CAN YOU BEAT THIS RECORD? Henry W. Backhaus, 558 S. Ashley St., has contributed a souvenir collection to the scrap drive his automobile license plates dating back to 1928. Mr. Backhaus decided he would rather have the license plates dropped on Japan or Germany in the form of bombs than merely nailed to a garage wall. A lot of people have saved their old tags. That was all right during peace times, but war needs scrap. How many old plates have you to give?
