Now our great challenge is to do n» this locality, an equally good*, job on icon and steel scrap, non-ferrous metals and rags. If we are to keep our steel mills going full blast this winter, we, the people of the nation, must increase the flow of scrap iron and steel by at least G.000,000 tons, twenty-five per cent more than normal. Every evidence indicates that the only way we can meet the require ments of war production is to obtain •very bit of scrap from every home, every commercial establishment, every industrial enterprise in the country. Two Methods are two ways in which you dispose of your scrap materials. You may collect all you can find anu "sell it to a junk dealer-or »you donate it- to the salvage conim There are three salvage depots Fleming Implements, Chuck Millars Trucking Co. and The McHenrs Equipment Co. AH those desiring to turn in scrap material are asked to leave it at any of these places. The scrap materials which are donated to the salvage committee will b« sold to a junk dealer. The money which is obtained from it will be given to the Red Cross and the U. S. O. ' The following men have been chosen for the local salvage committee: Clarence Anglese, chairman, Gus Freund, R. M. Fleming, Geo. P. Freund, Chuck Miller, Paul Schwerman, Paul Yanda, Fred Ferwerda and M. L. Schoenholtz Anyone having junk for tne committee are-asked to call any of th6 following telephone numbers: Mc- Henry 185, 33, J70 or 97-J.
