Use Classified Ads A Week of The War Tlie U. S. Overall output of plane.;, ' tanks, ships, guns and ammunition during June was nearly three times thai. of last November, the month before Pearl Harbor. War Produc tion Cliairman Nelson reported Mr. Nelson stated, however, "too much boasting about production progress is altogether premature ? the bigges". part of the job is still ahead". Any letup now. he said, would mean years more of war and hundreds of thousands more lives." Chairman Nelson, as an index of the Nation's productive effort, esti mated that approximately 36 per cent of the U. S.'s record breaking income during the first six months of this year went into military channels. This compares, he said, to the 50 to 75 per cent of total In come being spent by Great Britain and Germany. The War Porduction Board an nounced it will concentrate produc tion of civilian soods in certain plants and regions as much as pos sible.

The OPA pub lished rumen ?tfdnwsM of ftoU reprum ntlh i i *ti? mar fee oalM "What's it good for?" "Guns, tanks, and maybe part of a plane" JUNK needed for War In the barnyards and gullies of farms and in the basements and attics of homes is a lot of Junk which is doing no good where it is, but which is needed at once to help smash the Japs >'nd Nazis. Scrap ire-, and stce!, for example. Even in peacetime, scrap provided about 50 ?o of the raw material for steel. It may be rusty, old ' scrap" to you. but it is actually refined steel ? with most impurities removed, and can be quickly melted with new metal in the form of pig iron to produce highest quality steel for our war machines. The production of steel has gone up. up, UP, until today Amcrica is turning out as much steel as all the rest of the world combined. But unless at least 6,000,000 additional tons of scrap ?teel is uncovered promptly, the full rate of production cannot be attained or increased; the necessary tanks, guns and ships cannot he produced. The rubber situation is also critical. In spiti of the recent rubber drive, there is a continuing need for large quantities of scrap rubber. Also for other waste materials and metals like brass, copper, z'm. lead and tin. The Junk which you collect is bought by industry from scrap dealers at estab lished, government-controlled prices. Will you help? First ? collect all of your waste ma terial and pile it up. Then ? sell it to a Junk dealer, give it to a charity, take it yourself to the nearest collection point, or get in touch with your Local Salvo ge Committee. If you live on a farm, consult your County War Board or your farm imple ment dealer. Throw YOUR scrap into the fight!
