage soap IS SO vital a pare
of the war effort that plants trrn-
ing out guns and tanks and sn. %. are
absolutely dependent OIL this source
of metal for their operations, says
the salvage COMMITTEES, in urging ev-
cry home to yield its share of scrap
for victory. This is one contribution
they declared that no citizen can de-
ny his country.
WHAT is SCRAP?
Junk. Unless broken, discarded. AS
individuals we don't need it. AS a
Nation we do need it SO desperately
that our dstiny may hang on the
speed with which we get it in On
the seven seas and in foreign lands
men are fighting and dying 60 pre-
serve our way of life. Can we let
them down? You know the answer
WE WILL LNOT!
Some scrap materials are Scrap T.
ron and steel, rubber tin, copper bra
SIS lead zinc, aluminium, burlap man
liza rope rags waste fats andgreaeses
Tin cans and waste paper in some
sections.
WHERE TO LOOK FOR SCRAP
Like gold, scrap is where you find
it, and there is scarcely single
home, farm or place of business that
will not yield sizeable amount.
In the home may be found: Beds,
made of metal, Electric cords that
con tain copper wire. Electric toas-
tiers, iron, heaters, fans, etc. Door
knobs hinges, keys, locks, trim spr-
ings, old knives, pans, pots and scis-
sors
Lamps and metal lighting fixtures
metal ash trays bowls, statutes, va
ses, metal porch and garden furni-
ture; Radios broken parts made of
metal; old coal stoves, furnace par
is, Radiators, plumbing fixtures, re-
frigerators, steam boilers, old tools
water heaters etc.
HOW EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS
One copper kettle yields enough
copper for "a rounds of automatic
rifle ammunition.
One old car battery supplies enou-
gh lead needed in tire inch anti
aircraft gums.
On old bucket will make three ba-
yontees.
One single bicycle tire and tube will
give rubber enough for the insula-
ton Of six army radio sets.
Two pounds of kitchen fats makecs
enough glycerine to fire five anti-tank
shells.
The aluminium in washing mach
inc viii build II four pound incen-
diary bombs.
One old shovel viii help make
four rnand grenades.
An .old pillow furnishes enough
