Industry Urged to Dig
Up More Scrap Metal
Washington. Oct. 26?An appeal
to industrial concerns and private
citizens to "dig deeper and even
deeper" for scrap materials came
today from Donald M. Nelson, chairman
of the war production board.
"Nothing is more important to
war production than scrap," Nelson
said in a statement. "The amount
of scrap we get depends in a targe
measure on industrial scrap. It is
essential to the successful solving of
the winter supply problem."
He said that "every plant must
undegro a thorough, old-fashioned
housecleaning" and asserted that all
i equipment that cannot be repaired
and put to use for war c-flort "be!
longs on the nation's scrap pile."
During the second half of 1942.
| industrial firms must provide at
' least 12.000.000 tons of scrap, he said.
Nelson declared the results obI
taincd by the newspapers in that
I recent genera! salvage drive showed
i the "kind of co-operation they can
leive and we aro uraft-fiil trv !
for their magnificent job." j'
SCRAP THE JAP j:
Wo give the scrap to whip the Jap. j,
We give the rubber, we give the i'
tin.
For us to do less would be a sin. i '
We give the iron, we give the steel, ' i
All of which the Japs will feel. 1
| Our brave marines are planning to \
go t
j From the Solomon Islands to Tokyo. 3
j And when they have completed the c
trip, i
| They'll have the Japs within their
grip. t
When they are ready to close the i
trap, r
May the Lord have mercy on the 1
sneaking Jap. t

Even when made from turtles tcusrh.

home.
Women of Western North Caro;
Una have not forgotten these things
I during the present scrap metal cam|
paign. They know, too, that the
| battle will end sooner if American
i soldiers and sailors have snnnrinr
| weapons of war. They know that to
have superior weapons, this coun- '
try must first turn in its scrap j
metal?all of it.
So Western North Carolinians j
who love their country and fighting |
men are gathering every bit of'
scrap metal in sight. They have i
been working hard but they will re- j
double their efforts during the next
few days. The campaign ends Wed- !
nesday night.
The frost and the harvest will not
stop them. The bridge table, or the
party up the street or the wedding
next week will not sidetrack them.
They want their boys to come
back home to Western North Caro- .
lina safe and victorious.
