Old radiators, lengths of pipe, refrigerator^ garbage pails, broken garden tools... It may be rusty, old "scrap" to you, but it is actually refined stecj, 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. A ' ^ Even in peacetime our Nation relied 5 on scrap to provide about 50% of the raw material for steel. Now production of steel has gone up, up, UP, until, today America is turning out as much •teel as all the rest of the world combined. \ ' ^ But unleas at least 6,000,000 addatfooel toot of scrap steel is uncovered promptly, the full rate of production necessary tanks, guns, and ships cannot be produced.

Also for other waste materials and metals like brass, copper, zinc, lead, and tin. America needs your active assistance fe rounding up these materials.
