FARMERS GATHER SCRAP FOR WAR: Farmers throughout Washtenaw county are building up piles of scrap metals on their farms this week in a drive by the County Defense Council's salvage committee to put more old metal back into war industry. Typical of the rural salvage efforts is this growing scrap pile, about to be increased by an old cream can. The drive seeks to have all farm scrap collected by Saturday. Salvage metals not sold by farmers individually soon afterwards will be collected.
