Ignominy is no longer the fate of old, worn-out automobiles and the Platt school children, shown above toting an ancient car body on their small express wagon, are proving the point by getting the scrapped machine to the pile whence it will be transported to the smelters, remoulded into vital war machinery and dispatched on its last journey to the war-torn corners of the world. Platt pupils shown bringing in the car (they've already brought in a great deal of other scrap material) are, left to right, Ralph Terry, Ronald Daugherty, Frank Michelfelder, Eleanor Daugherty, Guy Blachman and Donald Adams.

STUDENTS COLLECT SCRAP PAPER: Members of the Victory Committee at Tappan school spent a lot of time last week collecting paper for a scrap drive, and at the end of the week discovered they had accumulated 50,862 pounds of paper. Here some of the committee members and their advisor are shown with part of the haul. In front from left to right are Miss Marie Bloomfield, teacher in charge, and Nancy Townsend. In the rear, sitting on the pile of papers are Jim Ueberhorst, Wesley Pennington and Bill Slawson. The boy sitting directly behind Nancy at the right is Virgil Fairbanks.

Two days of scouting in backyards in rural areas of the county resulted in the collection of the car body, bed frames, old boilers and miscellaneous scrap metal shown above. The five salvage scouts, shown with their "band," say they know where "there's a whole lot more." Left to right the youthful junk collectors are: Waldo Steinaway, jr., 12 years old, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Waldo Steinaway of 27 Burton Rd; Jean McAllister, 13, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold McAllister of 5010 Park Rd; Robert Hodge, jr., 10, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hodge of 44 Luella Rd; Donald McAllister, six, brother of Jean; and Arthur Steinaway, brother of Waldo. Just as the picture was taken, Ranger, their canine moral support, strolled in to post also.

TWO PATRIOTIC GIRLS AT WORK: With their own slogan, "Down with the Rising Sun, our work has just begun", Shirley Ducharme, 12, and Leah Levleit, 13, of Whitmore Lake Rd., have scoured the fields near their homes and gathered this great pile of scrap for the war effort. Rural areas yield vast amounts of scrap, a source barely tapped so far.
