CHAMMAN, WAS MODUOION SOASO A crisis exists in our war production program which can be solved only by the patriotic cooperation of the ‘American people. We are faced with a serious shortage of steel scrap, rubber and other vital materials. This shortage must be filled. By "scrap" we mean the ordinary J unit which today is lying in the barnyards and in the gullies of farms; in the basements, attics and garages of homes and stores throughout the country. ★ ★ * f The steel industry operates on the basis ot half-and-half—about 50 per cent metal from pig iron and 59 per cent remelted scrap metal. Therefore, about SO per cent ot every tank, every ship, every submarine and every gun is made of scrap iron and steeL The steel industry has been rapidly stepping up its production—from 67,000,000 tons in 1940 to a recordbreaking 83,000,000 tons in 1941. Production in 1942 is already ahead of*|94l, but we need to get production up to the industry's full capacity of 90,000,000 tons—a total equal to the output of the rest of the world combined; -JThis volume of production cannot be attained or increased unless an additional 6,000,000 tons of scrap iron and steel is obtained promptly. We are faced with the fact that some steel furnaces have been allowed to cool down and that many of them are operating from day to day and hand to mouth, due only to the lack of scrap. The rubber stui-tion is also critical. In spite of the recent rubber drive, there is a continuing need for large quantities of scrap rubber. We are collecting every possible pound of scrap from the factories, arsenals and shipyards; we are speeding up the flow of material from automobile graveyarris- we • art tearing up abandoned railroad tracks and bridges, but unless we dig out an additional 6,000,000 tons of steel and great quantities of rubber, copper, bnm, zbc and tin, our boys may not get aU the fighting weapons they need in time. .Fortunately, the material exists in Americas great above the ground.’! ’ "

We have set up the machinery for this, but it is not perfect. It is a problem that can be licked only by American resourcefulness, American organization ability, American muscle and American will to win. ★ ★ ★ We now have in every state a State Salvage Committee of volunteers working directly under the governor. Under these state committees we have county committees and local committees. We have special industrial committees working with executives of plants in 421 industrial centers. In rural communities we have the County War Boards. These committees can tell you the quickest way to get your Junk into action. In behalf of the governor and the state committee we urge every committee to organize itself into a band of ‘‘Salvage Commandos.’! You can either sell your scrap to a Junk dealer or you can give it to a charity, which in turn will sell it to a Junk dealer who performs an important function by sorting it, grading it, packing it and shipping it to the nght place. We urge local charities and civic organisations to cooperate with the Local Salvage Committee and devise a plan of action and collection. W< urge the scrap dealer to cooperate as fast as he can in the collection and shipment of materials. industrial executives to appoint Salvage Managers who have both the responsibilit y and authority to salvage obsolete machinery, tools and dies; . ur f* CMr y farmer and every householder in Amenca to act at once. Go over your premises with a fine tooth comb. If you have already turned in your scrap, look again—you’ll probably find more. t/ \ If you do not have enough of your own to warrant someone eommg after it, form a neighborhood pool, or take it yourself to the nearest collection point, Iftlwe han old heater or boiler in your basement too heavy for you to move, get your neighbors to help you.

HOW SCRAP IRON AND STEEL GO TO WAR The steel used in our war machines is made by melting together 1. Pig iron (about 50%) 2. Scrap generated in the steel plant in the process of steelmaking (about 25%) 3. Scrap purchased from outside Junk sources (about 25%) We have plenty of iron ore to make the pig iron needed. But our furnaces operate faster when there is plenty of scrap to mix with the pig iron. This so-called "scrap” which goes into the furnaces to make the steel for tanks, ships and guns is actually refined steel—with most impurities removed. Some of the finest quality steels are made 100% from scrap. The iron and steel scrap which you collect is bought by the steel mills from scrap dealers at established governmentcontrolled prices. ‘ Throw YOUR scrap into the fight! — — JUNK needed for War Scrap Iron and Staff ■h i 1 ! k R'l L WEflrjenM fer HooM lor tasks, ahip*. gun*—*n njudune* and «rtn* ot ww.
