In the attics and cellars of
homes, in garages, tool sheds,
and on farms, is a lot of Junk
which is doing no good where it
is, but which is needed at once to
help smash the Japs and Nazis.
Scrap iron and steel, for example. Old
radiators, lengths of pipe, refrigerators,
garbage pails, broken garden tools...
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.
"Even in peacetime our Nation relied
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
steel as all the rest of the world com-
bined.
But unless at least 6,000,000 addi-
- tional tons of scrap steel is uncovered
