District Housewives,
Are Urged 10 Join
Tin Salvage Program
Canned Food Rutionino
Will Create Need
For More Participants

Washington housewives who
learned over the week end that
canned foods will be rationed in
February were called upon today to
join the tin can salvage program
here and help alleviate a shortage
of canning materials.
When rationing begins, it was
pointed out by Horace Walker, secre-
tary Of the District Salvage Com
mittee, there will be less cans for
salvage purposes, but he said, lit
only means that we must have more
housewives participating in the pro-
gram"
The housewife, he said, can aid in
the conservation of tin and steel by
salvaging every tin can she uses.
Eventually this will reflect itself
in the canned-food channels with a
more abundant supply, Mr.. Walker
said.
Below Expectations
Mr.. Walker acknowledged that the
present program was far below eX-
pectations. He pointed out that 300
tons of tin cans were used here each
month, but that since the salvage
began November 6, only 100000
pounds of prepared cans have been
shipped to defining plants.
The United States is wasting 10
tons of tin and 1000 tons of No. 2
steel daily" Mr.. Walker claimed.
He added that it was now or never"
for every housewife Of the city to
salvage household cans.
Food Administrator Wickard, In
his radio address last night outlining
foods to be rationed, said rationing
was due not only to the demands of
the armed forces and lease-lend but
also to shortages Of canning ma
terials.
Mr.. Walker said 1t was his opinion
that further rationing of canned
goods might come if supplies of can
ming materials are not forthcoming.
Procedure Outlined.
Mr.. Walker again outlined the
procedure in preparing cans. 1t is
Wash emptied cans thoroughly and
remove labels.
Cut bottoms and tops. tuck them
inward, then f1atten entire can.
Place cans in substantial con-
tainer and set it out on days of
garbage collection.
The salvage official stressed that
more business establishments should
join in the commercial tin can
salvage program. Pickups are made
in trucks volunteered by the bottling
industry here.
