that time scores of steel mills fac
ed shutdowns for lack of vital
materials. What the newspapers
fcc'omplished in that drive is his
tory. The situaiion was saved
with more than 6.000,000 tons of
precious metal collected.
Now it is the puipwood cam
paign and it is equally .serious be
cause hundreds of thousands of
cords of the nation’s puipwood
are required for war purposes.
The Victory Puipwood Cam
